This SNL skit was so funny, even the host couldn't hold back his laughter

They couldn't keep it together!

Few things send audiences into greater hysterics than when a "Saturday Night Live" performance reminds of the dangers of live comedy.

During the Ryan Gosling-hosted SNL episode, audiences were treated to one such moment, when the popular movie star couldn't keep his giggles under wraps.

Gosling, Kate McKinnon and Cecily Strong play small-town southerners who come in contact with a UFO.

When recounting their experience to government investigators, they keep laughing every time Kate McKinnon tells a joke.

In contrast to her friends, McKinnon's character didn't have a positive encounter with the aliens, especially when they touched her "knockers."
