What an incredible finish to an incredible SNL career. Kristin Wiig has in some ways carried SNL over the past seven years. Especially for those in my generation, it felt like a tragedy when Will Ferrell decided to pursue a promising film career. How could we go on? It was nice to see Wiig find herself within the starring cast members and bring her quirky comedy stylings to a show that needed something new and fresh to keep it going.
I love how Wiig isn't afraid to "go there." She's not afraid to get ugly, to get silly, and best of all, get absolutely vile. Her presence in pop culture is a glorifying representation of who every girl is, but can sometimes be afraid to be. Does this mean that women can be goofy again? Are we still hot? Dammit, I think so.
This video is absolutely adorable. Like, makes my heart hurt adorable. Can we please note the reactions of Bill Hader and Jason Sudekis? Can they hug me like that? I'd truly appreciate it.
Plus, a send off by Mick Jagger? You really did have the best SNL career, Kristin.
