I absolutely loved Vanessa Bayer‘s “Jacob the bar mitzvah boy” character the first time she popped up, so I’m thrilled that she made a repeat appearance on Saturday Night Live last weekend. Jacob appeared on Weekend Update to teach Seth – and the audience, presumably – about the meaning of Passover. Her impression of an awkward, dorky bar mitzvah kid is actually so perfect that I break out in hives while watching her.
