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:

Kanye West is PISSED…

And no, it's not because of those SCANDALOUS rumors about his alleged affair with designer Riccardo Tisci, but because he is SICK of the paparazzi following him around, trying to take his picture (and causing him to hurt his poor head).

But wait, isn't that just one of the few downsides of being rich and famous on a global level?!

Well, during a SURPRISE show at the Adult Swim Upfronts Wednesday night, 'Ye made it CLEAR that he is NOT a "mother f*cking celebrity" and that he is just a humble music maker who wants to inspire the world to be better.

Haha YUP!

The anti-papz, anti-celeb rant came after 'Ye performed two new tracks off of his upcoming "dark" album from within a visually striking holographic pyramid.

His pregnant lover Kim Kardashian didn't seem to mind the words tumbling out of Kanye's mouth as she tweeted:

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!

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)!
