Former SNL star Kevin Nealon isnt a big fan of seeing current castmembers break into laughter during sketches.

While the comedian and actor didnt name any of the cast directly, his comments came after a recent episode of the NBC sketch comedy series that saw host Ryan Gosling and featured player Ashley Padilla break character several times.

I never broke character on SNL, Nealon wrote on X. I knew how much time the writers put into those scripts. You dont want to be the one who throws it off. Lorne doesnt like when the cast breaks. Even if the audience laughs, it doesnt work for the sketch. If I could get through the Chippendales sketch, I could get through anything, he added, referencing the iconic season 16 skit with Chris Farley and Patrick Swayze.

Throughout the Project Hail Mary actors four times hosting SNL, including his most recent turn on March 7, hes been known to easily crack during the sketches. But it was the Passing Notes skit from that episode that had Gosling and Padilla breaking more than usual as SNL decided to prank them.

In the sketch (below), Gosling plays a high school principal who visits one of his teachers classes, played by Ashley Padilla, and they end up repeatedly intercepting notes being passed around by the students. However, as they read the notes aloud, they realize theyre actually embarrassing observations about themselves.

What led to Gosling and Padilla constantly breaking into laughter was the fact that the notes had been changed since rehearsal, leaving them surprised at what they would be reading.

The following day, Padilla took to her Instagram Story to thank the writers behind the sketch for the humorous moment. Thank you to Mikey, Streeter, and Alison Gates for absolutely destroying me on live television, she wrote, adding, P.S. Gosling is the funniest person on the planet.

Even though it was a planned bit during that show, there have been countless other times that SNL castmembers have broken character over the 51 seasons.

As for Nealon, he anchored the shows Weekend Update segment from1986to1995.
