"A little different for me" will always be legendary

[SidewalkCitizenLA]

Watching Kate break Ryan is always the best part! 😂😂😂

[tiffanystarbeck]

I freaking love when Ryan hosts. He can never keep it together and it's just gold. I love when he said " I'm just realizing the last time I was here I was wearing the same outfit and I do have other clothes" I'm literally dead 😂😂😂💀💀💀

[beccafeeney]

When he said “smooth down there” I was convinced he was going to say “like a Ken doll”

[xiaosha]

Kate staying in character when everyone sees her and screams and cheers is amazing. This skit just brought me so much delight.

[organizerbmo]

This skit dumped about 3 weeks of serotonin into my brain, so thank you writers

[pataflafla-pata]

"careful buddy last time I pulled that hard cop changed his mind and did write me a ticket" LMAO

[izzyahme]

"they're like a broken doorbell... no dong" ABSOLUTELY GENIUS.

[normairisrivera]

“Staring down the barrel of my south mouth” gets me every time 😂😂😂

[mintee]

Now I know the entire purpose of the cap is for Ryan to mask his laughter

[VukConner]

"I've killed more chubbies than diabetes" incredible line

[yanniesays]

"Kim who?"
"Jong Un"

dfq did not expect that 🤣

[eneobande]

Ryan Gosling is not even trying to hide his laughter anymore 😂

[Nunya_Bidness_]

"You must be hangin' out at a different bowlin' alley than we are..."😂

[rachface]

This is one of my favorite reoccurring sketches and I’m soooo glad she came back because he was hosting, amazing

[DK-zutt]

Kate McKinnon is pure Genius. How she could crawl between Gosling's legs and do that whole bit without breaking character was amazing. I was dying.

[bananascoaster]

'During this or forever?' is an underrated line

[SessRin]

"During this or forever?" Great question lol

[BettyVeronica.]

Kate McKinnon was such a welcome surprise!!

"South mouth" 😂😂😂😂💀

[steven]

Kate McKinnon has broken Gosling so many times over the years, he can't even look at her without laughing.
