In the sketch, Gardner plays a moderator for a NewsNation livestream on the dangers of AI.
Her guest is an MIT professor played by Kenan Thompson.
After Thompson’s character points out the uncanny resemblance, Gardner says she doesnt know the cartoon.
Still, he requests that the man move to a different seat to accommodate the professor.
Gosling, trying his best not to laugh, agrees to switch places.
The two cast members resume their AI discussion, but Thompson’s character is once again thrown off.
She laughs for about 20 seconds, before carrying on with the script.
Not only okay with it but encouraged it.
Thats all the feedback Ive gotten since.
Gardner explained that she had seen him and also lost it then.
Mikey does seem to turn his head just a little bit and bug out his eyes, she recalled.
Its like hes doing a subtle acknowledgment.
Then the anxiety set in and I was like, Oh my God, was that okay?'
So many other writers and cast members came up and said, Good job.'
Im like, What?
I actually didnt do my job.'
