[@RyanM268]

I like how Ryan always laughs & breaks character. It makes everything natural and more entertaining.

[@moonbeam4016]

Ryan Robert of course would say that, Ryan.

[@steveconn]

It's predictable and boring now, not spontaneous.

[@jescareno8332]

Ryan T He’s not that old.People don’t normally start aging badly until they hit there 40s

[@AM-ry8is]

I love that he cracks up on this!

[@davidbadiola3005]

Ryan Gosling is one seriously funny dude without trying too hard to be funny

[@kushbalaji1019]

Without a Doubt no shit dude he is funny too sometimee

[@jualiet2212]

I'm so unbelievably glad that ppl are still talking about La La Land

[@purvashdangi1502]

Best film ever made in cinema

[@purvashdangi1502]

[@MrBen51309]

It's a great film, aged better than Moonlight in my opinion.

[@abhisikta6904]

They still are! It's the freaking best.

[@sparklez63368]

"Nerlins" to "chicagi" to "ENN WHY SEE" city

[@aidanrogers4438]

Ryan's sweater is on point.

[@gigid9606]

he can do no wrong. except the smoking. not cool

[@HT69MM]

Batman Jr. he saves the sweaters!😜

[@freshhh_prince]

But seriously where can I find that thing??

[@HT69MM]

josh prince hahah try with your grandfather's closet.

[@freshhh_prince]

Mildred Hernández I tried there, no luck :(

[@MelissaNgai]

Aw I love that Emma is always there supporting Ryan. This was actually a really funny monologue and I love how he actually broke at the piano part because it made it even funnier.

[@tavir45]

You can totally hear Emma Stone laugh while miked up at 4:40 right before she comes on stage

[@julianamolinasilva7418]

Omg true, she's so sweet 😍😍😍

[@vollmond9342]

She has such a dorky laughter. I love it!

[@TheCrooksandCastle]

Lol, she laughs like Seth Rogan

[@riccardobanelli4940]

Yeees is true!!!

[@antislutful]

Heh..eheh eheh.

[@sherlaneyuen5263]

Emma Stone's cameo definitely made it ALL the better, but all the skits were primo during this premiere! Let Emma Stone host again this season!

[@kiertavasirkus]

Sherlane Yuen yes, she should be in the Five-Timers Club

[@JetaimeToday]

+Sherlane Yuen - Yes! When Emma hosts, SNL should have Ryan do a cameo.

[@preeti496]

I fall in love with Emma stone everytime I see her say "WE saved jazz". Love her, absolutely adorable.

[@Hannibal_Barca_from_Carthage]

Isn't that right, NYC city? ❤❤❤

[@lukapitkanen3333]

I feel like Ryan can't EVER keep his face straight xD

[@flybeep1661]

What? Did you see his movies? He's known for his stoic straight face performance. Watch Drive, Only God Forgives and he also seems to be doing it in his latest movie Blade Runner 2049

[@yootoobnewbie]

It must take a lot of takes to film his scenes.

[@christru22]

He's the best at it.

[@dafty9159]

I'm not straight when Ryan appears on screen

[@lukapitkanen3333]

@FlyBeep Well he is the kind of actor to always have the same face on in his movies but I was referring to his snl sketches :P

[@jalensera]

The funniest part to me is 3:05 when has to remember to act like he’s playing. The movements kill me every time😂

[@Amyelferdink]

I don't think there was a single sketch tonight in which Ryan didn't break. Some how, I like it better when he breaks?!

[@RollingOrmond]

Because it's cheap, unearned laughs. SNL used to keep straight faces and make the material itself earn the laughs. Unprofessional.

[@aishwaryachaudhary2933]

Levi's woke

[@anujoseph_10]

He doesn't laugh in pre recorded stuff. He didn't laugh in Papyrus, Levi's woke etc. Live is his weak point. But what the hell, its even more funny when he breaks the character.

[@jamiesuzette666]

Does this man ever age lol

[@gezblair]

Jamie Vertz he’s got a really scary picture of himself in the attic

[@wratched]

Guy's only 36 for god's sake. Hell, Gillian Anderson is 49. Call me when he hits Paul Newman territory.

