NBC aired the season finale of SNL last night. It was Kate’s last episode as a cast member, so it was incredibly bittersweet! The show started with a Close Encounter cold open, with Kate playing Ms. Rafferty and saying ‘Live from New York‘ one last time. She also appeared in the following sketches: After High School, Women’s Commercial (Kate and Aidy’s last sketch together), and the cut for time sketch Forgot About Lorne ft. Eminem. You can check out photos in the gallery and watch the videos below. Let us know what you thought about Kate’s final episode in the comments!

There will never be another Kate. Her weirdness lifts us. And yet, Kate has a way of breaking our hearts. Her tenderness and passion can always be felt. It’s hard to believe she will no longer be on SNL. Kate, you make us all want to be aliens with you. You will be missed on SNL❤️
