Ryan Gosling Laughs Off Note Switch Prank on SNL

0:00Reporting from The Daily News Now, I'm Corey with the latest entertainment headlines. Ryan Gosling hosted Saturday Night Live for the fourth time on the March 7th episode. During a sketch called Notepassing, the writers pulled off a sneaky trick on the 45-year-old actor. They changed the contents of some notes right before going live, catching everyone off guard. In the bit, Gosling played high school principal Mr. Wit while cast member Ashley Padilla was teacher Ms. Perry. Fans portrayed by Mikey Day, Marcello Hernandez, Cam Patterson, and Jane Wickline got busted passing notes during a talk on bullying rules. Gosling and Padilla struggled to keep straight faces, bursting into giggles throughout. He even hid behind his hand at one point, as an on-screen warning flashed that the notes had been swapped since rehearsal. Fans lit up social media with praise, calling the move brilliant and demanding more surprise elements and sketches. He said it led to the show's most genuine laughs.

1:00Earlier on the Tonight Show, with Jimmy Fallon, Gosling admitted he often breaks character on SNL. He joked that fans noticed his laughs and compare him to Fallon himself.
