In a first, the ‘Saturday Night Live’ cast delivered taped material primarily from their homes, confined by the coronavirus pandemic. The unusual SNLAtHome episode was hosted by Tom Hanks, one of the first celebrities to test positive for the virus.
FILE - This May 10, 2017, file photo shows an NBC logo at their television studios at Rockefeller Center in New York. For the first time in its lengthy history, "Saturday Night Live" on April 11, 2020, held an all-quarantine version, with stars delivering taped material primarily from their homes.
Hanks, in a close-cropped haircut he said was done for a movie, was one of the first celebrities — along with wife Rita Wilson — to test positive for the virus. They recuperated while in Australia. “Don’t worry about me,” he said. “It’s spring in Vermont, so soon it will be up to 40 degrees. And I finally have the time to relax and finish that heart attack from October.”
“Tuesday was National Beer Day,” Jost said. “Which is the first time alcohol had helped me remember what day it is.”“Once Trump starts calling this the Harlem Flu, we ain’t never going to get a cure,” he said.
