"For some old-school SNL snobs, it's unforgivable; for everyone else, it's one of the reasons Gosling is considered one of the more beloved hosts in recent history."
"SNL eventually fully leaned into Gosling's giggles in a sketch called "Passing Notes," which saw the host play a high school principal and Padilla a teacher scolding students for passing notes before reading them aloud. However, as a note displayed in the lower third of the screen revealed at the beginning of the sketch, the writers switched out the notes read aloud between dress rehearsal and the live show."
"For Gosling, his composure slipped from the beginning of the opening monologue, when, following a surprise appearance from next week's SNL host Harry Styles, Mikey Day unexpectedly planted a kiss on the "dejected" Gosling's cheek."
Ryan Gosling's fourth hosting appearance on Saturday Night Live showcased his characteristic difficulty maintaining composure during sketches. His laughter began during the opening monologue after an unexpected kiss from Mikey Day and continued through multiple sketches, including one where he played a wedding guest interrupting the bride and groom, another featuring him as a cyclops solving riddles, and a high school principal reading altered notes aloud. The writers intentionally switched out notes between dress rehearsal and the live show to capitalize on Gosling's tendency to break. The episode concluded with a progressively absurd sketch called "Goo Goo Man" involving hotel concierge charges. Gorillaz performed their long-awaited SNL debut with songs "Clint Eastwood" and "The Mountain."
