What’s with the tears? Oh yeah, that’s the reaction to Kristen Wiig’s final episode of SNL last night, in which Mick Jagger got to wish her away, before everyone and their mother came out to say farewell. Even Chris Kattan was there! The video can be seen here and tissues aren’t included.
While it seems as though Saturday Night Live is losing some of their heavy hitters (and going into the dreaded lull of a rebuilding year), that didn’t stop them from putting together a celebratory milestone clip for their 100th Digital Short, which features the likes of Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake, Natalie Portman, and Jon Hamm. If this is going to be Andy Samberg’s last hurrah, at least he’s going out with a bang.

Ice Cream Flavor of the Day: Ben and Jerry’s may come out with a “Schweddy Balls” ice cream flavor, based on the classic Saturday Night Live skit about an unfortunately-named dessert.
Former SNL cast member (and Schweddy Ball eater) Ana Gasteyer revealed the news to NY1, and a Ben and Jerry’s rep slyly refused to confirm, saying that “we like all of our new flavors to have an element of surprise.”
The Schweddy surprise will reportedly pop out in September and hang around through Christmas. Mmmm.
Saturday Night Live Spinoff of the Day: Japan recently premiered its own edition of the long-running American sketch show Saturday Night Live.
SNL JPN‘s live format is mostly unfamiliar to a country where most variety shows are heavily edited. The show will air once a month, and feature “the heavy influence of Japanese Konto style slap-stick comedy.” My favorite!
