Since joining the cast of Saturday Night Live in 2010, actress/comedian Vanessa Bayer has achieved a fair share of success, having become a repertory player with more recurring characters than almost anyone else on the show. But things weren't always going so well. Appearing on last night's Conan, Bayer told the host…
Janessa Slater (SNL's Vanessa Bayer) is a media coach who specializes in managing musicians. Here she is sitting down with UK boy band The Wanted to advise them on how to handle their U.S. careers.
