It’s the end of an era. Saturday Night Live brings the original era to a close as Buck Henry (naturally) hosts the season finale of Season Five.  Andrew Gold (it’s okay, you can ask “Who?”) and Andrae Crouch with The Voice of Unity are the musical guests.

The show leans into the “will they or won’t they be back” elephant in the room often throughout the episode – from the monologue right up to the goodnights. In between, Buck gives another solid performance as host, we get to say goodbye to some well-loved recurring characters, and are gifted one of the most iconic sketches in the show’s history up to this point.

A lot has been said about SNL during this era – and this season – and it is bittersweet to see it come to an end. We say goodbye to Gilda, Jane, Laraine, Garrett, and Bill (and Lorne), and no one is sure what the future holds for Saturday Night Live. With one last self-referential nod, the show bows out and leaves the audience wondering just what might come next.

A special guest also stops by to help say goodbye to the original era and one of the greatest hosts in SNL history.
