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!!!

Okay, not really better…but this is better.

Country star Brad Paisley and actor/hip-hop icon LL Cool J recently released a controversial tune called Accidental Racist…

And even though both duet partners have attempted to defend the track on various promotional appearances, it wasn't until they visited the Weekend Update stage during this past weekend's Saturday Night Live that they really got into the MEAT of the song.

Ch-ch-check out Brad and LL attempting to explain the many clever subtleties of Accidental Racist to Seth Meyers (above)!

LOLz!!

Ok obvi that isn't REALLY the song's original crafters, but rather the always AWEsome Jason Sudeikis and Keenan Thompson impersonating the musical duo.

HIGHlarious!

Can we all just agree that Melissa McCarthy needs to be instated as the PERMANENT host of Saturday Night Live?!

Seriously!

When it comes to the HIGHlarious Identity Thief star, there is truly NO SUCH THING as "too much of a good thing!"

Take, for example, what is easily the best opening monologue we've had all season, which features the comedienne attempting to keep up with Taran Killam as they sing and dance along to Springtime in New York…even though she can't walk AT ALL in high heels that would be better suited for the likes of Courtney Stodden!

Ch-ch-check it out (above), as well as even MORE HIGHlarity in sketches where she played an abusive Division III women's basketball coach, a contestant on The Voice's new season, a dating advice video actor, and a SERIOUS lover of pizza…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

P.S. There's even an AH-MAY-ZING cameo from Game of Thrones' Peter Dinklage during the weekend update!

Jeremy Renner may be uncertain about the future of his Avengers character in upcoming Marvel flicks, but last night during his hosting stint on Saturday Night Live, he got to the opportunity to resurrect Hawkeye…with HIGHlarious results!

Ch-ch-check out the sketch comedy show's take on the super-friends blockbuster (above)!

Oh MAN!

Not only are we excited to see the actor showing off his SEKSI guns in that HAWT leather get-up once again, we're glad to see there were others who were equally as initerested in what would happen if he ran out of arrows!

Seriously! It's not like they come in ENDLESS supply!

LOLz!

But while it was mainly Jeremy's night, we also think it's important to give some props to New Jersey governor Chris Christie, who made a surprisingly LOLz-worth appearance during Weekend Update, which you can watch…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

CUTEST THING EVER!!!

THE Big Bird flew all the way from Sesame Street to appear on Saturday Night Live to comment on Mitt Romney's shout out during the his debate against Obama last week.

Ch-ch-check out the Street's tallest resident on Weekend Update (above)!

The only question is… will Elmo respond to Obama's warning next week???

Seth MacFarlane recently hosted SNL and he was hilarious as always.

He appeared on the Weekend Update segment as Ryan Lochte.

He did a HIGHlarious impression, but one person didn't find it funny… Ryan Lochte!

Lochte said:

"Well I gotta admit that was a pretty harsh one, but it’s cool to have Seth parody me. I think he pegged me wrong, but when I heard he did a skit I knew I was in for it! It’s all in fun and of course if I’m talked about on SNL I know they are gonna get me 'Go-od.' I give Seth 2 swims!"

Ha! He quoted the fake him!

We're glad he's such a good sport about it.

Check out the video (above) to see MacFarlane's HIGHlarious impression.
