Last nights show was great. Gosling is so funny. I loved his monologue.

It doesn’t bother me when they break when it’s actually funny (last night was a lot though!) and some hosts just really are having so much fun you can tell they don’t take themselves seriously which is why the show is so intriguing to watch how they handle it
I do love SNL and always root for every cast to click.

It can be very, very annoying to other cast members and writers.
Imagine this: You are a relatively new SNL cast member. One of the writers finally wrote a skit you were perfect for. Some really funny amazing stuff happens at the end. But before that stuff happens, another cast member (oh, let's say Jimmy Fallon, because he was notorious for this), starts "breaking" ... and the audience roars in response to his un-contained laughter. They find it adorable. They find it funny. They love it. The amusing thing is now Jimmy Fallon "breaking," and the the hilarious end of the skit all but disappears in it. The writers' hard work? Doesn't shine. The new cast member? Fades into obscurity.
We actors call it upstaging. Chewing on the scenery. It's not appreciated.
They don’t seem to mind on the program. So maybe take it less seriously yourself?

My person. I agree 1,000%.
Jimmy Fallon was absolutely the WORST. He would “break” on the dumbest skits, giggling like a little girl when nothing remotely funny was going on, and then he’d sneak glances with the “cool kid” cast members (especially mean girls Amy Poehler and Tina Fey) as if they knew something you didn’t. It basically gaslit people into thinking the skits must be funny since these brilliant comedian are cracking up.
He employs the same strategy on his night show. Always cracking up to distract from the fact that he’s not that funny.
That was a very long time ago, my dude.

Who do you think was the worst when it came to breaking characters?
Jimmy Fallon or Pete Davidson?
I think the fact that Pete broke in 95% of his sketches made him even funnier as a comedian.

Yes Ryan Gosling is like the only guest host that makes all the regular cast break character in their skits.
He even gets Mikey Day to break character which doesn’t happen too often.
My favorite sketch of course was the Beavis ➕ Butthead skit last season.
Last night’s episode was really funny - - most especially the skit where both Ryan and Ashley Padilla had to read aloud from the student’s notes.
Unbeknownst to them, the contents of the notes had been changed w/out their prior knowledge so what they were reading aloud was stuff they were hearing for the first time!! 😃😂🥲
One of my favorite skits by far.
Oh and add to that, two live performances by the Gorrilaz and last night’s show was five stars!

He is delightful. Funny, charming and self-deprecating.

The breaking is often funnier than the entire skit!
Yeah ... for you.
Um, SNL hasn't been funny in years but you do you boo!

Not funny in the slightest. These deluded "comedians" are so high off their own supply it's insane.
