He’s baaaaack! During Saturday Night Live‘s season finale this weekend, the sketch comedy show brought back one of their fan favorite break out characters from this season, David S. Pumpkins!
David S. Pumpkins previously appeared on SNL during a Halloween special episode. The character is played by Tom Hanks who just so happened to be on set in order to be announced as running mate for Dwayne Johnson’s 2020 presidential bid.
This time, however, Hanks portrayed the role as David S. Pimpkins (Yes, we said PIMPkins. That’s not a typo) during a sketch about one of many artists being featured on a hip-hop collaboration track.

Other “artists” featured in the sketch included Prinsexxxy (Leslie Jones), Sno’Cone (Mikey Day), King Keef (Dwayne Johnson), Lil’ Nitwit (Alex Moffat), Skiffle (Bobby Moynihan), Katy Perry (Katy Perry) and more.
David S. Pimpkins, however, received the loudest applause and reaction from the studio audience by far. Check out the full video of the Rap Song Sketch below and, keep an eye out for David S. Pimpkins towards the end of the clip!
