Last night, Saturday Night Live returned with an "At Home" special and featured the cast and celebrity guests doing sketches from their individual homes. From seeing host Tom Hanks looking well to a hilariously relatable Zoom meeting sketch, the episode provided a lot of comfort for everyone dealing with the threat of COVID-19.

"We caught up with the cast at home for the #SNLAtHome opening," @nbcsnl wrote on Twitter. Before checking out people's tweets, watch the opening in the video below:

After an episode in March that featured No Time to Die's Daniel Craig and The Weeknd, SNL went a scheduled hiatus. During the hiatus, virtually all late-night productions shut down to adhere to social distancing standards handed down by the federal government. Tonight's episode was pre-recorded entirely remote with cast members writing and filming everything on their own within the confines of their own homes. Here's what comforted fans had to say about the episode...
