Saturday
The David S. Pumpkins Halloween Special – 11:30pm to midnight on NBC/Global
I guess I was the only one who found SNL’s David S. Pumpkin sketch last October painfully unfunny, because it has inspired this 30-minute animated special, voiced by Tom Hanks, Mikey Day, Bobby Moynihan and Game of Thrones’ Peter Dinklage. It will be followed by an hour of SNL, presumably Halloween highlights from SNL’s vast library of classic sketches. Scary.
