“This is my last shift,” Bowen Yang announced last night on the same Saturday Night Live stage he graced for over seven seasons. He was dressed up as “Ed,” a Delta Sky Club employee serving eggnog to airport guests on Christmas Eve for one final time before retiring. And it turned out there were a lot of similarities between the beverage cart business and the world of sketch comedy.

“I’m going to miss everything about this place: the way it smells, the celebrities that would come through,” he continued in character. “Just last week Josh O’Connor was here!”

As the customers cleared out, he picked up the phone to hear Ariana Grande as “Ronda” on the other end. “I’m so proud of you,” she said. “All the eggnog you’ve made over the years. Some of it was great, some of it was rotten—“

“And a lot of it got cut,” Yang finished to a crowd of laughter. “But I kind of think eggnog is like me. It’s not for everyone, but people who like it are my kind of people.”

“I just feel so lucky that I ever got to work here,” he added later on in the sketch, fighting back tears as he expressed his gratitude for the people at SNL Delta. “I’ve loved every single person who works here because they’ve done so much for me, especially my boss… Any success I have after this will be thanks to this place.”

The “CEO of Eggnog at Delta” turned out to be this week’s musical guest, the one and only Cher. The star joined Yang and Grande on stage for the emotional moment, giving her “employee” some final feedback: “Everyone thought you were a little bit too gay, but you know what? You’re perfect for me.”

Crying, Yang said his final goodbye: “This place will always be home, but it’s time to go.”

The comedian reflected these sentiments with an Instagram post, explaining that what he loved most of all about working at SNL was getting to work with the people. “I was there at a time when many things in the world started to seem futile, but working at 30 Rock taught me the value in showing up anyway when people make it worthwhile,” he shared. “I’m grateful for every minute of my time there. I learned about myself (bad with wigs). I learned about others (generous, vulnerable, hot). I learned that human error can be nothing but correct. I learned that comedy is mostly logistics and that it will usually fail until it doesn’t, which is the besssst.”
