The sketches were mostly mediocre, the musical acts did nothing for me, and even Stefon ( **Stefon!** :eek: ) was a bit of a letdown.

But the whole episode was redeemed at the end, where the band played _Goodbye Ruby Tuesday_ while Kristen Wiig held back tears and danced with each of her castmates. Priceless. ☹

The finale was last week (5/19), right? Last night (5/26) was a repeat.

Oops! :smack:

Yeah, the finale, sorry. I only watched it last night.
