But as Trump now re-sumes his second term, it must be appropriate to join his favorite Doug again. Hanks appeared at the end of the sketch wearing the end of the sketch, honestly controlling the board. He then made the point that more people should go to church. Thompson's character easily agreed, then took Doug's hand and just sat the body of the foot on it, as if afraid of his life.

For the average audience, it could have been regarded as a simple misfire, a moment that must have been under-occupied in a highly respected show.
