Will Ferrell and SNL's cast performs Billy Joel's "Goodnight Saigon"
> Posted by Kathy Bushouse on May 19, 2009 10:07 AM

This was my favorite sketch from the season finale of Saturday Night Live. It was bizarre, filled with random cameos, yet oddly touching.

For those of you who aren't Billy Joel fans, Will Ferrell's interpretation of "Goodnight Saigon" is pretty true to the original. I cracked up, though my husband (not a Billy Joel fan) didn't get it at first.

This was a great way to cap a pretty inconsistent season, though my favorite bit of the year remains the Pepper Sketch. More Bobby Moynihan!
