Hanks came back, and the ride got crowdedHanks 回来了，这趟车挤进了更多人
Tom Hanks returned to Saturday Night Live on Halloween night to play David S. Pumpkins again, in a cold open that went after President Trump's recent rally speeches and his fixation with men's physiques, according to Variety. The episode aired Oct. 31. Variety's account, published that night, describes a costumed ride through a cheap amusement park and the Pumpkins character arriving in the middle of it to dance.Tom Hanks 在万圣节夜的《Saturday Night Live》上再次出演 David S. Pumpkins。据 Variety 报道，这段冷开场拿总统 Trump 近来的竞选集会言论以及他对男性体型的执念做文章。节目于10月31日晚间播出。Variety 当晚刊出的报道描述说，场景是廉价游乐园里的一段化装乘车项目，Pumpkins 在途中出现并跳起舞来。
Rolling Stone filed its own account on Nov. 1 and opens on the interruption rather than the costume. It has the president appearing during a couple's haunted house tour, showing what the piece calls spooky signs of aging and offering odd praise to Hanks. Both reports agree on the frame: Hanks holds still in character while the sketch's Trump does the talking. Both are recaps filed within a day of the broadcast. Rolling Stone's summary frames the interruption as eerie behavior of the president's own.Rolling Stone 于11月1日刊出的报道，切入点不是服装，而是那次打断。该文写总统在一对情侣的鬼屋之旅中出现，表现出它所说的衰老的诡异迹象，并对 Hanks 说了些古怪的称赞。两篇报道对整体框架的判断一致：Hanks 保持角色、站着不动，说话的是小品里的 Trump。两篇都是播出后一天之内发出的回顾稿。Rolling Stone 的导语把这次打断写成总统本人表现出的诡异行为。
A couple, a reaper and two skeletons一对情侣、一个死神与两副骷髅
Variety reports that the sketch opened with Grace Reiter and Jeremy Culhane as a young couple taking a ride at a low-end amusement park Halloween celebration. Kenan Thompson appears in a ghoulish Grim Reaper costume to walk them through a series of scary scenes. Hanks then turns up mid-route with a dorky dance routine, joined by Mikey Day and by Bobby Moynihan, a former cast member, in a cameo.Variety 报道，小品开场是 Grace Reiter 与 Jeremy Culhane 饰演的一对年轻情侣，在廉价游乐园的万圣节活动上乘坐游乐项目。Kenan Thompson 身着阴森的 Grim Reaper 服装出现，带他们依次经历一连串恐怖场景。Hanks 随后在途中现身，跳了一段笨拙的舞，Mikey Day 与前任卡司 Bobby Moynihan 一同客串。
Both reports treat the character's history as part of the joke. Variety notes that Hanks first played Pumpkins on the show in 2016. Rolling Stone puts the debut ten years back, describes a jack o'lantern blazer and notes a follow-up sketch in 2022. Day and Moynihan wore full-body skeleton jumpers with white face paint, according to Variety. The two accounts also describe the setting differently, as a ride at a low-end park and as a haunted house tour, and neither recap gives a runtime or an audience figure for the segment.这个角色的来历本身就是笑点的一部分。Variety 指出 Hanks 2016年首次在该节目中出演 Pumpkins；Rolling Stone 说这个角色是十年前出道的，描述了他那件南瓜图案的西装外套，并提到2022年还有一段后续小品。Variety 还写到，Day 与 Moynihan 穿着连体骷髅紧身衣、脸上涂白。两篇报道对场景的说法也不一样，一处写廉价游乐园里的乘车项目，一处写鬼屋之旅；两边都没有给出这段小品的时长或收视数字。
Trump steps in and the sketch turns to the pollsTrump 闯进来，话题转向民调
James Austin Johnson's Trump interrupts the ride. Variety reports that he complains Republicans are headed for a thumping in the Nov. 3 midterm election and then moves into a run of risqué jokes about the candidates he has endorsed at recent rallies. In Variety's transcript he starts from what the two men supposedly share: "We both appeared in 2016. We're both very loud, very orange and, frankly, very annoying."James Austin Johnson 饰演的 Trump 打断了游乐项目。Variety 报道，他抱怨共和党在11月3日的中期选举中将要惨败，随后转入一连串关于他近来在集会上背书的候选人外貌的荤段子。在 Variety 的记录里，他从两人所谓的共同点说起：“我们都是2016年出现的。我们都很吵、很橙，而且坦白说，很烦人。”
Rolling Stone builds the same beat around the president's age. Johnson's Trump makes an odd vocal noise, asks "What the hell was that?" and answers himself: "Probably soul trying to leave body." The comparison to Pumpkins survives in both transcripts, but the wording does not match line for line, and neither outlet says whether it was scripted or ad-libbed.Rolling Stone 把同一个段落围绕总统的年龄展开。Johnson 饰演的 Trump 发出一种古怪的声音，问“刚才那是什么鬼”，然后自答“大概是灵魂想离开身体”。与 Pumpkins 的比较在两篇记录里都保留了，但措辞并不逐字一致；两家媒体也都没有说明这句究竟是写好的台词，还是现场发挥的即兴内容。
Texas, a bruised hand and a Senate candidate得州、一只淤青的手与一位参议员候选人
