NEW YORK, May 22 (UPI) -- Former Saturday Night Live cast members Fred Armisen, Jason Sudeikis, Maya Rudolph and Andy Samberg appeared on the Season 41 finale of the sketch-comedy series this weekend.

Armisen guest-hosted the episode and played Sudeikis' insufferable, instantly orgasmic girlfriend in one skit, while Maya Rudolph showed up in the "Weekend Update" segment as Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff.

Samberg and current SNL player Vanessa Bayer starred in a digital music video for a raunchy, expletive-filled, pop song called "Finest Girl," which featured Samberg as recording artist Conner 4 Real and Bayer as a young woman obsessed and sexually aroused by the killing of terror leader Osama Bin Laden.

Another highlight of the season's last episode was a spot-on parody of the classic 1989 movie Dead Poets Society, with Armisen replacing the late Robin Williams as an inspirational teacher whose teen students protest his unjust firing by standing on their desks. The sketch had a twist, though, and as Pete Davidson climbs up, he is hit by a ceiling fan, which decapitates him and sprays his blood all over the classroom.
