Vanessa Bayer bids 'SNL' farewell in these final hilarious sketches
Watch Next

Vanessa Bayer didn't get a big send-off in her final Saturday Night Live episode. But she did star in nearly every sketch of the night.

In the sketch above, Bayer makes a splash (I'm not sorry) as a weary wife on a Jurassic Park water ride at Universal Studios. In other sketches, she played an ineloquent meteorologist and a hard-to-please woman who is finally satisfied with a diamond-encrusted Cartier fidget spinner.

Bayer joined the SNL cast in 2010 and, until last night, was the longest-serving current female cast member.

"Thank you SNL for 7 years of laughs, love and incredible memories. It has been a dream come true," she wrote in an Instagram post on Saturday.
