Ryan Gosling: adjusts tie Nervous, man! Jazz or bust, right?
Come on, Ryan! Jazz ain't just for cats. It's cool! It's got soul! And if you start with Miles Davis, you can rule the world!
Ryan Gosling: Haha, you're right, man! Let's take it back to Kind of Blue. That album's a classic!
Yeah, it's like a time machine. Takes you back to when jazz was king. Now, who ya gonna make fun of in your monologue?
Ryan Gosling: leans in conspiratorially Well, I was thinking of making fun of those pretentious coffee snobs. You know, the ones who claim they can taste the terroir in every cup?
Ha! Go for it, Ryan. But don't forget to throw in some metal jokes too. We gotta keep the heavy metal heads happy!
Ryan Gosling: smirks Oh, don't worry, my friend. I'll make sure to throw in some metal jokes that'll have even the most devoted headbangers laughing.
Alright, Ryan. Jazz, metal, and coffee snobs. You're a regular comedic genius! Let's see if the bosses agree!
Ryan Gosling: takes a deep breath Alright, here goes nothing! steps onto the stage Hello, everybody! It's great to be here tonight!
laughs Smash cut to the audience. They're hyped, ready for the monologue. Ryan Gosling owns the stage, killing it with humor!
Ryan Gosling: with a mischievous grin You know, it's been said that jazz is the only art form that originated in the United States. But have you ever heard of a jazz band playing at a heavy metal concert? I didn't think so either until I saw one recently... pauses for effect...and let me tell you, it was a real headbanger! audience laughs and applauds
hysterical laughter Oh, man! That's gold, Ryan! The look on the metalheads' faces must've been priceless!
Ryan Gosling: raises an eyebrow Haha, you betcha! Their faces were so serious, they probably thought I was about to drop some epic guitar solo.
Classic! Bet Leno or Fallon could've hosted better, though.
Ryan Gosling: winks Hey, I may not have hosted before, but I've had my fair share of sketch comedy experience.
Right, Ryan. Your movie career took off ages ago! La La Land, Drive, The Notebook... What's next? An Oscar?!
Ryan Gosling: chuckles Haha, an Oscar would be nice, but I'm not holding my breath. You know what I am excited about though? This weekend!
What's happening this weekend, Ryan? Another epic jazz battle?
Ryan Gosling: grins Haha, no jazz battles this weekend, my friend. But I am excited because my buddy and I are going to do something epic... we're gonna drive a taxi through the city streets like a madman! audience cheers
A taxi race? Sounds insane! Hope no cop gives you a ticket!
Ryan Gosling: raises an eyebrow Haha, no tickets here! Trust me, my buddy and I know how to navigate the streets like pros.
Just remember, Ryan, driving a taxi ain't like singing in La La Land. Real drivers got real skills!
Ryan Gosling: smirks Haha, don't you worry, my friend. I've got more skills behind the wheel than you can imagine.
Sweet! Can't wait to see your stunts, eh? This week's gonna be lit!
Ryan Gosling: throws a playful wink Haha, you bet your ass it's gonna be lit! Get ready for some serious wheel action, my friend!
You got it, Ryan! Can't wait to see you on the big screen again!
Ryan Gosling: smiles Haha, I appreciate the support, my friend! Make sure to catch me on the big screen again real soon.
Definitely, Ryan! By the way, when's your next movie coming out?
Ryan Gosling: leans in closer, lowering his voice Well, my friend, I've got a little something coming up in the next few months.
Oh? Like a new La La Land?
Ryan Gosling: raises an eyebrow and smirks Haha, not quite like La La Land, but it's gonna be just as epic!
Epic? Like a space odyssey? Or a western?
Ryan Gosling: raises his eyebrows playfully Haha, not quite like a space odyssey or a western, my friend. Let's just say it's gonna be a wild ride.
