Is ‘SNL’ New Tonight? 9 Things To Watch On Oct. 27
“Saturday Night Live” is not new tonight. The NBC variety show is on hiatus, but there are still plenty of TV options for “SNL” fans.
“SNL Presents: Halloween” (11:30 p.m. EDT, NBC) Check out this compilation of Halloween sketches from “Saturday Night Live.” It’s almost guaranteed to have Tom Hanks’ famous David S. Pumpkins skit.
“The David S. Pumpkins Animated Halloween Special” (12:36 p.m. EDT, NBC) Tom Hanks’ character got his own special last year. The “Forrest Gump” actor leads the voice cast, which also includes Peter Dinklage, Melissa Villaseñor, Cecily Strong, Bobby Moynihan and Mikey Day.
“Forgetting Sarah Marshall” (10:30 p.m. EDT, CMT) This comedy follows Peter (Jason Segel) as he takes a vacation to forget about his famous ex-girlfriend (Kristen Bell). Too bad she’s there with her new beau (Russell Brand). Segel and Brand both hosted separate “Saturday Night Live” episodes in 2011.
“Titanic” (11 p.m. EDT, Pop) You know this drama. Rose (Kate Winslet), a rich girl, meets Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio), a poor artist, while aboard the ill-fated ship and their epic love story commences. Kate Winslet hosted “SNL” in 2004.
“Toy Story of Terror!” (11:25 p.m., Freeform) The toys start disappearing while staying at a creepy roadside motel. David S. Pumpkins himself, also known as Tom Hanks, voices Woody in this short. Also, former “SNL” cast member Joan Cusack voices Jessie, and current cast member Kate McKinnon voices PEZ Cat. Mr. Potato Head voice Don Rickles once hosted in 1984 as well.
“Stephen King’s It” (11:40 p.m. EDT, TNT) For those in the mood for horror, the 1990 adaptation of Pennywise the Clown’s story will air until 4 a.m. Tim Curry, who hosted “SNL” in 1981, plays the famous clown.
“It” (10 p.m. EDT, HBO2) Or, if you have premium cable, you can watch the 2017 retelling of the tale, which is still set in 1989 Maine.
“Baby Driver” (11:30 p.m. EDT, Showtime) This music-fueled heist movie follows a getaway driver played by Ansel Elgort, but it’s his co-star Jon Hamm who has the “Saturday Night Live” connection. He has hosted three times, and he’s made even more cameos.
“ParaNorman” (11:55 p.m., Freeform) A misfit kid takes on the curse that’s plaguing his town in this animated film. The family-friendly flick includes former “SNL” hosts Anna Kendrick (2014) and Casey Affleck (2016).
