As much as we haven't processed having to say goodbye to both SNL and SNL UK this weekend, that's the reality that we face. For this go-around, we're getting a chance to check out SNL Season 51 finale host (and SNL icon) Will Ferrell (who will be joined by musical guest Paul McCartney) and the SNL team as they work on putting this weekend's season wrap-up together.
Here's a look at Ferrell and the SNL cast during Wednesday night's read-thru (though "table read" sounds much better):
Earlier today, we checked out what Ferrell was up to with his midweek sketch. In the video below, SNL stars Chloe Fineman and Sarah Sherman share with Ferrell how excited they are to have him back for the season ender. For Ferrell, returning to the long-running series is always an emotional journey that… keeps getting distracted by whatever Andrew Dismukes is doing on stage! What is Dismukes up to? Is it even Dismukes? No spoilers… but Ferrell's last line really sells it.