[@dianagable6640]

Jamie Vertz He’s probably younger looking without the beard.

[@ikmnification5737]

He strategically bearded himself at a young age so as he got older he would look the same.

[@shelbytomy07]

He's alien

[@hessu275]

Ryan and Emma are so cute together

[@tuuwop2723]

he has a wife jackass

[@emanuelrice1646]

Really good monlogue! Simple, fresh, and funny!

[@Marie-jz1qw]

I loved it when he suddenly remembered he was supposed to be playing the piano :'''') Ryan Gosling is hilarious and seems genuinely so nice

[@amycarpenter4724]

5:21 I love Ryan’s little smirk. he like, yep that’s Emma.

[@lisamelroy2855]

I love how Ryan can't even make it halfway through the *monologue* without breaking! Never change, Ryan - never change! 😂😂😂

[@senate_shakya_]

'Handsome' has another synonym, its 'Ryan Gosling.'

[@himdotcom]

Ryan breaking is a show of his humor. I wish more people would take the time to simply laugh and not criticize.

[@Agutkowa]

Well said!

[@fromthehaven94]

- Do you need a tissue? - No, I think I'll use my shirt.

[@Yeodoongiiie]

ryan didn't save jazz.. THEY saved jazz :D you gotta love these two together!!!!

[@justinfabricius1597]

It is strange to see people smoking on television again

[@jaygeeshouseofexpression3446]

Rocking the burgundy like Ron Burgundy !

[@marooner]

Was it fake? There’s no way that much smoke came that fast

[@jacopom2778]

Marooner I’ve smoked for a while and I can tell u it’s real as shit

[@vinegardaddy2554]

Marooner Herbal prop cigarettes, smells like burning sage, it’s considered “healthier and less illegal”. There’s also another kind of prop cigarette that needs no lighting, if you blow through it, smoke will come out, with the end of the cigarette “flickering”.

[@johnvogel3722]

And yet vaping has been around for decades. Only harmful when drug deals create fake juice and the government is trying to shut it down. But smoking on TV is ok for kids. Strange

[@radioactivman23]

This is BY FAR the best opening monologue ever, it just got everything!

[@IloveGorgeousGeorge]

Ryan Gosling is so underrated at comedy.

[@AlainBruno]

Ryan Gosling is the coolest actor 👍

[@merdesh2402]

He is talented

[@andreeaabro]

My favorite monologue 😂😂

[@mailinwinder3442]

yes

[@saminnyc]

Love Ryan and Emma together. They seems like good friends.

[@beatriceboldorini8606]

Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling back together saved September ❤

[@raywei8472]

Love the La La Land references and Emma Stone's appearance

[@h0lly_blue]

I think he wore this same sort of outfit on Graham Norton the other day

[@emilsn91]

He sure did

[@krombopulos_michael]

It's a good outfit!

[@valeriabellushi8253]

HollyBlueAgitated i

[@purpledyeimmortal4119]

Yes he did

[@heaventje]

Take a closer look. Same vest but different suit in the same color.

[@aidanheaney821]

Since Emma already played Sally Bowles MASTERFULLY in Cabaret, I would really love to see her do it again with Ryan as Cliff because I think he would be absolutely perfect and those two obviously work really well together!

[@catarinabakker8405]

Emma's " *We* saved jazz " was so funny and smooth omg 😂

[@tr0nd15c]

Best SNL guest improv/intro since forever. Ryan Gosling slayed. He kept composure most of the time despite the raucous crowd reactions; episode laughkilled all the way through. Damn good job Lorne Michaels.

[@JohnnyLREACTS]

His monologue killed. It’s one of my favorites all time.

