David S. Pumpkins

third thing off to the side.

She's, as David S. Pumpkins once said, his own thing.

His own thing.

Additionally, number.i backwards is ion, which is an incomplete particle.

Things are different now back here, high above the mighty Columbia.

I'm David Pumpkins.

It's David Pumpkin spice season, and, uh, we for one embrace it as we have made it, folks, to episode 4,822 in a collector's series.

Let the fun begin.

Uh, and we're gonna see some sketches on here that are part of that election cycle, where we're gonna have Black Jeopardy here from the Tom Hanks episode.

The same episode featured David Pumpkins, so Black Jeopardy 11, David Pumpkins at 11- at 7.

Uh, Election Night from the Dave Chappelle episode came in at 69 on the list.

Also from 42, we had the third edition of Datino at 54 from the Kristen Stewart episode.

And, uh, this is a sketch from an episode we already talked about, so this'll be fun to get into.

Actually, we already talked about it tonight because we are about to go back to the Tom Hanks episode, and at number seven talk about the Haunted Elevator or David S. Pumpkins sketch here at number seven on the list.

One sketch that people widely consider as maybe the greatest Halloween sketch in SNL history, maybe the greatest modern character we've seen.

Uh, but this was one that created a lot of buzz back on the night of October 22nd, 2016, where we saw Tom Hanks, uh, appear as David S. Pumpkins, uh, next to Mikey Day and Bobby Moynihan as his sidekicks, where we are going to see 100 floors of frights as Beck and Kate are entering an elevator with Kenan as the Hellevator operator, Mark.

He's going to take them to different levels.

We'll see Vanessa and Kyle and Leslie as all different characters through the levels.

But there is just some weird, odd character named David S. Pumpkins who's dressed in this pumpkin suit with this weird streak in his hair That is dancing to the song, and we just cannot understand what in the world is happening with David Pumpkins.

And it sort of created this moment, Casper, that I'm so interested to hear your perspective on because I feel like this was a bit of a generational change at the show where this felt like a sketch that was made for the internet, where it was almost like immediately after it aired, everyone could get behind what in the world is going on with David Pumpkins, and it became like such a, a thing unto itself past the show that it speaks to the greatness of this sketch.

ideas.

David S. Pumpkins, any questions? Oh, wait, there's

one comment.

This is a guy who's meeting them halfway here.

[laughs]

Like, I'm, I'm, I'm in the moment watching David S. Pumpkins do a dance, and I'm like, "Is he from something?"

[laughs]
