Jono Zalay Married a Pandemic Bride

Also: Jimmy Kimmel and Pete Davidson

Happy February! Hello, 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 day.

1. I’ve performed with Jono Zalay and he’s one of the funniest comics working today. He just made his late-night debut on Corden with a killer set. He talks about about turning 40, going to therapy, and marrying a pandemic bride. And do check out Jono’s album “Midnight Oil” on your favorite music service.

2. Jimmy Kimmel celebrated 20 years of his late-night show last week with an epic monologue that you really must watch:

3. Jimmy also filmed an interview with his 20-years-ago young self somehow. In the era of deep-fakes, I’m not sure I believe he really filmed half of this 20 years ago, but if he did, that’s even more amazing:

4. And finally, Pete Davidson’s full-length special from 2016, “SMD” is now available to watch on YouTube for free! Check it out:

That’s all she wrote!
