Vanessa Bayer | AGE 39 | $3 Million
Vanessa Bayer earned her degree at the University of Pennsylvania before becoming an intern for Sesame Street and Late Night with Conan O’Brien. Her film debut was in Off the Cuff, and she later joined the cast of Saturday Night Live. She was also part of the comedy troupe Bloomers. She later starred in the stage show, Jewsical: The Musical. Her best roles were Jacob the Bar Mitzvah Boy and impressions of different celebrities and political figures like Kourtney Kardashian, Hillary Clinton, and even Lady Gaga.
Today, Bayer is headlining Big Deal along with former SNL star Molly Shannon. The show will be airing at Showtime, where Bayer will be playing the role of a child who overcame leukemia and aimed for a job as a home shopping channel host. Shannon might be playing her rival here. The idea of two SNL stars working together in a show has gained a lot of interest among their fans.
