Kristin Wiig Made SNL Funny Again

Happy National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day! 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. The latest episode of Saturday Night Live with host Kristin Wiig was the best one I’ve seen in years, so all of my selections this week are sketches from it. This sketch “Jumanji” was so good, I’ve watched it 3 times already. Enjoy:

2. Another sketch they did was a perfect horror-movie parody of a Pilates class:

3. Here’s one they did where parents distract their kids from some bad news by letting them ride the go-karts at an amusement park:

4. And finally, Kristin brought back her Aunt Linda character on Weekend Update to discuss her takes on the latest hit movies, like Barbie and Oppenheimer:

Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend.
