How to Watch

Watch the Season 50 premiere of Saturday Night Live September 28 at 11:30/10:30c on NBC and next day on Peacock.  

That's the question you might be asking yourself when you tune into SNL this weekend and see Ryan Gosling hosting the late-night sketch series. NBC is re-airing Gosling's most recent SNL hosting gig — from April 13 — an episode that was a true standout of the season.

From his "Close Encounters" cold open reunion with Kate McKinnon to the instantly iconic "Beavis and Butt-Head" sketch that hilariously brought the animated metal heads to life, the episode had it all. There was even a sequel to the 2017 digital short, "Papyrus," with Gosling reprising his role as a man haunted by Avatar's baffling font choice.

Gosling's return to the Studio 8H stage was also ratings hit. The Barbie star's episode was the top-rated show of SNL's 49th season, and was the no. 1 episode of the season in social video views (107.3 million, if you're curious). And on SNL's YouTube channel, "Beavis and Butt-Head" was the most-watched sketch of the season with 16 million views.
