Ryan Gosling's Monologue with Harry Styles Broke an SNL Record Set in His Last Episode

Ryan Gosling was distracted during his Saturday Night Live monologue by an unexpected guest sitting in the front row: Harry Styles.

The actor opened his fourth time hosting SNL by thanking the audience and noting that “it’s the perfect time to be in New York City, early March … is that Harry Styles?”

The camera then cut to the Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. singer, who released his new album the day before and is set to serve as host and musical guest of next week’s SNL.

“I’m hosting next week, and it’s been a while so I just wanted to watch and get a feel for it,” Styles told Gosling.

“So professional, that’s awesome” Gosling said. “You’re here, just wish someone would have told me.”

Styles’ presence dominated the rest of the monologue, as Gosling referred to his new movie, Project Hail Mary, as “Project Harry Styles,” and when the actor started reflecting on why he likes making movies about space, the camera still gravitated toward Styles. “Why are we on Harry Styles?” Gosling wondered.

And it's fun to see him dealing with someone else being the bright star!

... all the way back to his early days on Disney's kid shows. But recently he has performed to raves in La-la Land and Barbie. I think that's why this joke went over so well, not many other actors could have handled it as well as Gosling.
