Kristen Wiig Says an Emotional Goodbye to ‘SNL’

After seven years of making Saturday Night Live audiences laugh, Kristen Wiig is moving on to more work in feature films (Bridesmaids demonstrated she’s got the chops to deliver laughs on the big screen). Mick Jagger, the host for the 2012 season finale of SNL, helped send off Wiig with a performance of “Ruby Tuesday” in which current and former cast members joined Wiig to dance to the song.

Wiig was moved to tears, as were many of her SNL buddies as she took to the stage in what is all but confirmed to be her last show as a cast member (NBC hasn’t made it official, but this musical good-bye made it obvious she’s not coming back).
