Quick Glance: Funny Moments with Ryan Gosling and Beavis at SNL

During a television segment on artificial intelligence, the cast of Saturday Night Live had difficulty keeping a straight face as Ryan Gosling and Mikey Day appeared as Beavis and Butt-Head.

Gosling was dressed as Beavis and sat behind Heidi Gardner's character. The costumes of Gosling and Day brought laughter to the cast and the actors themselves.

Heidi Gardner struggled to deliver her lines when she saw Gosling in his Beavis outfit. When Day showed up as Butt-Head, it was even harder for her to stay serious. The entire cast fought with laughter as the sketch continued.

Ryan Gosling is celebrated for his role as Ken in Barbie and has appeared in successful films like Drive and La La Land. A live-action adaptation of Beavis and Butt-Head with him is currently not in the works.

Seth MacFarlane Foundation Teams With Martin Scorsese’s Film Foundation To Restore Its First-Ever Collection Of Animated Pics

Quick Glance: Seth MacFarlane & Martin Scorsese Restore Vintage Animated Shorts

Seth MacFarlane & Martin Scorsese join forces to restore vintage animated shorts, with some set to premiere at the TCM Classic Film Festival.

Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane and Goodfellas director Martin Scorsese have teamed up to fund the restoration of historically significant animated shorts from the 1920s to 1940s.

The restored animated shorts mainly come from Max and Dave Fleischer, best known for their work on Superman, Popeye the Sailor, Betty Boop, and Koko the Clown. Funded by the Seth MacFarlane Foundation, the restorations used unique original pre-print elements and/or print sources, mostly nitrate, held at UCLA Film & Television Archive.

Martin Scorsese is a strong advocate for restoring forgotten films and emphasizes the importance of preserving cinematic heritage. Some of these restored shorts will premiere at the 2024 TCM Classic Film Festival, with Seth MacFarlane providing a personal introduction.
