Ryan Gosling had trouble controlling his laughter during his recent hosting gig on "Saturday Night Live."

Laughter often plagues actors or celebrities who have the honor of hosting "SNL." When Gosling got a chance to participate on the show as the guest host last week, he couldn't keep a straight face.

According to Variety, Gosling did fairly well at first, until his skit got a little too funny.

As a trained actor, Gosling has been in a few movies where the comedy has been well received. But in those projects, he would have received several attempts at the scene, allowing him to mess up and redo them with a straight face. But when the skit is done live, there is only one take, and that makes it all the more funny when even the character actor himself cannot keep from laughing.

The actor struggled in several skits on Friday, but the one that really sent him over the edge was an interview between NSA agents and several victims of alien abduction. Gosling played a victim, along with Cecily Strong and Kate McKinnon, while Aidy Bryant and Bobby Moynihan played the agents.

Strong and Gosling detailed their abductions in graceful, more majestic style, describing the experience as beautiful and God-like. But McKinnon had a story that was so far out there, that it seemed as though she was just intoxicated during the event and may have simply been molested.

When McKinnon began talking about her clothing during her abduction, Gosling seemed to lose his composure. McKinnon described only having a shirt on, but no pants.

"My coo-coo was out," McKinnon said, which started the ball rolling on Gosling's laugh attack.

Although he was able to deliver his lines after that, he was visibly straining to do so without laughing, knowing that the comedian was about to say something after him that would make him crack.
