Laughing at Donald Trump is Your Patriotic Duty

Featuring: Michael Kosta, Kathryn Hahn, and Andy Huggins

Only 88 days left until the election— and today is National Veep Day! 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. Michael Kosta is one of The Daily Show’s best hosts. I could watch him skewer the week’s politics news every night. In this clip, he covers Biden’s big comeback, why Donald Trump is having a crowd-measuring contest with Martin Luther King Jr., the astronauts whose 10-day mission is turning into eight months, and Elon Musk's legal temper tantrum:

2. More Kosta, joking about Tim Walz's debut at Philadelphia's rowdy Harris rally, the GOP struggle to find an attack line on the new VP candidate, and Republicans descending into tampon turmoil:

3. Jimmy Kimmel is on hiatus, but the show is posting some fun clips from the guest-hosts they had a few weeks ago. This sketch based on Kathryn Hahn playing every Star Wars character in a one-act play is absolutely hilarious:

4. Finally, I just discovered Andy Huggins, and I thought I’d share him with you. Here’s his new Don’t Tell set, full of excellent one-liners. Enjoy:

Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend.
