Kicking off the night with some good news, SNL will be airing a new live episode tonight with none other than Ryan Gosling hosting. Just last summer, Margot Robbie and Gosling dominated the box office when they showcased the hit film Barbie. While focusing on Barbie finding her place in the world, Gosling stole the film with his portrayal of Ken. His antics not only gained him high praise but landed him a performance at the Academy Awards. With the world full of “Kenergy”, Gosling’s performance tonight is sure to come packed with laughs.

While Gosling knows how to dance, sing, and act, he will only be the host this evening and not the musical guest. That honor will go to country star Chris Stapleton. The country singer is a top name in country music and even performed the national anthem at the Super Bowl. Having thousands of fans, it seemed that Gosling was also a massive fan of Stapleton. In a promo for SNL tonight, Gosling tried his best to get an autograph for the country icon. The only problem – nerves go in the way. Trying to come up with the best introduction line, Gosling proved that even celebrities get starstruck.
