Ryan Gosling sparked laughter among fans before hosting his upcoming Saturday Night Live episode by filming a comedic teaser with regular cast member Mikey Day. The 45-year-old Canadian actor attempted to prank Day while promoting his new movie, creating a memorable moment that featured several breaks in character. This Ryan Gosling SNL promo quickly gained attention for the actor’s playful and unguarded performance.
Behind the Scenes of the SNL Sketch
In the teaser video shared on social media for Gosling’s film Project Hail Mary, he pretended to call Mikey Day to wish him a Valentine’s Day – or “Palentine’s Day,” as Gosling called it. Throughout the conversation, Gosling repeatedly brought up his movie’s release, set for March 20, despite Day suspecting the call was actually a setup for a promotional bit. As Day questioned the underlying purpose of the call, Gosling struggled to stay in character and laughed several times.
Is this a marketing thing, you called me and you’re showing me things your character would show an alien…I thought you were doing a bit,
Day said, with Gosling responding while laughing that they were indeed discussing the movie’s release.
Although Day insisted he hadn’t seen the film and questioned Gosling’s intentions, the actor continued to juggle between maintaining his role and endorsing Project Hail Mary. The lighthearted skit demonstrated Gosling’s charm and ability to make sketches more entertaining by occasionally breaking character, much to the delight of viewers.
