Last week, SNL (and Penn alum) Vanessa Bayer (C'04) was the commencement speaker at Annenberg's undergraduate graduation ceremony.
After the jump, watch the speech, find out about Vanessa's path from Penn to SNL, which group at Penn passed on the "Bayer magic", and why she didn't really want to get a role in a Planters Peanut commercial she was called in for!
, London is the Best City in America
and now her new book The First Husband
(read an excerpt here).
Over the past 4+ years, I've covered lots of alumni performing improv.
There is one particular style of improv that has really caught my eye, or I should say ear: the musical improv.
After the jump, watch how Tom Christensen's (W'03, Mask and Wig) mind works as he spins the suggested phrase "You go get her boy" into a one-man musical about: a boy who crushes on a girl, a dorky chemistry teacher, jealous friends ruling the school, a frank conversation between a mother and son, and "popular girls".
And don't blame if you find yourself humming the tune to his featured "I'm not a date rapist" song all day.
Seriously, watch how his mind works.
If you recall, a few months ago, Penn alum Todd Lieberman (C'95, Mask and Wig, AEPi) was busy producing the latest Muppet movie due out in November.
The movie has wrapped and now the film's clever new marketing campaign has hit the web.
After the jump, check out this fun new "fake" trailer for a movie called Green with Envy and just keep watching until minute 0:51.
Love it!
