      Logan Nicklaus Rolling Stone But most important were the cameras capturing the end of another era through the tears in the eyes of a cast that so clearly loved the time shared both backstage and onstage with Bill Hader and Fred Armisen. Sep 17, 2018 Full Review David Sims AV Club This is the second year in a row that SNL has had major goodbyes to address in its season finale (Kristen Wiig last time, Bill Hader and Fred Armisen here) and it's the second year in a row they've absolutely nailed it. Sep 13, 2018 Full Review Dennis Perkins AV Club Unfortunately, energy at the service of indifferent writing starts to look desperate, and much of the show that followed was a letdown, with Vaughn seeming to lose interest as things ground on.
