Ryan Gosling hosted Saturday Night Live on March 7, but found himself sharing the spotlight with Harry Styles, who made a surprise cameo ahead of his own hosting and musical guest appearance next week.
Styles Crashes Gosling’s Monologue
During Gosling’s opening monologue, he acknowledged Styles’ presence in the audience, prompting a camera cut to the former One Direction star. Styles explained he was attending to “watch and gain a feel for it” before hosting the show on March 14. This will not be Styles’ first time hosting SNL; he previously hosted in 2019.
The sketch playfully addressed Styles’ presence, with Gosling joking about his “coolness” and a crew member being revealed as a Styles fan. The incident occurred as Gosling was preparing a musical number.
New Album and Upcoming Performances
Styles’ cameo coincided with the release of his new album, ‘Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally,’ which received a four-star review from NME, described as his most exploratory work to date. The lead single, ‘Aperture,’ draws inspiration from LCD Soundsystem.
Styles also performed the album in full at Manchester’s Co-op Live, his first full show in almost three years and gave ‘Aperture’ its live debut at the BRITs 2026 the previous weekend. The Manchester performance was filmed by Netflix for a concert film, Harry Styles. One Night In Manchester., released today.
