It was pretty much a given after Kristen Wiig received an Academy Award nomination for co-writing the comedy juggernaut Bridesmaids that she would wind down her seven-year run on Saturday Night Live this May. It wasn’t a given that they would bid her goodbye so very sweetly.

I am so not the demographic for Jason Timberlake or Lady Gaga, but I laughed my butt off at their tag-team approach to the (36th!) season finale of SNL Saturday night. They’re both so game for anything, and to watch them unhinge together was a treat.
When I heard that Miley Cyrus was hosting SNL, I thought to myself, no good could come of this. But who knew I would be pleasantly surprised at this episode? It’s not that she was that great, but most of the skits and mini-films were hilarious! Talk about a gold mine this week with all the celebrity “melt downs.” And SNL did not disappoint with the opening sketch: A Charlie Sheen talk show! Winning! They put all the idiots in the news on it and it worked (Christina, John Galliano, Gadhafi). Miley even was Lindsay Lohan and was not bad. One thing I will say, as great as Bill Haber is, I still think Jimmy Fallon’s imitation of Charlie Sheen is priceless! (If you didn’t see it, click here.)
