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!!!

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:

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:

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are great at being movie stars, but we think they missed their calling.

They should have been cheerleaders!

The famous couple were spotted cheering on their daughters Seraphina and Violet at their running event in the Pacific Palisades on Sunday.

Ch-ch-check out the pics (below) to see how proud the parents were of their athletic girls- and of each other apparently!

Hey! Did we just see a little hand-on-butt action?! Keep it in your pants, Jen! There are kids around! LOLz!

STOP WHATEVER IT IS YOU’RE DOING! We have some VERY exciting news!

Kristen Wiig is coming back to Saturday Night Live!! Well, sort of.

The HIGHlarious actress will be returning to studio 8H to host SNL on May 11th, and it will be her first appearance since she left the show at the end of last season! Needless to say we’re SUPER stoked!

We were a little disappointed that Kristen didn’t make a surprise appearance when her good friend Melissa McCarthy hosted earlier this month, but we knew she couldn’t stay away for long!

And as if the news wasn’t exciting enough, the musical guest will be Vampire Weekend!!

But wait, there’s more!

It has also been announced that Ben Affleck will be hosting the very next weekend with Kanye West, and with Zach Galifianakis taking over on May 4th with of Monsters and Men, it’s looking like it’s gonna be a GREAT month for SNL!

But lets be real here. Kristen is DEFINITELY the one we’re most excited to see back in action! Hopefully we’ll get to see a little bit of Gilly, the Target Lady, or maybe even a Bjork impression!

What about U? Which characters are U hoping Kristen will bring back?
