Ryan Gosling sparked laughter among fans even before hosting his upcoming Saturday Night Live episode by filming a promo with SNL regular Mikey Day. The Canadian actor’s playful attempts to stay in character during the teaser quickly fell apart, creating an entertaining moment that highlighted his charm and humor in the Ryan Gosling SNL promo.
A Humorous Teaser Featuring Ryan Gosling and Mikey Day
The 45-year-old star shared the video on social media through the account promoting his new film, Project Hail Mary. In the clip, Gosling tried to prank Mikey Day but repeatedly broke character due to his own laughter. Their skit showed Gosling pretending to call Day, who appeared as his co-star from a Beavis and Beaver sketch, to wish him “Palentine’s Day.” However, Gosling couldn’t resist plugging his upcoming movie throughout the call.
Despite Day catching on to the promotional angle and guessing that the prank was really about advertising the movie’s March 20 release, Gosling kept going. Day questioned the motivation behind the call, commenting,
“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,”
to which Gosling admitted they were discussing the film’s release, even as he broke into laughter.
Throughout the exchange, Mikey Day maintained that he hadn’t viewed the film, while Gosling did his best to stay in character, though his frequent giggles made it clear he was struggling.
