Pete Davidson crowns Ryan Gosling GOAT Saturday Night Live host: “I hate him so much”
Pete Davidson is crowning Ryan Gosling with the kind of SNL-hosting praise that says it all — and he tops it off with a funny confession.
Asked to name the greatest Saturday Night Live host during Complex’s rapid-fire Goat Talk, Pete Davidson didn’t hesitate—then turned the praise into a bit. Sitting beside Nicholas Hoult while promoting their new movie How to Rob a Bank, the former SNL cast member picked Ryan Gosling and immediately started mock-griping about why.
“He’s like really hot and then super talented, but then he’s like really funny,” Davidson said, adding, “He’s he’s perfect. I hate him so much.”
Davidson kept piling on “offenses,” saying Gosling has razor-sharp comedic timing, a real comedy education that lets him drop deep-cut references you don’t expect from a movie star, and—just to make it worse—he’s genuinely nice. Hoult nodded along and agreed with the choice.
The Goat Talk moment landed as Davidson and Hoult made the press rounds for their heist drama. How to Rob a Bank is set to hit theaters on November 13, 2026 .
Bond talk on the carpet
Later at the New York premiere, an E! News interviewer brought up the long-simmering 007 rumors with Hoult. Davidson joked he’d be the first American James Bond, then immediately handed the tux to Hoult, saying everyone’s rooting for him and calling him the best guy for the job. Director David Leitch echoed the sentiment at the event, telling Variety Hoult would make an “amazing Bond.”
Hoult has reportedly screen-tested for the next Bond movie at Amazon MGM, according to multiple outlets. Others said to have tested include:
- Robert Pattinson
- Callum Turner
- Jack Lowden
- Josh O’Connor
Reports suggest a decision could come before Thanksgiving, though nothing has been confirmed.
How to Rob a Bank opens in theaters November 13, 2026.
