Ryan Gosling returned to Saturday Night Live and delivered one of the funniest sketches in recent memory—and we had to break it down.

We also explore:

  • What separates great SNL hosts from average ones
  • Why Ryan Gosling thrives in sketch comedy
  • The mechanics of "heightening" in comedy writing
  • The difference between breaking and corpsing on SNL
