As the celebration of Hanukkah came to a close last night, Jacob, Seth Meyers’ podiatrist’s son and a recent Bar Mitzvah, came on Weekend Update to share the story of Hanukkah with SNL viewers. His telling of the bravery of the Maccabees and the evil King Antiochus is done in the way any 13-year-old Jewish boy communicates with a large audience when in the spotlight: he reads so slowly that it hurts and clearly annunciates, thanks the individuals involved in helping him reach this pivotal stage in his life, tells his brother that he still loves him (even though they fight), and makes awkward jokes about his parents. Oh, and like every 13-year-old boy in New York, he likes the Yankees (Ed.- I was a Mets fan).

If you’ve ever been to a Bar Mitzvah before, you’ll know that Vanessa Bayer is so spot-on that it literally hurts. If you haven’t, you’ll realize that you really haven’t missed anything by not having attended one. Mazel Tov!

#WeekdayUpdate: In recent news, Seth Meyers addressed students in Salomon DECI this evening. Among other things, he told stories of bar fights in Vegas, answered Brown students’ questions, and read recent provocative Weekend Update headlines that producers wouldn’t allow on air. In case you missed out on the festivities, check out some pictures below:

Spring is almost upon us: the clocks have sprung forward, and students have flocked to the Main Green to enjoy the pleasant weather and sunshine. Sun’s out, fun’s out.

With March Madness, St. Patty’s Day and a visit from Seth Meyers on the horizon, it’s only fitting we look to SNL’s “Weekend Update” city correspondent, Stefon, for advice on New York’s hottest spring spots. Yes, we are in Providence and not in NYC, but I don’t think many of us would be surprised  to find out clubs like these actually exist in this glorious city. Allow this clip to help better acquaint you with Seth Meyers before his visit to campus on Tuesday. If you’re brave enough, ask him about the long-awaited smooch between the dynamic duo, instigated by Stefon (4:10), who’s always had a thing for Seth — perhaps he was inspired to action by Carly Rae Jepsen?