Variety records the midterm material at length. Johnson's Trump complains that "the midterms are on Tuesday. The polls say we're doing very badly", then says Texas is turning purple, like his hand, and lifts the hand to show a large bruise. Rolling Stone keeps the same beat in different words, gives the character's age as 80 and notes the frequently bruised right hand he raises while saying he would leave the state for dead if it went blue. Neither transcript says where the bruise came from.Variety 详细记录了中期选举的部分。Johnson 饰演的 Trump 抱怨“中期选举就在周二，民调说我们情况很糟”，接着说得州正在变紫，就像他的手一样，并抬手露出一大块淤青。Rolling Stone 保留同一段落但措辞不同，写明这个角色80岁，并提到他举起那只常有淤青的右手，说如果得州变蓝，他就像对待自己的手一样弃之不顾。两篇记录都没有说明这块淤青究竟是怎么来的。
Both versions have him endorse Ken Paxton, the Republican Senate candidate, and insult him in the same breath. Variety's transcript calls Paxton "an ugly son of a bitch" while urging voters to pick him over the Democrat James Talarico, then calls Talarico "much better looking. What a dynamic ass." Rolling Stone renders the Paxton passage as an awful candidate and an ugly man the character says he hates, with Talarico cast as the better-looking option.两个版本都让他为共和党参议员候选人 Ken Paxton 背书，同时出言侮辱。Variety 的记录里，他称 Paxton 是“一个丑陋的混蛋”，一边又催选民选他而不是民主党人 James Talarico，随后说 Talarico“好看得多，屁股真带劲”。Rolling Stone 把这段写成：候选人很糟糕、人也丑，角色说自己讨厌他，而 Talarico 是更好看的那个选项。
Minaj arrives, then the press secretaryMinaj 登场，接着是新闻秘书
Saidah Belo-Osagie arrives late as Nicki Minaj, in a spoof of the rapper's support for Trump. Variety reports that the sketch casts Minaj as the president's next choice for press secretary, after Katie Zacharia's short run in the job this month. Variety places her entrance toward the end of the sketch rather than in the middle. In Variety's transcript Minaj says: "Trump's out here killing it — and by it, I mean my career."Saidah Belo-Osagie 在后段以 Nicki Minaj 的形象登场，戏仿这位说唱歌手对 Trump 的支持。Variety 报道，小品把 Minaj 设定为总统下一任新闻秘书的人选，此前 Katie Zacharia 本月在这个职位上迅速翻车。Variety 把她的出场放在小品接近结尾的地方，而不是放在中段。在 Variety 的记录里，Minaj 说：“Trump 在这儿大杀四方——我说的‘杀’是指我的事业。”
Zacharia closes the sketch. Variety reports that she fumbles the show's signature line, "Live from New York, it's Saturday night." Rolling Stone names the performer as Veronika Slowikowska and says the character had been fired as press secretary after less than a week. Variety's account has Trump bringing her out himself at the close, which is where the bit ends.Zacharia 为小品收尾。Variety 报道，她把节目的招牌台词“Live from New York, it's Saturday night”说砸了。Rolling Stone 写明扮演者是 Veronika Slowikowska，并说这个角色当新闻秘书不到一周就被解职。Variety 的版本是 Trump 亲自把她请了出来，小品就在那里结束。
The host, the guest and the missing aftermath主持人、音乐嘉宾与没有交代的后续
Variety names the week's host as Inde Navarrette, the star of Obsession, with Gracie Abrams as the musical guest. Rolling Stone's account mentions neither. The two pages also leave the aftermath blank: no statement from NBC, no comment from the Trump campaign on the portrayal, no reaction from Hanks and no ratings for the night. Both pieces are short recaps built from the broadcast rather than from interviews.Variety 写明本周主持人是《Obsession》主演 Inde Navarrette，音乐嘉宾是 Gracie Abrams；Rolling Stone 的报道没有提到这两项。两篇报道也都没有交代后续：NBC 没有声明，Trump 竞选团队没有就这段模仿回应，Hanks 没有表态，当晚也没有公布任何收视数字。两篇都是依据播出内容写成的短稿，而不是采访稿。
The record the two reports support is narrower than the sketch itself. A Halloween cold open put Hanks back in the pumpkin blazer, gave Johnson's Trump the middle of the segment and closed on a fumbled signature line. What remains open is everything after the sketch: whether the bit returns, what the campaign says about it and how the show handles election material from here. Related coverage on this site includes Minaj and the press secretary fight, the Ghosts Halloween special, the American Horror Story finale and the It Welcome to Derry episode.两篇报道能支撑的记录，比小品本身要窄。一段万圣节冷开场让 Hanks 重新穿上南瓜西装，把中段交给 Johnson 饰演的 Trump，并以一句说砸的招牌台词收尾。仍然没有答案的是小品之后的事：这个段子会不会再来，竞选团队会怎么说，以及节目此后如何处理选举题材。本站相关阅读包括Minaj 与新闻秘书风波、《Ghosts》万圣节特辑、《American Horror Story》本季终集与《It》Welcome to Derry 那集。
