It’s official: Ryan Gosling has done it again.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It” could refer to a few things that occurred during the\u00a0Project Hail Mary\u00a0<\/em>star’s March 7\u00a0Saturday Night Live\u00a0<\/em>episode: He crushed his fourth time hosting, to name one example. But he also broke his own\u00a0SNL<\/em> record with a lengthy monologue featuring surprise guest Harry Styles.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gosling started the episode with a joke about New York City’s terrible early-March weather, before noticing a certain handsome man sitting up front in the audience.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“What are you doing here, man?” Gosling asked Styles.<\/p>\n

‘Well, I’m hosting next week, and it’s been awhile, so I just wanted to watch. Get a feel for it,” Styles explained.<\/p>\n

“That’s so professional. It’s awesome you’re here,” Gosling said, looking visibly flustered. “I just wish someone would have told me,” he added, before mistakenly calling his new movie\u00a0Project Harry Styles\u00a0<\/em>instead of\u00a0Project Hail Mary.<\/em><\/p>\n

Trying to shift gears, Gosling grew pensive as a globe dropped down beside him. “Look at this pale blue dot,” he said, launching into a sweeping speech about the people of Earth \u2014 until the camera cut back to Styles.<\/p>\n

“I’m sorry. Why are we on Harry Styles?” Gosling demaned. The camera operator, wearing an “I [heart] Harry” shirt, moved from a split screen to full focus on Harry. It’s enough to send a Hollywood star into an onstage funk.<\/p>\n

Ryan Gosling covered Harry Styles’ “Sign of the Times” before slipping into “I’m Just Ken”<\/h2>\n

Dispirited, Gosling called off the big musical number he’d planned, complete with alien-face backup dancers. He soldiered on to sing a solo karaoke version of Styles’ “Sign of the Times,” which he claims is in\u00a0Project Hail Mary.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

“And now I gotta sing it in front of him? I love this for me,” he wailed, before launching into a few lines, interjecting “I genuinely hate this!” In a panic over Styles’ thunder-stealing, he backslid into his Academy Award-nominated “I’m Just Ken” for a brief moment just to feel something.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I promised myself I wouldn’t do that,” he admitted. “God. Do you guys remember when I did that at the Oscars?”<\/p>\n

Ryan Gosling’s March 7 monologue was 7 minutes and 31 seconds long<\/h2>\n

Gosling’s monologue was lengthy \u2014 about two sketches long.<\/p>\n

Dave Chappelle still holds the record for the longest\u00a0SNL\u00a0<\/em>monologue in history at nearly 17 minutes, and fellow comedian Hosts John Mulaney, Nate Bargatze, and Chris Rock have all blown past 7-and-a-half minutes with joke-filled standup set monologues. But as\u00a0SNL\u00a0<\/em>statistician\u00a0Mike Murray of the\u00a0Saturday Night Network\u00a0<\/em>pointed out on X (formerly Twitter,) “Ryan Gosling\u2019s 7m 31s monologue was the longest non-standup SNL monologue since\u2026 Ryan Gosling\u2019s last SNL monologue (6m 57s, April 2024).”<\/p>\n

In another full-circle moment, Gosling himself<\/em> appeared in another Host’s monologue a week before hosting his own episode in Season 49:\u00a0He showed up to help induct Kristen Wiig into the Five Timers Club.<\/p>\n

The monologue was written by Mike DiCenzo, Ryan Gosling, and Jake Nordwind<\/h2>\n

“The split-screen gag is one of my favorite jokes I’ve written in awhile,”\u00a0SNL\u00a0<\/em>writer Mike DiCenzo wrote in an Instagram story that credited his cowriters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
