\n\tIt seems Ryan Gosling<\/a>\u2018s penchant for breaking on Saturday Night Live is infectious, and tonight, the Project Hail Mary star and Season 51 breakout Ashley Padilla<\/a> were partners in crime: cracking up in tandem during two sketches.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe first of the night, about three dimwitted cyclopes<\/a> (Kenan Thompson, Mikey Day and Gosling), descended into chaos when Padilla began breaking character as a guardian of a hidden treasure, who, alongside Veronika Slowikowska, requires the correct answer to a riddle to advance to the fortune. <\/p>\n

\n\tWhat should be easy layups \u2014 a fill-in-the-blank-style questionnaire prompting answers like \u201cclock\u201d or \u201cwind\u201d \u2014 is repeatedly answered incorrectly with the word \u201chat.\u201d What\u2019s more: Gosling\u2019s cyclops keeps approaching Padilla, ogreishly calling her his wife.<\/p>\n

\n\tPadilla makes the sketch, her varying and exasperated intonations of \u201cstop\u201d and \u201cgo back\u201d drawing further breaks from Gosling and loud laughter from the audience.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut the most chaotic sketch was saved for later in the night, where the duo pair up again to portray a principal and teacher attempting to school an unruly class of students. However, Padilla\u2019s teacher and Gosling\u2019s principal\u2019s attempts are stymied when the high schoolers begin conspicuously passing along notes to each other.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe contents of these notes have been changed since rehearsal,\u201d flashed a prompt on screen, previewing the uproarious chuckles and giggles sure to come. As Padilla read about her teacher\u2019s sad attempts to solicit makeover tips from ChatGPT and Gosling read about his principal dejectedly missing 133 basketball shots, the two took turns laughing so hard they could not finish their sentences.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cClass dismissed!\u201d Padilla yelled out in closing out the sketch, to loud applause.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Friday, Gosling appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/a> to discuss his previous three hosting stints on the late-nighter. \u201cI get in trouble a lot for laughing on the show,\u201d he told the host, enumerating that he is often told: \u201c\u2018You laugh too much. You and Fallon.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd though breaking has often been viewed as a no-no on the Lorne Michaels-created comedic staple, the audience sure does love it (and the SNL<\/a> cast sure seems to be having a blast), especially when it\u2019s attached to Gosling\u2019s movie-star charisma<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It seems Ryan Gosling\u2018s penchant for breaking on Saturday Night Live is infectious, and tonight, the Project Hail…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":511048,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[124067,88,14069,12016],"class_list":["post-511047","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-ashley-padilla","tag-entertainment","tag-ryan-gosling","tag-snl"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/511047","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=511047"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/511047\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/511048"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=511047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=511047"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=511047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
