Chalamet and

Ryan Gosling, but um, you know

I think the other way to look at it is I hosted all those times because I had some time on my hands at that

But I wanted to ask what do you remember most about your very first time hosting
00:30
Remember I was in the wardrobe box
00:32
Changing into my clothes for the good nights and they said, okay, it's good nights
00:36
And I said what and they go. Yeah, it's over and it went by like five minutes
00:42
It was crazy crazy
00:43
What is something that people don't realize about hosting SNL that you don't really know until you're actually doing it
00:50
Just try to become one of them
