The “Barbenheimer” rivalry never ends. Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt have once again caused laughter on “Saturday Night Live”.
Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt perform Taylor Swift covers
Instead of a simple monologue, the actor and actress opened the show with a cover of Taylor Swift’s (34) hit “All Too Well”, which can also be heard in their new film “The Fall Guy” – but on “SNL” there was “(Ken’s Version)” including dancing Barbies and Oppenheimer figures. “I ripped Venice Beach apart, it’s true. My clothes were tight, but something about that spandex felt so right,” Gosling sings to the tune of “All Too Well,” continuing, “I got my rollerblades in this big one “I forgot about the pink house, but I still have the big fur coat and I’m going to wear it now.”
After a few seconds he is interrupted by co-star Emily Blunt: “No, no, no,” she complains. “What are you doing? We had a whole monologue planned for our new movie ‘The Fall Guy.’ And instead you’re singing about Ken again […] Guys, I don’t mean to be so harsh, but Ryan: It’s time to move on.” He replies glumly, “I know, I know, you’re right.” But then he adds, “But I just can’t do it.” and continues with the song.
Only when Emily Blunt pulls a glass bottle over her co-star’s head and says, “You’re a stuntman, you can take that off and look how cool that was,” does Ryan Gosling understand: “Yeah, that was pretty cool. But Do you know who would think that was cool too? Blunt then hits him with a wooden chair and shouts: “Ken is dead! Ken is dead!”
Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling all nostalgic
Gosling then reminds Blunt how beautiful the past summer was: “Emily, you were in ‘Oppenheimer’ […] Don’t you ever miss it?” Then she breaks out into song: “Father of the atom bomb and a bottle of Jack, I was once the alcoholic wife of a man in a hat,” she sings to Swift’s melody. “I talked to Albert Einstein, drank a margarita with Sir Christopher Nolan and the Bhagavad Gita.”
Then the cover becomes a duet: “And I miss all my Kens,” Gosling sings, Blunt adds “And I miss Cillian Murphy,” and then both: “And you should really see ‘The Fall Guy,'” but they add with a bit of nostalgia: “I just can’t seem to let go of Ken. Because here we are again in 2023, it was the ‘Barbenheimer’ summer, it was just you and me. Drunk on beer, no body hair, now it’s time Time to say goodbye to Ken. We were Kitty and Ken […] We have to admit our press tour is a mess, now it’s time to say goodbye to Ken – and Kitty.”
The two then blow out an electric candle with an image of Ken as a saint with sad expressions on their faces, but it lights up again shortly afterwards. “Oh my God, it’s turned on again,” Emily Blunt exclaims. Ryan Gosling replied: “That’s right. Because Ken will never die!”
