Tom Hanks hit Saturday Night Live fans with a wave of nostalgia during his latest surprise guest appearance.
The Forrest Gump star returned to the SNL stage on 29 October taking part in multiple sketches.
For his last skit of the night, he brought back the fan-favourite character David S Pumpkins, which he first portrayed on the show in 2016.
Alongside SNL alum David Moynihan who donned a skeleton onesie with face paint and a white wig, Hanks wore his recognisable pumpkin suit and black permed wig.
“I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed seeing the return of David S Pumpkins and his skeleton friends,” one fan tweeted.
Another responded: “I talked a lot of s*** about #SNL this week, but this episode was fun. Cecily Strong, Jeff Probst, drunk uncle, and, of course, David S Pumpkins’ revival. Happy Halloween.”
“DAVID S PUMPKINS IS BACK AND HE’S GIVING ME LIIIIFFFFFFEEEEEE,” a third wrote excitedly.
Hanks has appeared on SNL numerous times, making his debut cameo in 1985.
This evening, Jack Harlow was welcomed as the comedy sketch show’s host and musical guest. He appeared during multiple sketches stunning viewers with his unrecognisable appearance.
Later, he performed “Lil Secrets” and “First Class” off of his latest album, Come Home the Kids Miss You.
Earlier this week, it was announced on Twitter that comedian and actor Amy Schumer would be returning to host the show, joined by “Bad Habit” singer Steve Lacy as the evening’s musical guest on 5 November.
Saturday Night Live airs on NBC at 11:30pm ET and 8:30pm PT on Saturdays and streams on Peacock the following day.
