Say whaaaat!??

As we confirmed earlier, this past Saturday's Saturday Night Live was the end of an era for both Fred Armisen and Bill Hader. The two said their final farewells on the AH-mazing season finale.

There had been some speculation that Jason Sudeikis might leave as well, but was this all just a part of the rumor mill — until now!

Jay Pharoah, the HIGHlarious Will Smith and Obama impersonator, tweeted the following on Sunday before hastily deleting it:

WOW.

With all of the emotional cast exits and surprise guest appearances on last night's season finale of Saturday Night Live, it would be easy to forget that Kanye West was performing at all!

But HOT DAMN, did our boy Yeezy make his presence KNOWN or WHAT?!

Actually, excuse us: we should now actually be referring to him as YEEZUS, as that it's been announced that this the name of the rapper's upcoming album, due out June 18th!

And for all the rumors about his new music being especially dark, gritty and aggressive, look no further for confirmation!

You can check out the previously-unheard Black Skinhead (above) as well as New Slaves, which he released by projecting the track on the side of 66 buildings in 10 cities worldwide…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

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!!!

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:
