“Saturday Night Live ”recap: Ryan Gosling hosts for a 4th time

Welcome Coneheads to the latestSNL in Review. Please take a seat.Saturday Night Live's Connor Storrie episode last week was well-received by most of you, almost80 percent. Still, there was some controversy around the show — well, at least regardingone of the cut sketchesthey posted online.

Tonight's host isRyan Gosling. It's his fourth time hosting and he's quietly amassed a strong track record as host over the past dozen or so years. Beavis + Butthead went viral,a gigglefest. "Papyrus" is classic.

FormerSNLcast member John Milhiser says Gosling "can do it all. He's funny, grounded and charming. We all love Ryan Gosling. He's a national treasure."

I am excited for tonight's musical guest. Gorillaz is a (now iconic) virtual band brought to life through four animated personas: 2‑D, Murdoc Niccals, Noodle, and Russel Hobbs. On Letterman back in 2010, the group translated their virtual concept into late night by putting Damon Albarn and a full live band onstage with animated visuals, plus stylized staging representing the band's fictional identity.

Tonight's appearance marks a milestone moment, timed to their' 25th anniversary and a new album cycle, bringing the animated band to Studio 8H for the first time. So my understanding is their live shows combine real musicians performing live (partially hidden) with animated visuals of the characters, using screens and projections. Should be fun!

Cold Open

Next up on C-SPAN, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth (Colin Jost) is doing a keg stand. Relax, it's Sprite. Woof, this again. References to Papa Roach,Family Guy, and "Under the Sea". He takes questions from members of the media. Will there be boots on the ground in Iran? Watch and find out!

Kristi Noem has been "reassigned under the bus." She (Ashley Padilla) comes out to note she wasn't fired, she self-deported.

Monologue

Next week's host Harry Styles is in the audience. Gosling calls him out immediately. I remember when Gosling himself did this. Gosling begins singing about the pale blue dot and his new movie — but the camera keeps panning away, selecting Harry!

Sarah Sherman comes out, asking about their big alien dance number*. But he's too distracted. He tries to sing… a song by Harry, "Sign of the Times," to Harry. Struggling, a frog-throated Gosling attempts to recreate his "I'm Just Ken" moment from the Oscars. He's flailing. Some of the cast comes out, in alien garb, to support him. I like this!

(**Milhiser noted to me earlier that Gosling is "a good dancer. We love a good dancer. When someone is a good dancer I only see green flags! No red flags in sight.")

MGK fan falls through hole in stage during London show: 'The coolest thing you could have ever f---ing done'

Machine Gun Kellywitnessed an unfortunate accident at one of his shows on Thursday.

The "Bad Things" singer-rapper was performing at his concert at the O2 Arena in London when he saw a fan suddenly fall through a hole in the stage. The incident, which was captured in multiple fanvideos posted to TikTok, occurred during a moment when several attendees joined MGK on stage to walk with him during his song "Bloody Valentine."

After the musician shouted "yes, my loves!" the fan followed behind him, but then plunged into the gap and seemed to hit her head on the way down.

"Oh my God! Hold up," MGK said upon seeing the tumble. He then sang the lyrics "I can't hide" but changed the next line to "I really hope that you're fine" as he helped the fan back up onto the stage.

"Are you okay?" he asked the fan as she returned to her feet. She responded affirmatively.

"You are?" the singer replied. "Let's f---ing go!"

After the track concluded, the fanattempted to apologizeto MGK.

"Oh, dude. No, no, no. Sorry?" he responded. "That was the coolest thing you could have ever f---ing done. This is the first time I've ever sold out the O2. That's the first time anyone's ever fell off the stage, dude. Let's f---ing go."

The musician then gave the fan a gift to commemorate the occasion.

"Okay, you know what? I wear this hat every f---ing day," he said while holding up a baseball cap, noting that a friend gave it to him. "It's special, but f--- that, it's yours."

MGK then hugged the fan and continued performing.

Entertainment Weeklyhas reached out to a representative for MGK for comment and further information.

Later in the concert,SNLalumPete Davidsontook the stageto help perform MGK's 2020 track "Roll the Windows Up." The comedian rapped the second half of the song's first verse, beginning with the line "I'm in quarantine, but the weed man pulls up here / I got a hundred packs of backwoods."

