Rosie O’Donnell Strikes Back

Happy National Sponge Cake 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 and Instagram.

And now, the videos you came for:

1. Rosie O’Donnell made her big talk-show return this week, as guest host on Kimmel. She talks about her old hosting days, moving to Ireland after reading Project 2025 and Trump winning the election, and wanting to date her new pharmacist:

2. I also liked her second night hosting, where she talked about a new professional women’s baseball league called the WPBL, Trump waking up bright and early to name the Strait of Hormuz as a U.S. Territory, her 13-year-old Clay being diagnosed with Autism at a young age, and interviewed an adorable 3-year-old girl named Leona who performs “Let It Go” from Frozen:

3. Sebastian Maniscalco was on Fallon recently, and he always makes me laugh:

4. And finally Bill Maher had a great segment this week where he made a strong case for bringing back office romance:

Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend.
