Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson brought a humorous element to the Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary celebration by playfully "storming out" during a comedic skit that elicited laughter from the audience. The Hollywood duo rose from their seats and proceeded to the rear of the auditorium following host Jimmy Fallon's announcement that the three-hour SNL concert would not be distributing any awards.

On stage, Fallon stated, “It seems there has been some misunderstanding. This is merely a concert. We will not be presenting any awards this evening. I want to ensure that everyone is aware of this.” Subsequently, as captured in a clip that has gained significant traction on social media, Hanks and Wilson humorously exited the Radio City Music Hall in New York. Wilson even playfully gestured with her finger at the camera while Fallon joined in on their comedic performance.
The host of The Tonight Show remarked, “Tom? Rita?” and added, “We’ve lost Tom Hanks and Rita. My apologies. It wasn’t their fault,” as reported by The Independent.
Throughout the years, Hanks has established himself as a prominent figure on SNL, having hosted the program on ten occasions and appearing in several unforgettable cameos, the latest of which occurred in December 2024. His regular appearances have rightfully secured him a distinguished position in the esteemed Five-Timers Club, an exclusive group designated for celebrities who have hosted the show five times or more.
