SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE Says Goodbye to Cecily Strong with ‘Blue Christmas’ Tribute

Cecily Strong exited SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE on Saturday, December 17—news which was announced hours before her final episode—closing out her tenure on the show with a very special version of “Blue Christmas.”

Though other bits in the episode acknowledged she was leaving (notably her Weekend Update bit as Cathy Anne, where she joked she was going to prison), the final sketch of the night, about Radio Shack employee Cecily’s final day at work broke the fourth wall, complete with host Austin Butler kicking off a rendition of “Blue Christmas.” He and Strong were joined by Kenan Thompson (who was noticeably emotional while paying homage to Strong at the start of the sketch) and many members of the cast.
