Martin Short Is What I'm Thankful For This Christmas

Also: Colin Jost, Michael Che, Stephen Colbert, and Jimmy Kimmel

Happy Holidays! 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. Martin Short is probably the best Saturday Night Live host ever. SNL put out this promo last week before the show, but it’s as good (better!) than most of their sketches, due to Short’s brilliance. I’ll share more sketches from the show next week. Enjoy:

2. SNL continued their yearly Joke Swap between Colin Jost and Michael Che, and this year’s did not disappoint:

3. The Colbert team released another one of their yearly animated Christmas specials, and I just love ‘em— chock full of great jokes at Trump’s expense, as Santa intended. Check it out:

4. And finally, a fun little Christmas political sketch from Kimmel, making fun of the whole Trump team:

Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend.
