When you see Tom Hanks on your TV screen sitting in a comfortable seat7xm, you know that either you’re about to get an education on America’s national parks or a new member is going to be inducted into the Five-Timers Club at “Saturday Night Live.”
This weekend, it was the host Martin Short’s turn to join the elite legion of performers who have hosted “S.N.L.” five times, welcomed by a pantheon of celebrities that included Paul Rudd, Tina Fey, John Mulaney, Scarlett Johansson, Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy.
The segment began with a short introduction from Hanks, who explained that he started the club in a December 1990 “S.N.L.” episode as an “ingeniously lazy way to avoid writing a monologue.”
He was joined by Rudd, who asked Hanks who he was talking to. Hanks apologized, saying, “I’ve done so many documentaries, whenever I sit in a leather chair, I just naturally assume I’m in one.”
The accountability office said many of those systems “have critical operational impacts” on air traffic safety and efficiency. Many of them are also facing “challenges that are historically problematic for aging systems,” according to the report.

Now, some of his allies are abandoning him. Most of his senior campaign staff members have resigned. The Republican Governors Association said that its pro-Robinson ads would expire tomorrow and that no new ones had been placed. And former President Donald Trump, who endorsed Robinson in the spring, calling him “Martin Luther King on steroids,” did not mention him once during his rally in the state over the weekend.
