Shane Gillis Elevates Saturday Night Live

Also featuring: Mike Myers and Pete Davidson

Happy National Open an Umbrella Indoors 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. Mike Myers was back again on Saturday Night Live last weekend! They did a sketch where Donald Trump attempts to keep the peace between Marco Rubio and Elon Musk. Enjoy:

2. Shane Gillis was the host, and his monologue, which is basically his current standup act, was excellent as usual:

3. This sketch went viral (6M views right now) and I loved it. The premise is “A man advertises a new medication that helps when life hits a low point”. Do yourself a favor and watch it right now:

4. Finally, a funny sketch from SNL’s 50th a few weeks ago, that I’ve been meaning to share with you all. Pete Davidson’s “Chad” character is always hilarious:

Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend.
