It’s official: Ryan Gosling<\/a> and longtime Saturday Night Live<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>cast member<\/a>\u00a0Mikey Day<\/a> have amazing chemistry \u2014 even when they’re not performing together as men who resemble a certain animated duo<\/a>.<\/p>\n In a February 14 video chat shared by Gosling’s wife, actress Eva Mendes<\/a>, the two actors’ bromance is on full display \u2014 and fans can’t get enough of it. At the top of their convo, Gosling said he just wanted to wish his buddy Day a happy “Pal-entine’s Day.” But things quickly went off the rails when Day realized the chat was in fact a thinly-veiled attempt at promoting Gosling’s upcoming movie, Project Hail Mary<\/em>.<\/p>\n “Happy PALentine\u2019s Day to @mikeyfuntime and all the other bro homies out there! \ud83d\ude02\u2665\ufe0f,” Mendes captioned.<\/p>\n RELATED: <\/b>Click Here to Stream Any Episode of\u00a0<\/b>Saturday Night Live\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n RELATED: Ryan Gosling Is Returning to SNL Amid Three Back-to-Back New Episodes: Details<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The conversation \u2014 with both stars clearly “in” on the joke \u2014 is so well-acted (save for some typical Gosling breaks, of course) that you’d think this was an honest-to-goodness candid video chat between the real-life friends.<\/p>\n “Ryan, what up, dude? You’re hosting SNL <\/em>again<\/a>, I’m so excited!” Day said at the start of the video, referring to Gosling’s hosting gig scheduled for March 7. “Beavis and Butt-head 2, perhaps?”<\/p>\n “Perhaps. But before that, I’m actually calling not to talk about work, but just to say happy Palentine’s Day, I love you,” Gosling said.<\/p>\n “…Okay,” Day deadpanned, after a confused few moments of silence.<\/p>\n From there, the chat devolved as Gosling pivoted to his real reason for calling \u2014 promoting his upcoming film in the form of greeting cards and random Project Hail Mary<\/em> plot points that Day would have no reference point for.<\/p>\n “Sorry, what is this?” Day finally asked. “Is this like a marketing thing for your movie or something?”<\/p>\n “Yeah, but you were excited, right? You were saying, it comes out on March 20,” Gosling said, keeping up the joke.<\/p>\n “I did not say that,” Day shot back flatly.<\/p>\n RELATED: SNL’s “Papyrus” Sketch with Ryan Gosling Made James Cameron “Double Down” on the Font<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The full conversation is well worth watching, and serves a perfect amuse-bouche ahead of Gosling’s March 7 SNL hosting gig, which will mark the star’s fourth time as host.<\/p>\n New episodes of\u00a0Saturday Night Live<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>air at 11:30 ET\/10:30 CT\/8:30 PT on NBC<\/a> and Peacock<\/a>, streaming next-day on Peacock.<\/p>\n In addition to returning Season 50 performers<\/a>\u00a0including Ashley Padilla<\/a>, James Austin Johnson<\/a>, and longest-running cast member Kenan Thompson<\/a>, the show welcomed five new Featured Players<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0Season 51<\/a>\u00a0in October 2025: Tommy Brennan, Jeremy Culhane, Ben Marshall, Kam Patterson<\/a>, and Veronika Slowikowska<\/a>.<\/p>\n The season’s Hosts<\/a> have included a mix of returning fan favorites like Amy Poehler<\/a> and Melissa McCarthy<\/a>\u00a0as well as first-timers like former Sabrina Carpenter<\/a> in a double-duty turn and actor Josh O’Connor.
