Wiig had a touching exit from "Saturday Night Live" after seven years,
dancing with Lorne Michaels and fellow male cast members. PLUS: Andy
Samberg says farewell (apparently) with "Lazy Sunday 2."

Who is Kristen Wiig's "SNL" successor, Bill Hader or Taran Killam?:

Throughout the season, it felt like the baton was being passed from
Wiig to Hader

Kristen Wiig's exit leaves "SNL" with a gaping hole in its female
talent:

Abby Elliott, 24, is now the senior-most female cast member. But as
Mary Elizabeth Williams notes, "she's yet to display that versatility
or command the clout that Wiig has."

Who were those people on the stage at the end? I recognized Chris
Kattan, Steve Martin, Amy Pohler, and Rachel Dratch. But was that tall
blonde woman (swoon thud) Kim Catrall? If so, what connection did she
have to the show?

The tall blonde is a new supporting player.
