Last night's season finale of SNL was a huge deal.

'The Internship' star Vince Vaughn's recent 'SNL' hosting gig might have been a mixed bag of cobras, Vaughn not having hosted the late-night sketch comedy series in about 15 years, but the newest host revealed during the airing is more than enough to have us excited.
