What The F Just Happened?
Featuring: Sacha Baron Cohen, Maya Rudolph, Jimmy Kimmel, and Desi Lydic
Happy National Bittersweet Chocolate With Almonds 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.
I can’t believe we finally made it through Election Day. The result made me sad, but I still believe in America, and the healing power of humor.
And now, the videos you came for:
Before election night, Sacha Baron Cohen was on Fallon and recapped some of his famous characters, by “moderating” a Trump/Kamala election. It was really fun:
Saturday Night Live also grabbed attention last weekend, with a Kamala-meets-Kamala sketch that was pretty hilarious:
Jimmy Kimmel’s reaction to the election outcome was touching and hilarious, but also highly critical, and I found myself both laughing and tearing up while watching:
And finally, Desi Lydic of The Daily Show also did a great job covering the election result, definitely worth a watch:
Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend.

Thank you, as always, for this important community service. Jimmy Kimmel for president (not that he'd want the job, but he'd be excellent - like Vaclav Havel in the Czech Republic - someone with a big soul).
