ThereвЂ™s at least a pretty fun charm to the execution of this. An obvious conceit with Mick playing against type in this particular sketch about people imitating Mick JaggerвЂ™s singing style. A pretty fun Mick Jagger imitation from Fred. Well, itвЂ™s certainly nice to see an actual original sketch for once tonight. Mick Jagger karaoke mimicry wows all insurance conventioneers but (host) Too bad they didnвЂ™t attempt to do anything different and special with Grayson to end this final Secret Word installment (before SNL, of course, brings it back in KristenвЂ™s season 42 hosting stint), like they did with Dooneese at the end of the cold opening. Wait, the sketch is already over? Wow, IвЂ™m glad they actually kept this installment fairly short, and we only got one musical number from KristenвЂ™s Grayson. Ugh, cue all of Kristen-as-Mindy-GraysonвЂ™s constant musical numbers. Meh at writers James Anderson & Kent SubletteвЂ™s (or is it just Anderson who writes these sketches?) on-brand decision to have MickвЂ™s character be a вЂњclosetedвЂќ gay actor. Bill seems to be giving his Secret Word game show host character a bit of a sillier tone in these past few Secret Word installments, mainly that goofy laugh that heвЂ™s added. TonightвЂ™s Kristen Wiig Farewell Tour continues with another recurring sketch that I will absolutely not miss seeing on a regular basis anymore. Mindy Grayson & fey tough-guy actor (host) blab the answers A nice bit of a variation of the usual вЂњStick around, weвЂ™ll be right backвЂќ tagline. A lot of charm from Mick Jagger in this nicely simplistic, old-school-feeling monologue.

Host answers questions that he is frequently asked about his career For all of my criticisms of this recurring sketch in general, Dooneese getting her man was actually a nice, fitting way to officially end it (before SNL, of course, fails to resist reviving this sketch in KristenвЂ™s season 38 hosting stint and, for some asinine reason, Paul RuddвЂ™s season 39 hosting stint). And now we get another change of pace, with Dooneese actually getting her man for once. Hmm, DooneeseвЂ™s sisters leave early, before the conclusion of the musical number? ThatвЂ™s actually different.

Jon is at least fun in his performance, though. The woman of the hour, Kristen Wiig, makes her first appearance of the night, to a huge round of applause from the audience. But as soon as I saw Jon Hamm show up as KristenвЂ™s love interest in this cold opening (making this the second consecutive episode heвЂ™s cameod in), I knew for certain that this was indeed KristenвЂ™s final episode.

When this episode originally aired, it wasnвЂ™t publicly confirmed beforehand that this was Kristen and AndyвЂ™s final episode. Ugh, I am so tired of the dumb sexual-related finger jokes this recurring sketch always has FredвЂ™s Lawrence Welk do. TonightвЂ™s Kristen Wiig Farewell Tour begins with the return of this recurring sketch. Segments are rated on a scale of 1-5 starsДooneese pursues Italian singer (Jon Hamm)
