Saturday Night Live Takes a Break: Ryan Gosling Shares Exciting Updates in the Latest Show
Ryan Gosling Rocks SNL for the 3rd Time
Saturday Night Live is currently on a two-week break, but the latest show, hosted by Ryan Gosling, left fans in awe. Gosling, inching closer to the legendary 5 Timers Club, captivated the audience with a series of memorable moments.
From Ken to The Fall Guy: Gosling Opens Up
Following his unforgettable performance of “I’m Just Ken” at the Oscars, Gosling made it clear that he was here to promote his latest movie, The Fall Guy, alongside the talented Emily Blunt. Although it seemed he didn’t want to dive into the subject of his bleached blonde Barbie character, he couldn’t help but share some details.
Comparing the process of letting go of Ken to a break-up, Gosling acknowledged that the best remedy for such a situation is the music of Taylor Swift—an essential breakup confidant. Sitting at the piano, he surprised the audience with a tweaked version of Swift’s “All Too Well.”
Emily Blunt Helps Gosling Move On
Gosling’s heartfelt performance met a temporary interruption when Emily Blunt joined him on stage, humorously chastising him for focusing too much on Ken. Blunt reminded her co-star of the exciting Fall Guy monologue and epic stunts they had planned, and jokingly expressed frustration with his fixation on Barbie’s ex-beau.
Gosling, however, remained keen on connecting the dots between his on-stage Ken persona and their new film. As their playful banter continued, the multi-talented pair ultimately acknowledged the need to bid farewell to their respective characters.
Gosling’s Celebrity Encounters Continue: “Close Encounter” Sketch Returns
Gosling’s celebrity encounters didn’t end there. In the latest “Close Encounter” sketch, the audience witnessed the return of Kate McKinnon’s beloved character, Miss Rafferty. Gosling, who first appeared in the sketch back in 2015, showcased his impeccable comedic timing once again. And, as expected, the actor broke character—hardly surprising for those familiar with his previous hosting gigs.
