The Best Of Saturday Night Live With Kristen Wiig

Last week's Saturday Night Live was one of those rare gems that reminds you how great the show can be at its very best. But shining moments like that are hard acts to follow, and even guest host — and SNL alum — Kristen Wiig couldn't live up to the ultra-high expectations.

With that said, she was still damn funny. After all, she's Kristen Wiig. Funny is what she does. And there were a few sketches that were very well done. The first that comes to mind is the smart Anderson Cooper 360 sketch (which sadly, isn't available online just yet) that suddenly transforms into a Westworld moment.

Wiig also brought some of your favorite characters from her stint on the show, including Mindy Elise Grayson from "The Secret Word" game show. Plus, there were guest cameos galore (hello Steve Martin, Jason Sudeikis and Will Forte). And let's not forget the frighteningly accurate Target commercial; it's what we're doing for Thanskgiving 2016.

Click ahead for a roundup of some of the best moments from last night's Saturday Night Live.

Donald Trump Is Back

Last week, SNL decided to give America a break from Donald Trump. This week, Saturday Night Live brought Alec Baldwin back to play The Donald. The sketch is pure gold for several reasons: A Jason Sudeikis cameo, Kate McKinnon as a regretful Kellyanne Conway, and the most awkward conversation with Mike Pence ever.

The Target Commercial

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, this could be the first awkward encounter for many families with mixed political views. Well, don't worry about those uncomfortable conversations with aunts and uncles at the dinner table — because Target is here for you. The best part? When Cecily Strong finds a flask in some Play-Doh. Stay strong girl.

Whiskers R We

Here's something unsurprising: One of the best sketches of the night starred Kristen Wiig and Kate McKinnon. The two play lovers who run a cat shop called Whisker R We. It's ridiculous, awkward, and everything you want in a sketch with two women who play ridiculously awkward people so well. The best moment? When Kristen Wiig almost breaks Kate McKinnon when she squeezes her nipple.

The Bubble

The election is over and everyone is divided. So divided that they want to live their lives without interacting with the rest of America. SNL has the answer: The Bubble. You can live in a fully functioning city-state that closes you off from the rest of the country.

Surprise Lady

Kristen Wiig shines when she gets to play awkward people who turn normal situations into the most uncomfortable situations— and that's exactly what happened here. Say hello to Sue, a woman home for Thanksgiving who is unable to hide her extreme excitement about a surprise for her mother. Like, she eats a pillow to stop herself from spoiling the surprise. Like, she jumps out a window. Even Leslie Jones couldn't stop herself from laughing.
