Ryan Gosling with Kate McKinnon in the cold open, then with Emily Blunt.

I'll post video when I find it.

Editing - Here's the complete cold open:

And the monologue:

1. Ryan Gosling and Kate McKinnon?! OMG!

Tell me they did another alien abduction skit!

[nolabear]

2. Yes. In SPADES.

[W_HAMILTON]

3. OMG, I can't wait for clips to come out!

If anyone wonders what we are talking about, here is the original skit:

And the next one:

Can't wait to see the one from tonight!

Tonight was no exception.

7. This is the best SNL in years.

[nolabear]

9. I've laughed out loud more than I have in ages.

[highplainsdem]

10. Same here. And I really needed the laughs. We all did.

12. How many years have you been asleep?

lol

Oh well.... to each their own,
but I never cracked a smile, and left early.

Thought it was the LAMEST cold open I had seen in years... and I have been awake

11. I thought that 'cold open' SUCKED more than any I have seen lately....

Didn't know who those people were supposed to BE,
(although the one on the right looked like Sara Palin),
and I got too bored half-way through, and moved on.....

Pffft.

13. I found it slightly more amusing than SNL skits

of late. But not a best ever opening. Not even close.

[nolabear]

14. It's tough not being in on the joke.

That one has a long SNL history. If you get it, it’s hilarious.

15. It's a sketch they have done before

Not supposed to be anyone in particular. Two people abducted by aliens experience light and love, and the third (Miss Rafferty) has a very different experience.

Guess it doesn't tickle your funny bone.
