Saturday Night Live Recap: Ryan Gosling Breaks Up With You


Nobody but Ryan Gosling gets to laugh through the entire show.

It’s no longer a surprise that the hot guy with a rep for intensity can also do comedy; he damn near won an Oscar last month for bringing nuance to his most broadly silly movie role ever, as alluded in his monologue song Taylor Swift-ing a bittersweet farewell to Barbie ’s Ken. In a break from recent routine, the episode cold-opens with the host and a recurring character rather than politics: Kate McKinnon returns as Colleen Rafferty, the repeatedly alien-abducted woman whose experiences are inevitably less transcendent than what her fellow abductees describe. Big credit to this sketch for swerving from what seems like its initial premise: Ryan Gosling adopting a Latin accent alongside his friends, who are legitimately Cuban (Marcello Hernandez) and Dominican (Kenan Thompson), while he’s actually from Tennessee.
