It seemed like the only way to cap Saturday Night Live's excellent milestone 40th season was to bring in Louis C.K. for a third-straight season, and what's probably his most memorable appearance on the show yet. 

C.K. wasted zero time before busting out the uncomfortable laughs with a monologue that came straight out of the gate with the declaration "I do have mild racism" and ended with an elaborate joke about child molestation. Yes, that happened, and at least based on the studio audience, it killed. 

Judge for yourself. Here's everything you need to see from the shows 40th season finale:

'70s MONOLOGUE

1.

When you have the greatest stand-up working today as your host, there's only one thing to do with the monologue: let the man do stand-up, and Louie pushes this one right to the edge of network TV limits. 

SPRINT STORE

2.

Leslie Jones catches a new employee doing an impression of her, and he's forced to keep up the front that that's just how he talks, for five years.  And the uncomfortable laughs are apparently going to continue for the whole episode. 

POLICE LINE UP

3.

What happens when you bring in professional actors to participate in a police lineup? They congratulate each other, a lot. 

 

WEEKEND UPDATE: TOM BRADY

4.

Tom Brady goes on a Tom Brady charm offensive to get out of that four-game suspension next season as Michael Che asks "the hard questions."
