During the SNL 50 Anniversary Special, Ryan Reynolds made a planned joke about his wife Blake Lively's harassment lawsuit. Despite eliciting awkward laughter from the audience, it was revealed that the comedic moment was scripted and initiated by Reynolds himself, who had rehearsed with hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler beforehand. This surprising choice raised eyebrows, especially from Lively, who has expressed serious emotional distress due to the lawsuit. The show's crew emphasized their consideration for celebrity guests when crafting these humorous moments.
"Reynolds rehearsed his bit with Fey and Poehler before the show aired live, which clearly shows his intention to include the joke about his wife's legal situation."
"That was his idea to do it, the crew member said, emphasizing that such moments are scripted to respect the feelings of celebrity guests."
