Gosling’s SNL Five-Timer Dream Hits a Bump in Promo

Ryan Gosling hosts SNL this weekend, and a new promo has him chasing the idea of joining the Five-Timers Club (even snagging a First-Timers Club smoking jacket) as he roams Studio 8H and plays the big shot—until Mikey Day derails the fantasy by catching him riding a stuffed horse and teasing that he isn’t a five-timer yet; Gorillaz are the musical guests, and the NBC/Peacock broadcast airs March 7 at 11:30 p.m. ET.

Gorillaz Turn Grief Into a Global Spectacle on The Mountain

Pitchfork's review frames Gorillaz's ninth album The Mountain as an ambitious, grief-soaked, India-inspired concept record that threads unreleased material with a star-studded roster of living and deceased collaborators, including Proof, Black Thought, Asha Puthli, and Omar Souleyman.
