Paul Rudd is formally inducted into Saturday Night Live’s Five-Timers club by members Tom Hanks and Tina Fey.


Tom Hanks and Tina Fey Rescue SNL's COVID-Stricken 2021 Finale

The show reportedly suffered a COVID outbreak prior to showtime, leading to a stripped-down show made up of previously-recorded sketches.

1. I didn't see it. Did Tina do a Boebert sketch by any chance? She'd be perfect.

2. No, since it was last minute, the live segments were mostly improvised

Tina and Tom Hanks showed up to support the scheduled host, Paul Rudd. And the only other cast members there were Michael Che and Kenan Thompson. Other than the live Opening and Weekend Update, they showed videos of Christmas sketches from past years - some were from a long time ago.

Just posted this one, since you asked.

4. Pandemics last a long time...

And things will continue to change in ways we hadn't expected.

5. Kind of has the feel of a Comedy Club . . . . .

6. It wasn't funny

I finally changed the channel. SNL need some new writers. It just isn't funny. And it's time for Keenan Thompson to find another gig.
