Quick Answer: Viewers can watch Ryan Gosling host Saturday Night Live online for free with trials to DirecTV Stream or fuboTV.
Get Free Trial at DirecTV Stream
Ryan Gosling will be bringing the Kenergy to Studio 8H tonight, when the Oscar-nominated star hosts this weekend’s episode of Saturday Night Live, airing on NBC and streaming online. But The Fall Guy and Barbie actor won’t be alone — country superstar Chris Stapleton will join Gosling as tonight’s musical guest. And if the episode’s teasers are any indication, tonight’s host is a pretty huge fan.
“Master Stapleton? ’tis I, Sir Gosling,” he says in the episode’s teaser clip, trying to figure out how to introduce himself to the singer. “That’s cool.” But Stapleton’s nowhere to be found in the dressing room, which leads Gosling to throw on his cowboy hat — á la Ken — as “White Horse” plays in the background.
Here’s how to stream this weekend’s SNL episode featuring Gosling and Stapleton (even if you’ve cut the cord).