MGKconsiders Davidson a close friend. "I don't have any siblings, you know, so when you see someone like Pete — that's like my little brother," the musician said onThe Howard Stern Showin 2020. "He's my best friend, too, but also like a little brother. You have the opportunity to live that dynamic of having a sibling. 'Cause I was an only child, so, obviously, to me, that's like the dream: having a brother or a sister. Pete's like that for me."

Pentagon and FAA agree to conduct anti-drone laser tests in New Mexico

The Pentagon and the Federal Aviation Administration agreed to conduct anti-drone laser tests in New Mexico after the military's deployment of the lasers led the FAA to suddenly close airspace in Texas twice in the last month.

APTOPIX Mexico US Border

The newly announced testing was being carried out to "specifically address FAA safety concerns," the military said Friday in a statement. It was to take place Saturday and Sunday at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.

Lawmakers were concerned about an apparent lack of coordination after the Pentagon allowed U.S. Customs and Border Protection to use an anti-drone laser in early February without notifying the FAA. The federal agency that ensures safety in the skies decided toclose the airspaceover El Paso for a few hours, stranding many travelers.

The Trump administration said it was working to halt an incursion by Mexican cartel drones, which are not uncommon along the southern border.

On Feb. 26 the U.S. militaryused the laser to shoot downa "seemingly threatening" drone flying near the U.S.-Mexico border. It turned out the drone belonged to Customs and Border Protection, lawmakers said.

The incident led the FAA to close the airspace around Fort Hancock, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) southeast of El Paso.

"We appreciate the coordination with the Department of War to help ensure public safety," the FAA said of the testing, in a separate statement. "The FAA and DOW are working with interagency partners to address emerging threats posed by unmanned aircraft systems while maintaining the safety of the National Airspace System."

The military is required to formally notify the FAA when it takes anycounter-drone actioninside U.S. airspace.

Illinois Democratic Sen. Tammy Duckworth, the ranking member on the Senate's Aviation Subcommittee, called previously for an independent investigation after the two February incidents.

Steve Carell Shares His Hot Take About “Crazy, Stupid, Love” Ahead of Its 15th Anniversary

At the New York City premiere of Rooster, Steve Carell reflected on the 15th anniversary of Crazy, Stupid, Love

NEED TO KNOW

• During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, he revealed that for the longest time, the script remained untitled

• The 63-year-old actor also gave his own hot take on the title and how his perception of it has changed over the years

At the New York City premiere ofRooster,Steve Carelltook a moment to reflect on a fan-favorite from his past.

While speaking withEntertainment Tonight, the actor was baffled to learn thatCrazy, Stupid, Loveis approaching its 15th anniversary and shared the story behind how the film ultimately got its title – along with his own candid thoughts about it.

"I never liked that title," Carell admitted. "I do now, but when Dan Fogelman wrote it, he didn't title it. He didn't call it anything. It was 'Untitled Dan Fogelman Project.' "

Carell explained that, at the time, "everybody had an idea as to what the title should be," but no one could land on the right name. The script, written by Fogelman, had strong characters and sharp dialogue, but the title proved surprisingly difficult to narrow down. Eventually, the studio stepped in to make the final decision.

"So finally, Warner Brothers just said, 'We're calling itCrazy, Stupid, Love,' I was like, 'Eh, alright,'" Carell said.

While theOfficeactor wasn't immediately sold on the name, he knew the film would be great no matter what it was called.

"But I'm convinced that if it's good and people like it, people will like the title. Doesn't even matter what you call it," he added.

Released in July 2011, the film starred Carell as Cal Weaver, a middle-aged man newly navigating divorce and rediscovering confidence. He appeared alongsideRyan Gosling,Julianne Moore,Emma StoneandKevin Bacon, among others. The ensemble cast and interwoven love stories helped turn the movie into a box office success and a lasting romantic comedy favorite.

Fifteen years later, Carell seems at peace with the once-debated title. As he suggested, audiences ultimately embraced the film for its story and performances — proving that sometimes a name really doesn't matter as much as the movie itself.

More recently, Carell is starring in the upcomingHBO comedy series,Rooster,as Greg Russo, a bestselling author who heads to a college campus to support his daughter, Katie, and finds himself unexpectedly pulled into campus life and academia.

The series, co-created by Bill Lawrence and Matt Tarses, premieres on March 8, 2026, on HBO and streaming on HBO Max.
