The\u00a02026 TV schedule\u00a0is about to deliver a momentous event to fans: the return of\u00a0Ryan Gosling\u00a0as\u00a0host of\u00a0Saturday Night Live<\/em>, in Season 51. This likely means that the new member of the\u00a0not-quite Five-Timers Club\u00a0(this will be his fourth stint) is going to break in at least one sketch, though we\u2019ll have to wait and see if it will reach the comedic heights of\u00a0Season 49\u2019s Beavis and Butt-Head triumph. Now, the star has revealed the really simple pitch he got for the famed sketch.<\/p>\n

If nothing else can be said about\u00a0SNL<\/em>, it\u2019s that the show always manages to bring fans several sketches that enter the pop culture lexicon every season. Ryan Gosling (who\u2019ll soon be seen in the\u00a02026 movie release,\u00a0Project Hail Mary<\/em>) is hosting on March 7, and he\u2019s been able to deliver at least one such sketch during each of his gigs on the long-running comedy, largely because he tends to completely\u00a0break and laugh his face off while performing.<\/p>\n
