Vanessa Bayer has been an "SNL" cast member since 2010, but she's been developing her knack for wild, earnest characters her entire life. Best known for her Miley Cyrus impression. Bayer costars in the new Amy Schumer film "Trainwreck" as her slightly batty coworker Nikki. We caught up with Bayer to discuss her web series Sound Advice, her favorite kinds of characters, and -- oh my God -- her brilliant one-second Jennifer Aniston impression. "Trainwreck" opens July 17.

Well here's another reason to be envious of Leighton Meester. Yes, she was able to work alongside Blake Lively for several years on the small screen. And you bet she is married to The Oc alum Adam Brody. But the former Gossip Girl star just dropped a major bombshell about her past relationships that could make ladies a bit jealous. Turns out her previous boyfriends never wanted to end the relationship first. "I've never really been dumped I guess, but I've been hurt," Meester disclosed to Vanessa Bayer in another edition of Sound Advice. "Not really, but the most heartbreaking thing is I've just stuck it out for a really long time." Bayer, who plays media...

Nick Jonas is in the hot seat! The "Jealous" singer did a hilarious interview with the web show "Sound Advice," hosted by "Saturday Night Live" star Vanessa Bayer. In the skit, Bayer plays media coach Vanessa Slater, who sits down and asks the 22-year-old heartthrob a few Tmi questions … while also handing out advice on music and his love life. "So one of your new songs is titled ‘Jealous’ and I feel like people must have a lot of sympathy for someone who’s dating a former Miss Universe," the comedian jokes, referencing Jonas’s girlfriend Olivia Culpo. Throwing more shade, the comedian then says, "But the Miss Universe thing, it’s like, bulls**t, right?" "Slater" then starts hitting on Jonas … and that’s where things get really awkward. "Have you ever thought of dating like a famous media coach? And if you dated her, how gently would you date her?...

Nick Jonas' latest interview will definitely make you laugh out loud! The singer recently filmed a hilarious video for Above Average's comedy web show Sound Advice.

Here's the trailer for Amy Schumer's new movie "Trainwreck." She wrote it and stars in it. I cannot effing wait. Let's rank all the memorable players in this flawless trailer. 7. Brie Larson: Ever since "United States of Tara," we've been waiting for the proper Brie Larson showcase. "Short Term 12" wasn't my thing. This will be my thing. #JusticeForBrieLarson 6. Colin Quinn: Inspired casting! I like Colin as a philandering dad who levels with his kids (rather dubiously) about the hardships of romance. He's throwing down some Danny Aiello grit here. Next stop: a cameo as Madonna's disapproving father in a music video about abortion. 5. Vanessa Bayer: Always love V-Bay's "Sound Advice" web series, and I'm glad she gets to employ her kooky version of intelligence and charm here. 4. LeBron James: I interviewed Bill Hader for "The Skeleton Twins" last summer, and he talked about...

I love Vanessa Bayer's web series "Sound Advice" on the Above Average network. She plays "media coach" Janessa Slater, a haplessly hacky advisor to famous musicians. In the past she's counseled Aimee Mann, Ted Leo, Haim, and Drake, and today she just embarrasses the hell out of Norah Jones and her country band Puss n Boots (featuring Sasha Dobson and Catherine Popper). Their session together is hilarious and excruciating. Also: Norah Jones is an exact hybrid of Helena Bonham Carter and Chloe Grace Moretz. Discuss. ...
