Ryan Gosling’s viral SNL promo masterfully plays on his fourth hosting appearance, fooling fans into thinking he’s joining the elite Five-Timers Club. The clever teaser, featuring Gorillaz and a dazzling jacket, has sparked a social media frenzy, with fans declaring it ‘perfect’ for its nostalgic nods and sharp humor.
Ryan Gosling’s new SNL promo has fans in a chokehold, and for good reason. The actor’s latest teaser for his upcoming hosting gig is a masterclass in viral marketing, playing on his fourth time on the show to jokingly claim he’s joining the elite Five-Timers Club.
The Five-Timers Club, as defined by Deadline, includes hosts who have headlined the show at least five times. In the promo, Gosling is seen browsing a clothing rack, eventually selecting a jacket emblazoned with the number 5. He struts out in dark glasses, knocking over a staff member and blowing smoke rings, all while the song ‘Clint Eastwood’ by Gorillaz plays in the background.
Originally reported by Anwaya Mane on Mandatory, the promo has sparked a social media frenzy. Fans on Reddit and X are already calling it ‘perfect’, with one user writing, ’10/10 no notes’ and another declaring, ‘This is basically a perfect promo.’
The reaction is so strong that it’s become a trending topic. This isn’t just about the promo; it’s a strategic move to build hype for Gosling’s upcoming film, Project Hail Mary, set to release on March 20. The film, which he stars in and co-writes, has been generating significant buzz, and this promo is a clever way to connect his SNL appearance with his upcoming project.
But here’s the twist: Gosling is actually hosting for the fourth time, not the fifth. When a staff member reminds him, “This is your fourth time hosting,” he exclaims, “Oh my God, it’s just four!” But in the end, his actions declare that he doesn’t care, as he will take on hosting duties for the fourth time this weekend. This clever twist has only added to the fan enthusiasm, with many noting the nod to his actual hosting history.
