They also played their 25-year-old debut single &#8220;Clint Eastwood&#8221; with Del The Funky Homosapien. They were introduced by host Ryan Gosling, wearing a prosthetic cyclops eye from a previous sketch. It was the actor&#8217;s fourth time hosting SNL, not fifth, which was apparently news to him.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Early on in Gosling&#8217;s opening monologue, he noticed a familiar face in the crowd: Harry Styles, who&#8217;s pulling double duty on next week&#8217;s SNL episode to promote his new album <a href=\"https:\/\/stereogum.com\/2491395\/premature-evaluation-harry-styles-kiss-all-the-time-disco-occasionally\/reviews\/premature-evaluation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally<\/a>. Styles was playing it cool but Gosling took issue with the rest of the SNL cast and crew favoring the singer: &#8220;Get me to God&#8217;s country,&#8221; cast member Sarah Sherman said upon finding out Styles was in the audience, definitely in reference to an <a href=\"https:\/\/stereogum.com\/2302314\/morgan-wallen-mikey-madison-snl-goodnights\/news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">infamous SNL moment from last year<\/a>. Then Gosling led the cast in a rendition of Styles&#8217; hit &#8220;Sign Of The Times,&#8221; which just so happens to be featured in the movie Gosling&#8217;s promoting, Project Hail Mary. A big night for reviving artists&#8217; debut singles!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>In other music-related moments in the episode, James Austin Johnson shredded a little guitar during Weekend Update as a church bandleader. Reba McEntire caught a stray in a sketch about a disruptive wedding guest. In a pre-taped sketch, Gosling sang as an eccentric baker giving patrons a tour of his famous factory. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Mmm Betty the cat did a whoopsie<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Liam Gallagher (@liamgallagher) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/liamgallagher\/status\/2030584871089819716?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">March 8, 2026<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last night Gorillaz were the musical guest on SNL, marking Damon Albarn&#8217;s debut on the show.
