I love that wide eyed grin she does when she says something horrible and traumatic. Lol

[MeganKoumori]

If you've ever watched Disney Channel acting, you know how scary accurate this is.

"HE MIGHT GET 10 MILLION DOLLARS...FROM THIS NETWORK!"

Shots fired!

Vanessa Bayer as Laura Parsons is the only time I can imagine becoming incontinent with laughter at the sentence, "Best case scenario, you're molested!" I don't know if she lowers her timbre but raises her volume when she drops the "adult content" parts, or what but, her delivery in all of these bits puts me over the edge. The timing on "He might get 10 million dollars [pause] FROM THIS NETWORK!" is exquisite.

This is hilarious, I love Vanessa Bayer!

Where has Vanessa Bayer been? I love her so much

[internziko]

My gosh. I don't think I've ever seen a more adorable adult woman.

I wish LAURA was a permanent cohost on weekend update 😂😂😂😂😂

[hubdeep]

"Allo Governor" had me in stitches. Although some people think that's how we speak 😂
Vanessa is one of my all-time favourite comedians.

[laureny]

literally my favorite skit i'm so sad she's leaving

[Eddddman]

It amazes me how just by sitting on a lower chair she looks so little

[fan]

BLAAAH HAHAHAHAHAHAH I STAYED UP ALL NIGHT FOR THIS SO WORTH IT

[michaelcovel]

Glad they kept her on
When she first started, I was sure she wouldn't be on more than a season or two.
Her weekend update characters are the best.

VB’s delivery was truly brilliant as usual, but MC’s reactions were also spot on with perfect tone and timing

[yulaw]

1:18 hey toots! if you want this job you better give me the goods! 🤣

[NickAdams]

I honestly miss Vanessa Bayer on SNL. This was on of my favorite roles of hers on the show.

[Fidel_Adiyanta]

Michael Che playing the serious part in this Manzai doesn’t get enough love.

[SeunLight]

This is quite similar to Jacob the Jewish podiatrist's kid, and as usual she nailed it

[johnjohnson]

This was one of Bayer's best characters. Bayer is in my Top Five SNL females of all time.

[wwalsh]

I watch this frequently! What a remarkable talent she is!
