Joined by other five-time hosts, including Emma Stone, Scarlett Johansson, Tina Fey, Paul Rudd, Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, John Mulaney and Alec Baldwin — who’s hosted the show a jaw-dropping 17 times — the group threw an induction ceremony for Short.
During the cold open sketch, SNL cast member Bowen Yang brought out a tray of cocktails. As Hanks picks up one of the drinks to hand to Short, who’s standing beside Fey, he quips: “May I offer you our signature cocktail, the Marty Tina.”. While holding the drink, Hanks’ hand appears visibly shaky.
Numerous people pointed out his trembles on social media, with one tweeting: “Did anyone notice Tom Hanks’ hands shaking unnaturally in this sketch?”. A second on Threads added: “I also noticed it!!! And now I am concerned.”. “Tom Hanks was just on SNL and he looked ROUGH and I noticed his hands now have the same shake that Bill Clinton has acquired,” a third wrote.
