Saturday Night Live's milestone 50th season came to a rather abrupt end.

At the conclusion of Saturday's SNL season finale, Scarlett Johansson and the cast came out for the traditional "goodnights," where the host says their thanks ahead of the closing credits. This week, Johansson got a bouquet of roses and a kiss from her SNL husband Colin Jost — awww! — and sported a Wayne's World T-shirt as she thanked musical guest Bad Bunny and guest star Mike Myers.

She went on to congratulate "the incredible cast and crew for these 50 years" and SNL creator Lorne Michaels, "wherever you are. You're not gonna want me to single you out, but congratulations. You are a singular man. We love you." But just then, the NBC feed cut to commercial (for the cancelled Suits LA, no less), and the episode — and the SNL season — was over. (To be fair, it was two minutes past 1 am on the East Coast, when SNL typically ends.)

SNL's social media channels, though, came through and posted the full, unedited goodnights, and it turns out we didn't miss much: Johansson only said "Thank you! Thank you so much!" and blew kisses before the saxophone kicked in and the SNL credits rolled. (Fans were expecting a possible announcement of who might be leaving the SNL cast, but no announcement was made, and the cast didn't seem overly emotional as they said their goodbyes during the credits.)

Watch the goodnights in full below, and give this week's SNL a grade in our poll.
