Ben Affleck hosted and hit the famous Five Timers Club. However, nobody from the club showed up for him as they did for Justin Timberlake several weeks back.
That's ok because I'd say most of the attention was on the castmembers who are leaving or might be leaving.
**SPOILERS***
Bill Hader got his final appearance as Stefon on Weekend Update. Stefon didn't think Seth Myers respected him so he ran off to get married (to Anderson Cooper) but Seth ran off to find him and stopped the wedding and brought Stefon back to the studio for the Update goodbye. We also got a surprise appearance from Amy Poehler and they gave us a "Really! With Seth and Amy".
Fred Armisen and Jason Sudeikis have been mentioned as possibly leaving after the season. If the final sketch is any indication, I think they've made up their minds. Bill, Fred, and Jason all played band members who were leaving to go on tour and they were saying goodbye. Naturally, I can't think of the song Fred sang but it was pretty obvious, to me anyway, that they were saying goodbye to everyone and the show. Several musicians joined them as the sketch went on including actress Kerry Brownstein who is Fred's business partner. This was their goodbye just as Kristin Wiig got one last year with all the castmembers dancing with her.
During the final cast goodbye, Bill and Fred were front and center waving goodbye but did anyone notice Jason was nowhere to be seen, just like last year when he floated into the back of the scene after his dance with Kristin.
Seth Myers will also eventually be leaving as he takes over Late Night next spring but I THINK, although I could be wrong, that he might still be back in the fall and stick around for a few months.
