David S. Pumpkins Returned To ‘SNL’ And We Have Questions

When it comes to “Saturday Night Live” characters, David S. Pumpkins is one of the most bizarre and the most beloved in recent history. 

Played by Tom Hanks, the character ― a man in a pumpkin-print suit accompanied by two dancing skeletons ― was introduced to audiences when Hanks hosted “SNL” in October 2016. 

If you had any questions left unanswered, the return of Hanks as David S. Pumpkins or rather “David S. Pimpkins” in this case, you are unlikely to find them in this weekend’s “Rap Song,” which is a parody of overstuffed hip-hop collaborations.

Actually, we want to know what happened to Pumpkins’ two dancing skeletons.

Backpack Kid Upstaged Katy Perry On ‘SNL’ And Mesmerized The Internet

It takes a lot to upstage Katy Perry, but Backpack Kid managed to do it.

Perry, who channeled Beetlejuice in a black and white striped coat, performed “Swish Swish” ― which is thought to be a Taylor Swift diss track ― on the season finale of “Saturday Night Live” this weekend.

The pop star was flanked by drag queens on both sides of a runway, before she moved aside to let them do their thing. Then a star was born: 

Backpack Kid, as the people of Twitter dubbed him, stepped onto the runway and mesmerized the world with his backpack and the way he moved. (For the record, Backpack Kid’s real name is Russell Horning, he’s 15, and he’s on Instagram.)

People were delighted. They were in awe. They were confused. They had questions. They knew he stole the show.  

Will we see more of Backpack Kid? Time will tell.
