We've been wrestling with what to title our Saturday Night Live coverage during the summer off-season – and we think we've settled on the winner because it pretty much cuts to the chase: SNL Separation Anxiety. With the original show most likely not returning for Season 52 until October, and SNL UK already set to return for its second season in September, we're going to be offering a weekly weekend look at what SNL and SNL UK have been up to over the next few months. For this go-around, we're cleaning up SNL 51 with a look at a pair of extra finale musical performances, a bloopers highlight reel, two more "Cut for Time" sketches, and more. Here's a look:

We've been big fans of the "SNL 360" series of looks that the long-running sketch comedy series has been releasing over the past several seasons, but this one is special. Being able to see the audience's reactions to "Weekend Update" anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che's "Joke Swap" made the entire segment that much more twisted:
In the first of two "Cut for Time" sketches, a dad (Ashley Padilla) gets into an argument with his son (Ferrell) in front of his boss (Tommy Brennan). In the second sketch, Sarah Sherman stops by "Weekend Update" to share her thoughts on how Season 51 went – and before you ask? Yup, both sketches would've been perfect fits with the finale.
