Last night, Kristen Wiig bid farewell to Saturday Night Live. She is/was by far my favorite SNL cast member.
The final sketch of the night used a loose graduation premise to send Kristen off in style. As Arcade Fire played “She’s a Rainbow,” Wiig danced with each of her cast mates in turn while trying to hold back tears. Finally, SNL head honcho Lorne Michaels had the last dance, and the band transitioned into “Ruby Tuesday.” Mick Jagger, the band, and the cast sang the nostalgic tune together, joined by a few SNL veterans -- Amy Poehler, Rachel Dratch, and Chris Kattan. It’s tough to watch this touching tribute without tearing up.
Here are Kristen Wiig's most memorable sketches and characters:
