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:
Jerry Seinfeld did an appearance on Fallon and it was great! He talked about going on tour with Jim Gaffigan, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, and asking AI for marriage advice:
Colbert did a great monologue where he talked about President Biden issuing a pardon to keep his son Hunter out of prison, MAGA loyalist Kash Patel becoming President-elect Donald Trump's pick for FBI Director, and Trump's choice for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth’s history of alcoholism:
I’ve performed with Laura Peek and she is simply marvelous. She did an appearance on Fallon recently, joking about getting her identity stolen, selecting her bridesmaids, and smoking:
D.J. Demers also did Fallon this week, and talked about the benefits of using an interpreter in his sets, staying in sketchy hotels, and unfollowing people on Instagram:
Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend.
