Fresh off his memorable appearance at the Oscars, Ryan Gosling is gearing up to grace the iconic stage of “Saturday Night Live” as a host, adding another feather to his cap of versatile talents.
The announcement, made on Wednesday by the long-running sketch show, revealed Gosling as the host for the upcoming April 13 episode. This marks Gosling’s third stint as an “SNL” host, promising an evening of laughter and entertainment for viewers. Joining him as the musical guest will be the acclaimed Chris Stapleton, setting the stage for a memorable episode.
But before Gosling takes center stage, beloved “SNL” alum Kristen Wiig is set to make her triumphant return as a host on the April 6 episode. Wiig’s comeback, marking her fifth time hosting the show, could potentially see her induction into the prestigious Five-Timers Club, alongside comedy legends like Emma Stone, Tom Hanks, and Tina Fey.
Wiig’s tenure on “SNL” from 2005 to 2012 left an indelible mark on the show, and her return as a host has always been a highly anticipated event. With her arsenal of iconic characters and sketches, Wiig’s presence guarantees a night filled with laughter and nostalgia for fans.
The anticipation for Wiig’s return is palpable, and speculation is rife about which beloved characters or sketches she might bring back. From the excitable Sue to the quirky Target Lady, Wiig’s comedic range ensures an unforgettable evening.
As “SNL” takes a brief hiatus until March 30, fans eagerly await the return of the sketch comedy juggernaut, with upcoming host Ramy Youssef and musical guest Travis Scott. The show continues to captivate audiences with its blend of topical humor, celebrity hosts, and musical performances, airing on NBC at 11:30 p.m. EDT/8:30 p.m. PDT and streaming live on Peacock.
