With Fred Armisen, Jason Sudeikis and Bill Hader having confirmed their exits from Saturday Night Live after this season, we knew last night's finale was going to be equal parts emotional and HIGHlarious…but boy, did they give both to their viewers HARD or WHAT?!

While there were many great moments during the Ben Affleck-hosted edition of the long-running NBC sketch comedy show, we think everyone can agree that Hader's final performance as the AH-MAY-ZING fan-favorite Stefon REALLY took the cake…especially when what started out as a relatively standard Weekend Update bit (featuring our beloved Amy Poehler!!!) descended in what we can only describe as MADNESS!

Oh, and just WAIT until you see how Anderson Cooper works into it all (above)!

But before we sob ourselves to sleep and forget entirely that Ben Affleck was even there for the night of good-byes, be sure to check out his opening monologue, for which he brings his wife Jennifer Garner on-stage to discuss his 'marriage' comments during his Oscar acceptance speech…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

Ben Affleck is ALL about making the world a better place, so now that he's not living on $1.50 a day, his Eastern Congo Initiative is teaming up with TOMS!

Available in two styles for men and one for women, the limited edition shoe collection features colorful designs inspired by Congolese textiles.

And on top of TOMS' one for one promise, that is for every one pair bought, they'll donate a new pair of shoes to a child, $5 from every pair sold will go to the ECI.

Awesome!

Affleck encouraged everyone to do something, stating:

"Getting involved in something, helping others, improving the fabric of the universe – I believe if you do that, even just a little bit, I think you’ll find your life gets better, too."

Well said, Ben!

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!

This is CRAY!

Tom Hiddleston is one of the many celebrities who took part or are taking part in the Live Below The Line poverty challenge, and while the British actor just completed his challenge last month, which had him living on a $1.50 a day, he's now sharing his experience.

Taking into mind that Hiddleston is openly addicted to caffeine, he admitted in British Harper's Bazaar that he had withdrawals.

The 32-year-old star said:

Jennifer Garner knows that good nutrition starts with a healthy breakfast!

That's why the Alias star decided to take her little girl out for a morning on the town!

Jen and Seraphina Affleck were spotted doing breakfast in Santa Monica on Thursday, no boys allowed! Sorry, Ben Affleck!

After getting their steak and eggs fresh fruit and grains on, the mother/daughter pair went for a lovely morning constitutional.

Seraphina had an extra skip in her step- probably because Mom talked her into skipping the Butter! LOLz!

Ben Affleck may be a millionaire, but that doesn't mean he can't live on a $1.50 a day!

Last month, we announced that the Argo star was getting ready to take part in the Live Below The Line campaign, which focuses on raising awareness of poverty worldwide, and after many thought this was just a celebrity stunt, Affleck explained that he's soooo serious about what he's doing.

The 40-year-old actor took to his blog to reveal:
