As part of our Holiday Fest now into the Hanukkah season, we head back to SNL. For a while they had a series of periodic appearances on the Weekend Update segment where Vanessa Bayer would come on as Jacob the Bar Miztvah Boy. Her performances were deeply meticulous, gentle and wonderful. And they're impeccably written with a knowing eye. I thought I'd post three of them.
First, here is Jacob talking about Hanukkah traditions with Weekend Update host Seth Meyers.
And in her return, Jacob comes back to talk with anchor Meyers about the story of Hanukkah.
And finally, Jacob returns to explain Hanukkah's origins, this time with anchor Michael Che.
