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!

In years past, Penn's commencement speakers included Jon Huntsman Jr (C'87), Google chairman Eric Schmidt, and Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

If you missed SNL this weekend, you would have missed Vanessa Bayer (C'04) doing her Miley Cyrus impression alongside the actual Miley Cyrus (dressed us as Justin Bieber).
After the jump, watch the sketch (be sure to watch the whole bit, especially around minute 3:10 when Miley breaks character a bit to let Vanessa know what she really thinks of her impression.)
Plus, check out Vanessa's return to Penn's campus to support the comedy group she got her start in!

If you saw this weekend's SNL, you would have seen Vanessa Bayer (C'04, Bloomers) playing a very convincing Bar Mitzvah boy whose Hollywood music exec "big shot" uncle brings in performances by Taylor Swift (played by Gwyneth Paltrow
), Jay-Z (Jay Pharoah), Alicia Keys (Nasim Pedrad), Katy Perry (Abby Elliott), and Cee Lo Green (himself).After the jump, watch SNL jew-ify popular songs and check out some of my favorite lines!

If you missed this weekend's Scarlett Johansson hosted SNL, you would have missed a sketch that appeared later in the show starring Vanessa Bayer (C'04, Bloomers) as a "child star of tomorrow".
If you know child actors who deliver all lines in that "sing-songy" manner, you'll LOVE this sketch!
...Especially her interpretation of Brokeback Mountain
!Watch it after the jump!

If you missed SNL on Saturday night you missed seeing Penn alum Vanessa Bayer's (C'04, Bloomers) enthusiastic energy and smile planted in a good number of sketches. In fact, her face was the first to open the show in a sketch where she played a secretary announcing Christine O'Donnell's arrival at the Republican National Committee Headquarters.
Having been a fan of SNL now for almost 25 years, it is clear to me that Vanessa's got "it". As I watched her through the show, it became clear to me that she reminded me of a young Cheri Oteri.... super committed to her characters with that great smile! ...I realized this during the sketch when she played a woman lunching commenting on how fantastic her friend's "tiny hat" was.
After the jump check out the "Wedding Venue: it could happen" and "Tiny Hat" sketches she appeared in and screengrabs from all her appearances throughout the show (including the magical look from Vanessa in the show's final "goodbye" moments)!

Like many SNL castmates, Vanessa comes from doing Chicago's Second City. Per her bio on the Second City website,
"The Cleveland native was director of Bloomers sketch group at the University of Pennsylvania and has interned at Late Night With Conan O'Brien and Sesame Street. Vanessa now performs in Chicago with iO Theater's Revolver, the puppet show FELT, Annoyance's Splatter Theater and Lil Talent Show and does stand-up at Zanies. Many thanks to her sassy family and friends for teaching her that laughter truly is the best medicine."
By the looks of her Blue Shield of California parody commercial above, Vanessa will have no problem fitting into SNL and giving Kristin Wiig a run for her money! Good luck Vanessa! (thanks to Abby Barba (C'03) for the tip!)
Congrats to the Bloomers, but let's not forget some notable Mask and Wig alumni in some classic film and TV HERE
