Unbelievably sad. I will miss her. She’s the greatest thing since Lucille Ball.

they danced to shes a rainbow, not ruby tuesday. ruby tuesday was played after they all danced and were saying goodbye.

Sucks to see her go, Andy Samberg and Jason Sudeikas too. Kristen is the best female cast member ever to perform on SNL. By far. Ghilly!!?? What?…….Sorry.

they didnt say anything about the others leaving they probably would have if they were it wouldnt make sense to say goodbye to only one when multiple are leaving, the stuff about the others seems to just be a rumor

Love Kristen Wiig….great gams too! And a good actress in Bridesmaids…..What are her current plans?

I’ll be getting her best of DVD for sure!!

She is the biggest leave by far, but the last 3 people she danced with were Sedakis, Sandberg and then Lorne. I think all 3 are leaving.

I think I’m gonna cry.

Lorne will never leave, the show will die with him. He’s just the show runner, he earned the final goodbye. It was bs that they didn’t honor the other two, though.

she will be missed as she was of the best cast members :)

LOL, this is easily one of the stupidest comments I have ever read. I honestly didn’t want to reply to this because of how baffling stupid it was but yeah….. do yourself a favor and please pull a Junior Seau and kill yourself.

“I don’t see a positive future… blah blah blah.”

Yeeaaah, and how many years people like you have been saying that??? It’s really cliche at this point. SNL isn’t going anywhere. They survived after Murray, Murphy, Farley, Farrell, and now Wiig. And they will go out and find the next big thing in comedy like they always do, so you can shut up about that. SNL has always been hit and miss comedy since day one! And it will always will be. People saying the crap you are saying for 30 years now is really tiring at this stage of bashing SNL funniness. What they have to do week in and week out is an absolute miracle! So sorry if they can’t be perfect for you each and every single effin week! Let’s see you put on a live 90 minute show in one week span, for 24 weeks in a year A-Hole!!!

Here’s the thing I hate about people like you. Because someone doesn’t like something, it doesn’t equal to that something being bad or not good. Because YOU don’t like Kristen Wiig, doesn’t equal her not being funny, it just equals YOU not liking her, THAT’S ALL! There’s a big… BIG reason why Kristen Wiig is getting all this attention for leaving SNL, because she is DAMN funny! Do not equate your dislike for her, to her not being funny because IT’S NOT THE SAME THING, and YOU DO NOT DECIDE IF SHE’S FUNNY OR NOT. It’s fine if you don’t like her, but do NOT come on her saying she isn’t funny because YOU do not like her. And the truth is no one gives a sh*t (besides you, and maybe your mom) what you like or do not like because it doesn’t matter, you are a nobody.

I’m sick of you pretentious wannabe comedy nerds who think they know what funny is. You’re like those pretentious music nerds who hates Coldplay but loves Radiohead. You all think you’re better then everyone else because you THINK you know what “good” is. Just stop, you’re just like everyone else in the world. What you think and have to say has no more or less value than the next person. Because at the end of the day, you are just one person out of 7.014 billion people. Your word doesn’t rule all, it just rules you….. and maybe your mom.

Yeah, they said the same thing about Murphy and Farrell, STFU!

Of COURSE they were pushing Kristen Wiig dumb ass, she is a true comedic talent and earned her spot. That is like saying, were going to bench LeBron James so we can develop these bench players and give them playing time and a shot. SO STUPID!!! Once LeBron is gone they will get their shot. Wiig is gone, so it is now time for Vanessa, Nasim, Abby and Kate (who I really like) to step it up. I love Abby (because she is so effin cute) but she’s reached her potential, Nasim has so much potential of becoming one of the great comedians of SNL as long as she keeps working hard and stays committed, Vanessa is really funny but she’s like Ana Gasteyer, she’s really good but not as good as the other girls, and Kate has the qualities to replace Wiig out of all of them. There’s something there, after watching the few skits that she was in this year, especially the Penelope Cruz skit, her delivery and timing was so on point (though the accent was lacking but it was still hilarious), there’s something there.

Your comment lost all credibility as soon as you told someone to, “…pull a Junior Seau and kill yourself.” You callously disrespected someone troubled enough to take his own life and suggested that another human should consider taking their life because they said something you didn’t like. That tells me that you are an irrational hothead and your opinion isn’t worth the ink it would take to write it down. Try thinking before you speak and you might be taken seriously.

You read my mind Lil. I saw all of Jaggers performances on the show, flipping back and fourth I just happend to tune in the last 3 min of the show and caught this. I ran and yelled to my girlfriend, “she’s leaving the show”, Wiig was my favorite actor on SNL. She is a true talent and will truly be missed. I wish her the absolute best, She deserves it,

SNL started in 1976…

Gonna miss Kristin Wiig, she’s a comedic genius. Now I see why Kate was added as a featured cast member, maybe now they’ll move Vanessa up. As much as I loved Kristen, now it’s time to Abby, Nasim, & Vanessa to really shine on the show. Good luck to her in the future.

I think it’s his last show too and I think he was just emotional about the whole thing.

lol that’s 36 years ago… which is almost 40

Its always so sad when I loved member of SNL leaves, but on the other hand. good for them I will miss the characters she portrays , the cashier from Target, Jilly, and the one she did last night w/the little hands

SNL started in 1975. Check IMDB.

Gotcha beat. Have watched SNL practically every episode since numero UNO. And I totally agree with you – people come and go – the show is hit and miss. But now it’s an American freaking institution – it’s one of our cultural icons and both a barometer and a journal of our times. It ain’t goin’ ANYWHERE until Loren says so. If anything, there are more comedians, more talent than ever – THANKS TO the show. It’s created its own legacy and raised its own bar at the same time. That said – Kristen is one of the greats – of the show – of the scene – of our culture. And she’s from the great state of NY -UPSTATE NY to be exact, where the best people in the USA are from. We have to be smart and funny and tough – it’s 100 F in the summer and -30F in the winter. You need a very good sense of humor and a lot of common sense to survive.

Abby Elliot – I don’t think she has reached her potential – you might see some amazing stuff from her, she’s still young. Like Wiig, she also writes, produces, directs – she is an amazing talent as is her dad and grand-dad. She’s third gen comedy.. got it in her blood. Chris Elliot was the best and funniest write David Letterman has ever had way back in the day or since- his stuff was off the hook. Does anyone remember “man under the seats” on the Letterman show?

It’s so sad to see her go, I absolutely love Junice! We will all miss you Kristen!

TexASS, for someone who is incapable of communicating in complete, properly-spelled sentences, you sure love to shove your self-righteousness around, don’t you, boy? Fuck, I’m sooooo glad to be out of Texass! It’s arrogant assholes like you that give that place its REAL name! Open a book, will ya? Learn to spell and punctuate. It’ll do ya proooouuuuddddd!

I always loved her pretty -and funny- face so much, but her beautiful legs even more. I will miss them.
But if Jason Sudeikis leaves as well, it will be tragic.

She IS the most talented actor on resent years in SNL. She is funny and you just can’t do anything about it!

She was so noticeable because she was just so funny and like honest!
I will miss her, more than Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Adam Samberg and any other stunning SNL cast member…
