The popular actor actually joined SNL’s elusive “Five Timers Club” back in 1990 and has appeared on the late night sketch comedy series many times since then.
He also allegedly originated the official club idea for the late night series, according to Lorne Michaels.
While one of the reasons Tom Hanks was asked to do this likely has to do with coronavirus, another may have to do with the fact that Tom Hanks is a longtime friend of Saturday Night Live.
He’s originated iconic characters like David S. Pumpkins during his time on the show.
