I was so bothered by it 😭 I, in fact, found that it made it less funny. If I wasn't laughing aloud on my couch, seeing him break over something I don't find that funny was almost cringe. I also felt bad for the cast members because it felt like they felt a need to break too so as not to insult Ryan!!!!! I think the Beavis and Butthead saved it overall for me because Heidi's break was genuine and amazing. I am shook at your audience poll!!!???
I think goodwill towards the person hosting certainly plays a role. Like, Bill Hader, Kate McKinnon, Ryan Gosling, they're all almost universally liked, so it's easier to "forgive" them. If it were someone less well-liked, or as you say, someone less massively famous, it probably wouldn't play as well. And, it would be interesting to consider how POC or other people from other non-white, non-straight groups would be perceived if they did this! (Kate McKinnon is obviously gay, but still)
In response to the criticism I simply say: they could never make me hate you, Ryan Gosling
