SNL Audience Moved To Tears By Soulful, End-Of-Episode Piano Music

NEW YORK–The 296 members of the Saturday Night Live studio audience were moved to tears in the show’s closing minutes Saturday by soulful, sentimental piano music. “After 90 minutes of live sketch comedy from the likes of Ana Gasteyer and Tim Meadows, that piano music set just the right mood of reflection and closure,” audience member Liz Nokes said. “Without words, it conveyed just how much we’d been through together and captured the bittersweet feeling that comes from knowing that the good times and laughter have come to a close until next week.” The teary-eyed audience swayed along with the cast, guest host Joshua Jackson, and musical guest ’N Sync, smiling wistfully and waving as they bid farewell to yet another successful episode.
