The ‘This Is Us’ finale offered a cathartic release on a terrible, sad day.

Today is an impossibly hard day, and it feels frivolous to talk about TV right now. I wrote down my thoughts about yesterday’s horrible shooting over here if you want to read another version of what I’ve said over and over again for the past ten years.

But this is a TV blog, so we will try to distract ourselves from the pain all of us are feeling this terrible day with meaningless entertainment news.

Fortunately, she hosted one of the best episodes of the season. Unfortunately, it was the final episode for four now-legendary cast members: Kyle Mooney; Aidy Bryant; Pete Davidson; and the great Kate McKinnon, who, along with Kennan Thompson, has been carrying this show on her back for ten years now, and that will be what this episode is remembered for.
