Ryan Gosling is set to host his fourth episode of Saturday Night Live next month, and the show will make history with the first-ever performance by the band Gorillaz. NBC Universal has confirmed that this notable event will occur on March 7, shortly after Gorillaz releases their new album, The Mountain. True to their innovative style, the album will showcase an impressive lineup of guest artists, including Sparks, Black Thought, Dennis Hopper, and IDLES.
In addition to his hosting duties, Gosling will promote his upcoming sci-fi film, Project Hail Mary, adapted from the novel by Andy Weir, the author renowned for The Martian. In this film, Gosling plays an astronaut who awakens alone on a spaceship, tasked with solving a catastrophic event that has transpired on Earth, while also befriending a quirky alien rock creature.
In other SNL news, Connor Storrie, known for his role in the acclaimed series Heated Rivalry, will make his hosting debut on February 28. This announcement comes on the heels of the show’s increasing global popularity, particularly after the Crave original series launched on HBO Max, where it has been breaking streaming records.
As the entertainment landscape continually evolves, the combination of Gosling’s star power and Gorillaz’s cutting-edge music promises a memorable night, appealing not only to fans of comedy and music but also to those looking forward to Gosling’s latest cinematic venture. The anticipation surrounding these events highlights the engaging atmosphere of live performances, making March a month to watch.
