The 43rd season of 'Saturday Night Live,' hosted by actor
Ryan Gosling, kicked off with a jazzy number.
During his opening
monologue, the 'LaLa Land' actor told the audience that he was thrilled to be
there and said, "I haven't been this excited since I saved jazz," a fact, which
the self-proclaimed white guy from Canada reiterates.
Later his
Oscar-winning co-star Emma Stone also surprised the audience by stepping in and
saying, "We saved jazz."
The show's opening featured Alec Baldwin as U.S.
President Donald Trump, Kate McKinnon as Jeff Sessions and Aidy Bryant as Sarah
Huckabee Sanders, reports E! Online.
The political sketch poked fun at
Trump's tweets and his responses to the crisis in Puerto Rico.
Earlier
this week the network announced that Chris Redd, Heidi Gardner and Luke Null had
signed on as the season 43's new featured players.