[@StewartFletcher]

I don't know if I should break the illusion, but Ryan has been wearing that sweater/jacket combo the ENTIRE press tour for Blade Runner. Look at all the press junkets, even GRAHAM NORTON, he's wearin' it

[@AdamC2013]

Stewart Fletcher I figure he could afford 1000 of those outfits, a new one for each hour 😅

[@heaventje]

Maybe because those press junket interviews and Graham Norton were all from the same day. Some celebrities change outfits between events, doesn't mean it's obligated. Probably likes that suit a lot, a simple man. Edit: it's not the same suit as on Graham Norton, but it is the same color. The vest is the same, different suit.

[@MoeMentos]

And what "illusion" exactly might that be breaking?

[@pianomatt715]

Stewart Fletcher omg I know I've seen it too

[@heaventje]

It's a different suit in the same color. On Graham Norton it has a checkered pattern, here it is even.

[@ankitasaxena8993]

5:17 "You didn't save jazz, we saved jazz." [Nonchalantly smokes cigarette whilst saying NYC City]

[@BeatMower]

I like how the piano kept playing when he lit his cigarette

[@ect2541]

the cigarette suddenly appeared on her hand was like magic!

[@purplecrayon7281]

I can't wait to visit Nerlens, Chicagee, and NYC Citee.

[@rissa_x]

ryan always breaks character & i love it

[@Biebtsari]

Ryan needs to be the host all the time, he's honestly so amazing

[@gregkrazanski]

what a great monologue lol. hilarious writing and performed really well

[@astridjohnson965]

Okay Ryan I'm already in love with you, you don't need to give me that smoldering look right into the camera and mess me up all over again

[@katiesigner168]

When you break in your monologue

[@RollingOrmond]

You're trying to milk cheap laughs, the way they've been doing for years. I miss professionalism.

[@vladajanic]

Shat ap

[@peterfung1855]

La la land actually saved me though. I always did a little bit of jazz before I saw this movie but once I watched the movie, jazz is all I play now. Whenever I’m feeling down I just sit down in front of the piano and play. It’s always a good distraction too. I’m always listening to different types and It helps me in every way and I’ve come to love it.

[@Mo-MuttMusic]

Wonderful art form. Shawn R., Mo-Mutt Music

[@timameye7687]

Never forget to make beautifull moments like this one

[@wyattumlauf558]

I didn't know that I did this SNL monologue!

[@LCKSher]

I don't know about jazz, but Emma totally saved this monologue. jk it was already great, although she did make it even better.

[@IAteFire]

Benedick It's almost like it was a...well setup joke. Like she came in with the punchline or something

[@purplealchemistofficial]

this monologue is so underrated

[@ShockerTopper]

Seems like one of the most genuine nice guys in Hollywood, he's a tough person to really dislike besides jealousy I guess.

[@alejandras1901]

forever my favorite snl host and ultimate himbo

[@TheNyannchuu]

They are so funny and cool actors!! I'm happy with watching their acting together.

[@tastidmuntasir1316]

It's one of the top 20 monologue of all time.

[@StonedCabbage]

Ryan Gosling is a class act. No politics at all in anything he does. Completely unbiased humor and with no hatred towards anyone. We don't deserve The Goose but we need him.

[@SmithRN-rg9nh]

HES SO CUTE AND FUNNY!

[@MildManNerd]

He jazzed so much I think we all felt it. ;)

[@carmelaszymanski8232]

[@cheetosortiz2783]

It would be awesome if Emma and Ryan did a short number from la la Land at the end.

[@reginaphalange8879]

I knowww. They could have stared at each other and gone "what a waste of lovely night" 😂😂😂

[@Room142]

Idc what people say, when the host acts ridiculous OTT cocky and other cast members put him in his place, it's hilarious 😂 Ryan was great 👌

[@anne-droid7739]

Good Lord, I haven't seen an outfit like that since 1984.

[@davidkrebs1853]

Anne-droid That sweater vest is 70's. I wore one just like it with my brown two toned semi platforms, and Maroon cuffed Corduroy bellbottoms!

[@davidkrebs1853]

Anne-droid Well I guess the sweater vest is kind of timeless.

[@anne-droid7739]

Yes, I'd have to agree with that. Did your two-toned semi-platforms have bump toes? =D

[@scottc4199]
