Fans are already preparing themselves to be disappointed when Serial releases its final episode tomorrow, a fact that Funny or Die has captured masterfully in its new parody.

In "The Last Episode of Serial," versatile comedian and SNL alumna Michaela Watkins puts herself in Koenig's shoes as the tremendously popular podcast prepares to come to a close. The host faces not only her own doubt about who killed Hae Min Lee in the real-life murder mystery, but also the pressure from listeners and sponsors (like MailCrimp…MailKimp?) who want the show to end on a satisfying note.
