Punchline star Tom Hanks finally returns to stand-up in this cut SNL sketch
Though it wasn’t the sequel to the 1988 David Seltzer film Punchline that fans have been clamoring for, NBC has now released a cut segment from this weekend’s Saturday Night Live that would’ve actually featured Hanks’ return to the world of stand-up comedy. The bit was part of Weekend Update, and it featured Kyle Mooney’s hacky New York comic Bruce Chandling introducing Hanks’ similarly hacky New York comic Paul Cannon for some Halloween humor.
