Though Ryan Gosling has become a fan favorite on Saturday Night Live over the past decade, he will always remember his first time hosting and the advice he received from a former SNL cast member.
The 45-year-old actor is coming back to host the sketch comedy show this Saturday to promote his upcoming film, Project Hail Mary, which is out in theaters on March 20. This will be the fourth time Gosling will host the show, with his most recent stint being in April 2024.
Prior to his upcoming SNL episode, Gosling appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night, where he spoke about Project Hail Mary, which is based on the popular Andy Weir novel with the same title and follows science teacher Ryland Grace, who discovers he's on a last-chance mission to save Earth and humanity. The La La Land star also reacted to positive reviews of the film and surprised his wife Eva Mendes with a birthday serenade.

One of the questions Fallon asked Gosling towards the beginning of the interview was if he remembers the first time he hosted SNL and if anyone gave him any advice before hosting. Gosling made his SNL hosting debut in December 2015, when he was promoting the crime film The Big Short.
Gosling then explained that Lorne Michaels, the executive producer of SNL, brought on "a huge hero" for the actor, Mike Myers, to the show. Myers, who was on the cast from 1989 to 1995, visited Gosling in his dressing room right before he debuted, sharing advice that original cast member Gilda Radner gave him.
"Right before I went on, [Myers] came into the dressing room, and he poked his head in, and he said, 'I'm going to tell you what Gilda Radner told me on my first day.'" Gosling started off the story. "He said, 'The show is a monster, and it needs to eat every Saturday night, and tonight, it's having you for dinner."
This caused Fallon to laugh, and Gosling concluded, saying that "it kind of feels like that."
Afterward, Gosling spoke about how he always laughs during sketches, for which he has received a lot of criticism in the past. The talk show host then pulled out a photo from the last time he hosted SNL two years ago, where Gosling and cast member Mikey Day played Beavis and Butt-head in a sketch where their characters disrupted a livestream event on AI. Their costumes caused Heidi Gardner, who was playing a news broadcaster, and the whole cast involved to completely break in the middle of the sketch, which went viral online.
