Jimmy Kimmel on Donald "Jigsaw" Trump

Also: Desi Lydic and Jon Stewart

We made it to February! Hi, I’m Geoff Plitt, and welcome to What You Need to Know, the brief, weekly newsletter where I share the best comedy videos I’ve seen all week. It will always be free, and you’re welcome to become a friend by following me on Twitter, Instagram, or TikTok, where I share my own jokes every week.

And now, the videos you came for:

1. First, an excellent segment from Kimmel where he discussed Trump’s press conference with Netanyahu where he unveiled a plan to steal Gaza, covered Trump’s “No Men in Women’s Sports” executive order, examines a man in Indiana who decided to demonstrate how nonsensical our gun laws are, and does a fun game with Ariana Grande:

2. Next, a segment from The Daily Show where Desi Lydic covers Elon Musk's purge of USAID, Louisiana Senator John Kennedy's lust for omelets, and Trump's January 6 revenge on top FBI officials:

3. Then, a clip from a different night of The Daily Show, where Jon Stewart examines Trump's attacks on trans people, Canada, and DEI as his first presidential orders of business and asks: How is that making America great again?:

4. Finally, a sketch from a few months ago that I forgot to share, but so funny I had to include it this week: Each nominee for Trump’s cabinet is nuttier than the last, and while this is all very unsettling to those of us who care about who’s running the country, it’s also a lot of fun for kids!

Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend.
