In 2009, a year into their marriage, Ryan Reynolds hostedSaturday Night Livefor the first and only time (to date) in his career. TheDeadpoolactor who has become so infamous in the world of comedy, delivered a monologue,performed a sketch, and bid goodnight to the audience – all while Johansson stood by his side, supporting her beau. Meanwhile, her impressive cameo role drew cheers from the crowd who were more than happy to welcome her back.

While Ryan Reynolds’s only SNL appearance may have a romantic connotation to it,Blake Lively‘s SNL history is colored bybad performances and poor reviews. Not only was her past gig criticized for being painfully unfunny and boring, but she had to step back from her upcoming hosting duties as well amid the alleged smear campaign drama againstIt Ends With Usco-starJustin Baldoni.

According to Blake Lively’s legal complaint, Baldoni has repeatedly created situations on set that could be construed as “disturbing” and directed comments at her that made Lively “feel ogled and exposed” and “deeply uncomfortable.” As a result of the negative response to the drama, Lively“did not believe she could proceed with public appearances or events without being forced to openly discuss what happened on set.”[viaDeadline]
