Live from New York, it's… an empty stage!?

Just days after NBC promoted Seth Meyers from a part-time gig on Saturday nights to the full-time Monday thru Friday job of hosting Late Night in 2014, more troubling news is emerging from Studio 8H!

According to sources at the NY Post, Fred Armisen, a.k.a — Boy George in this charming clip — is saying sayonara after this weekend's finale!

In addition, the same source says there's a good chance Jason Sudeikis will quit Saturday Night Live, too!!

While SNL fans are still recovering from the news of Bill Hader’s departure, it should come as some relief to know that there’s still one more episode prolonging that looming goodbye.

This weekend’s season finale — and Bill’s final episode — welcomes back Ben Affleck as celebrity host, as well as Kanye West as musical guest. And if the show is anything like the promo, we’re in for some serious laughs!

Ch-ch-check out Bill simultaneously praise and insult Ben’s work on Argo while Ben does his best impression of Bill (above)!!

It’s HIGHlarious!!!

Ever since we heard the news that Bill Hader was leaving SNL, we've been weeping human tears and kicking over human fire hydrants while packing our human suitcases to fly away on our human paper airplanes.

We're going to miss so many great characters, but especially, Stefon, who is one of the best things to come out of SNL. (And, let's not forget Seth Meyers, who is the perfect straight man.)

What makes him so charming and HIGHlarious is the fact that Bill can never keep a straight face… Especially, since it turns out, that many of the writers throw in the most wild lines last minute so Bill reads them for the first time on air.

And yes, we're looking at you, raisins that look like Frasier and Jewish Dracula, Sidney Applebaum. LOLz!

So, look no further, this place has everything! We've narrowed down the five HOTTEST Stefon moments from our favorite party monster!

Noooooooooo!!!! How can it be?!

Bill Hader will be gracing the Saturday Night Live stage this weekend for the last time!

The HIGHlarious comedian confirmed his departure from the show and explained:

You're hired!

Seth Meyers is following in another former Saturday Night Live cast member's footsteps…and they're good footsteps to follow in!

SNL is going to have to look high and low for another head writer and Weekend Update anchor because Seth is moving onto Late Night!

While Jimmy Fallon is taking over for Jay Leno next year, Seth will leave Saturday nights for 12:35am Monday-Friday.

NBC entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt confirmed the hiring as he said:

She came baaaack!

We've missed Kristen Wiig oh-so much every Saturday night since she left us, but finally…FINALLY, we've gotten her back!

And she killed it!!

Kristen did her fans right by bringing back some of her most AH-Mazing characters from when she was a regular cast member on Saturday Night Live.

Seriously, we got the Target lady!! Ridic!

Oooh, we can't express how happy we were to get a total overload of the funny lady on SNL again.

Our sides still hurt from last night!

Ch-ch-check out her return (above)!

Kim Kardashian has been the butt of a lot of jokes lately. But apparently baby daddy Kanye West is not down with that.

The rapper, who will be performing on SNL on the 18th, reportedly only agreed to join the show for the night IF the writers and cast refrained from cracking pregnant Kim jokes.

The show’s creator Lorne Michaels allegedly kept rejecting Kimye scripts so he could book Kanye as a musical guest!
