Jimmy Kimmel, The Emmys, and More

Featuring: Jimmy Kimmel, Guillermo, James Adomian, Aparna Nancherla, and Jourdain Fisher

Happy Fall! I know, Fall is still 3 days away, but I’m already in “Autumn” mode. 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.

There are 46 days until the election— make sure you’re registered to vote!

And now, the videos you came for:

1. James Adomian is one of my favorite comedians, and his impressions (Mike Lindell, Bernie Sanders, etc) are outstanding. You can hear some of them on his recent Kimmel appearance below, where he also promoted his upcoming special, which will be FREE on YouTube later today. I can’t wait to watch it.

2. And Kimmel’s sidekick Guillermo did his classic “back-to-back” interviews at the Emmys this weekend with a bunch of celebrities, quite fun to watch:

3. Aparna Nancherla is another great comic with amazing jokes, and she’s got a new Don’t Tell set you should check out. She talks about the the conspiracy with how much water you're actually supposed to drink per day, the biggest differences between NYC and LA, and why meditation apps are BS:

4. And I just discovered Jourdain Fisher, who also has a new Don’t Tell set. He e jokes about what it's like to be a Southerner without an accent, what unites Millennials against all other generations, and his favorite corner of the internet:

Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend.
