Saturday Night Live is over for the season, and the finale was also Kristen Wiig's last show. She is perhaps the last great women of SNL. - Those new girls are good, but they're not there yet.
This finale was chock full of Kristen naturally. They brought out a few of her old classic characters, Denise of the Lawrence Welk show, and Mindy Greyson from Secret Word. They've also been doing classic Kristen characters all season.
The best part of the ep was perhaps the musical goodbye from Mick Jagger, while Kristen danced with each of the cast members. -the boys looked good in their suits....and they all looked sad, and I gotta admit I had tears rolling at this point. Ruby Tuesday might be stuck in my head for awhile.
I'm sure Kristen will go onto many great things in the future, and I'll follow. Also there's always opportunities to come back to SNL for guest appearances or even hosting!
But I wanted to take the time to note a few of my all time fave Kristen Wiig sketches/characters.
Easily in my top 5, The Target (or Turget) Lady. I love her! She's funny, kooky and quotable! o "Aprooved!" "Yeah!"
Kathie-Lee Griffin, especially when used with someone playing Hoda. -Although the overall thing lost something once I learned that those 2 are actually like that on their show. But Kristen is still HILARIOUS!
Kath and Garth (with Fred Armisen) - always makes for good crack ups, a sketch that is literally just the two of them making up songs on the spot and copying from each other.
Denise on the Lawrence Welk show - so creepy, but hilarious. She's so gross, but its funny.
The 2 A-holes (with Jason Sudekis) -started off hating this sketch, cause they seemed annoying, but recently I have really come to LOVE these guys....and find myself saying "What?" all the time.
Gilly - I love to hate Gilly. She's silly and annoying, but so awesome!
Michelle Bachman....not really into political sketches, but Michelle Bachman is too crazy to not love, and Kristen makes almost anything funny!
-I'm sure I'll think of more characters later, but for now....farewell Kristen, can't wait to see what you do in the future, and come back soon!!!!!
