Tom Hanks brought David S. Pumpkins back to Saturday Night Live, but the Halloween spotlight didn’t stay on him for long. According to Deadline, the show’s opener pivoted when James Austin Johnson appeared as Donald Trump, interrupting the seasonal comedy with a plea to supporters about the midterm elections.
Johnson’s Trump warned of poor polling and urged his audience to help avert an electoral defeat. The interruption shifted the sketch from Hanks’ Halloween character to political satire, making the prospect of a midterm loss the impersonation’s source of fright.
