Also: Maria Bamford, Kevin Hart, Pete Davidson, Fortune Feimster, David Gborie, Nikki Glaser, and Stavros Halkias

Happy National Hiking Day! 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, Threads, Instagram, or TikTok, where I share my own jokes every day.

And now, the funny videos you came for:

1. I thought this Saturday Night Live cold-open from last weekend was especially on-point, and captured a lot of the weirdness of the GOP debate. Do yourself a favor and watch highlights from the debate here before you watch this, to fully appreciate it:

2. Maria Bamford is hilarious, and her 2007 special is now available to watch for FREE on YouTube, thanks to Comedy Central:

3. Prepare for your own Thanksgiving dinner by watching this new compilation from Comedy Central with comics like Kevin Hart, Pete Davidson, and Fortune Feimster talking about their families:

4. And check out one more reel from Comedy Central, featuring comedians such as David Gborie, Nikki Glaser, and Stavros Halkias unpacking all the weird, wild and straight-up dirty things people say in bed:

Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend.
