Tom Hanks Hosts SNLatHome After Positive Coronavirus Diagnosis: 'My Wife and I Are Doing Great'
“Now I was diagnosed back in March with the coronavirus. I was first diagnosed down in Australia. Now the folks in Australia are fantastic in every way but they use Celsius instead of Fahrenheit when they take your temperature,” he said. “So, when they come in and they say, ‘You’re 36,’ which seemed very bad to me. But turns out 36 is fine, turns out 38 is bad. So basically it’s how Hollywood treats female actors.
Speaking about his quarantine attire as of late, Hanks said he had some help from his wife Rita Wilson. “But now my wife and I are doing fine, doing great. We’re hunkered down, like all of us should be. In fact, this suit, this is the first time I’ve worn anything other than sweatpants since March 11. My wife had to help me put it on,” he said.
“Now is it going to look a little different than what you’re used to? Yes. Will it be weird to see sketches without big sets and costumes? Sure. But will it make you laugh? Eh, it’s. There’ll be some good stuff, maybe one or two stinkers, you know the drill,” Hanks added. “But let’s go. Stay safe, we are in this for the duration and we are in this together. And we will get through this together.”
Wrapping up his opener, the star thanked frontline healthcare professionals, grocery store stockers and restaurant employees, as well as “the men and women who are keeping this country going at the time when we need them more than ever before.” Also in the episode, Larry David made a cameo as Bernie Sanders, who recently suspended his presidential campaign, and Alec Baldwin made a cameo as President Donald Trump with a recorded message.
