Double check for grammar
Do I need a comma after "know"?

A comma would be helpful to avoid ambiguity. Without a comma, the sentence can be interpreted as "You know Tom, so you're a real idiot". That's what I thought :)

Edit: I misread it
Now I see what you mean
Thanks for the feedback!

Correct options: either two commas (before and after apellation) or no commas.
The sentence as it is has not too much sense.

(Or: You know Tom, he's a real idiot.)

Second comma added.
(Edit: changed wording of comment)
