Ryan Gosling will notch his fourth Saturday Night Live hosting gig next month, and with him will be the first ever SNL performance of Gorillaz, NBC Universal announced.
The show will take place on March 7, just days after the band releases its new album, The Mountain. In typical Gorillaz fashion, the album will feature a lot of guest performers, including Sparks, Black Thought, Dennis Hopper, and IDLES.
As for Gosling, he'll be there ahead of Project Hail Mary, a sci-fi movie based on a book by Andy Weir (author of The Martian) in which Gosling plays an astronaut who wakes up alone on a space ship, with the realization he's meant to find a solution to a terrible event that happened on Earth. Also, he makes friends with a little alien rock guy.
In more SNL news, Heated Rivalry's Connor Storrie was announced to host as a first-timer on February 28, following the global popularity of the Crave original series which debuted on HBO Max for US audiences, and continues to break streaming records.
