Ring in the New Year with Nate Bargatze, Whitney Cummings, and Beth Stelling

Happy New Year! Wow, we made it to 2025. 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. Usually I share content you can watch right on YouTube, but sometimes the best comedy is on Netflix, so I’m posting the trailer here instead. Nate Bargatze is always funny, and his latest special is no excepton. He talks about being a man of the 1900s, marriage dynamics, and more:

2. Whitney Cummings made headlines last night on CNN for roasting Anderson Cooper, Andy Cohen, Biden and the Democrats, and more:

3. Here’s a sketch from last week’s SNL that I didn’t have room for then, so here it is now. The cold open was Martin Short getting inducted into the coveted “Five-Timers Club”, featuring cameos from a bunch of other celebrities as well:

4. And finally, don’t sleep on Beth Stelling. She is always hilarious and so likeable. Here’s a new Don’t Tell set she released recently:

Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend.
