Watch Vanessa Bayer and Bobby Moynihan say goodbye to SNL on 'Weekend Update'

Saturday Night Live veterans Vanessa Bayer and Bobby Moynihan ended their SNL runs after seven and nine seasons, respectively, in the 42nd season finale. Both players appeared in nearly every skit of the evening, and each took a final bow in recurring "Weekend Update" roles.

For Bayer, that meant a second appearance of her new character, perpetually unintelligible weather reporter Dawn Lazarus, while Moynihan's Drunk Uncle was in fine form. With President Trump in office, he raves, "finally, a white guy has a chance to make it in America again. Because Trumpy, that little Trumpy, he's putting America back to worm again." Also, "Ghostbusters should be men."
