00:00If you needed any more evidence that the SNL 50th celebration was a massive thing in show business
00:07It was crazy
00:08Here is all the evidence you need
00:10Two people who have been intentionally avoiding big media events and reporters showed up there
00:18And those two people would be Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively
00:22Who walked in, went down the arrival line, stood for photos
00:27They didn't answer questions there, not that we expected them to
00:30Nobody really got questions there
00:32But, you know, obviously they know the drill on this thing
00:36And they are smiling the way Justin Baldoni is smiling in Hawaii
00:40Right
00:41Not a care in the world
00:42We are unbothered
00:43There are no issues here
00:45We're not concerned about these lawsuits
00:47And we're happy to go to trial
00:49And everyone's...
00:50I gotta tell you, they even...
00:51Not only did they walk down the arrival line and smile for cameras
00:55But they clearly played off of the whole controversy and the legal battle
00:59Well, he did
01:00In the special
01:00Well, she did too
01:01She had a role in it too
01:02This was the moment during the special where it came up
01:06I have a question
01:07Oh, hey, Ryan Reynolds
01:08Hey, hey
01:12Ryan Reynolds, how's it going?
01:14Great
01:15Hi, what are you rehearsing?
01:19Well, that was it
01:21Yeah, that was it
01:22It was a little subtle
01:24But it was there
01:26And certainly the look on Blake's face
01:28And by the way, this was obviously clearly a scripted thing
01:31They all knew what was going to happen
01:33She's smiling like, ah
01:35And then looks shocked at him saying that
01:37She knew what was going to happen
01:38It's scripted
01:39Welcome to Holland, folks
01:40Ripping off the band-aid for them
01:41This was like, we know we have to address this
01:43Because they are very public people
01:44They go to a lot of events
01:45So this is just...
01:46We're going to acknowledge this
01:47We're going to make a joke about it
01:48And we're going to move on
01:49Vanessa from Frankfurt, Germany
01:51And in my opinion, the joke was so highly unfunny
01:54Especially if Blake, his wife
01:56Was actually sexually harassed on set
01:59And I know you guys said the face drop was scripted and stuff
02:02But I do think that laughing about it and making jokes
02:05Is still kind of off-putting and weird
02:07It is
02:08The fact that they were willing to make a joke about it
02:10You could read that as
02:12This isn't that serious to them
02:14That's how some people will read it
02:15You can read it a million different ways
02:17But it's also just them saying
02:18We got to get on with our lives
02:19I love...
02:20God, there's Steven Spielberg
02:21I loved the show
02:22Cher
02:22Cher is there
02:23I just loved the show
02:24I thought it was amazing to see all these people
02:29That, you know, it was more...
02:32It was breathtaking to me
02:33And much more so than the Oscars
02:36And not...
02:36Because they all have a connection
02:38They all have a connection
02:39It didn't seem like an ego-driven thing, right?
02:41Because not everybody had huge roles
02:44And a lot of people didn't have any role
02:46Other than sitting in the audience
02:47And everybody was happy to be there
02:48I thought it was great
02:49I thought it was really good
