Cecily Strong wrapped up her final episode after spending 11 seasons with the late-night NBC sketch show.
Strong then broke character in meta fashion to sum up her time on"SNL":"It's just my time now but I had a lot of fun here. And I feel really lucky that I got to have so many of the best moments of my life at this place, with these people I love so much."
In the last sketch of the night, set at a Radio Shack Christmas party, Kenan Thompson paid tribute to his fellow cast member."Honestly I don't think Radio Shack could have survived this long without Cecily," he said."Every time she came to work, she had a new character or a new accent or a new impression that would just blow you away. She'd have a power and a joy to her performance that made you remember why you loved working at Radio Shack in the first place.
