For movie stars, I can see the appeal of dating someone who works at Saturday Night Live. SNL people are celebrities but not crazy-famous. They’re well-connected but not the most “important” people in the room. They’re probably pretty funny too. Ben Affleck is dating a talent booker at SNL. Scarlett Johansson is dating Colin Jost, an on-air talent and writer on SNL. And now Emma Stone has an SNL boyfriend as well!
Emma Stone has a new man in her life: She’s dating “SNL” writer and segment director Dave McCary, as exclusively revealed on “Page Six TV.” McCary’s just the latest “SNL” staffer to date a Hollywood star to appear on the show. Ben Affleck’s dating show producer Lindsay Shookus, and “Weekend Update” anchor Colin Jost is seeing Scarlett Johansson after she hosted the show and later made a cameo as Ivanka Trump. Page Six exclusively revealed they were caught kissing at an “SNL” afterparty in May after she guest-starred on the show.
Stone — who stars as Billie Jean King in “Battle of the Sexes” — hosted the NBC comedy sketch show last December, but she also appeared as a surprise guest this month for its season premiere when her “La La Land” co-star Ryan Gosling hosted. She then attended the afterparty at hotspot Tao. McCary’s worked at “SNL” since 2014.
The 32-year-old also directed this year’s quirky indie movie, “Brigsby Bear,” starring “SNL” comic Kyle Mooney, who’s also a childhood pal. McCary and Stone were spotted together at the movie’s premiere in June. Stone, 28, split in 2015 from her boyfriend Andrew Garfield, with whom she starred in “The Amazing Spider-Man” in 2012. There was speculation over the summer that they were rekindling their romance, but the purported fling seemingly fizzled.
It’s worth noting that Emma Stone lives full-time in New York, not LA. Emma has an apartment in New York, but she’s not really down with, like, New York nightlife. She’s not falling out of New York Ubers at 3 am, is what I’m saying. She probably doesn’t meet a lot of interesting single guys her age, so I sort of understand how she could have met Dave McCary and something pinged. Also: man, does he seem like her “type,” right? She likes her men to look a little bit nerdy and a little bit intense. A hipster with ambition, that seems like her type. (She also seems to go for guys with dark hair and dark eyes.)

Emma annoys me, but he is cute. Much better than Andrew Garfield.
She annoys me too her and Margot Robbie and yes even Ashley Judd i said it!
I think she’s talented and lovely; and yet, I too, find her really annoying. I think “Aloha” is when I decided she gave me hives.
I think Dave resembles Andrew Garfield quite alot. She does have a type.
He’s totally cute.
Agree.
Super cute, as is Emma. Very into this.
He’s cute. Read about this relationship in a blind a few weeks ago. If they are happy then cool
I’m bummed, to be honest. I like Andrew and have wanted them to get back together. Oh, well. I’m really curious who he’s going to date next.
I’ve heard that his a little shit but I guess I only heard negative things about him.
I think I read this first on ONYD yesterday and it really annoyed me how people were mocking him for his looks, or mocking her for liking “ugly guys”. It was the same thing with Cameron Diaz husband. The judgment for something so stupid and petty was upsetting to me. It’s like “you can do better” is just about the looks, which for self-called progressive women seems really odd to me.
I had to rant, Sorry:/
That being said, I’m happy for her. I didn’t really like Garfield, but I appreciate people who seem to value interesting, maybe even a bit neurotic girls/guys:D And he must be witty and smart to have the job he has. You go Emma!
Whats the problem? Women are visual. Its not progressive to deny that and its usually women who date down in terms of looks. It should be way more normal for women to expect more of men physically. Ugly dude and good looking woman is patriarchy in a nutshell.
Specifically for white men. I mean have you seen Taylor Swifts boyfriend? And you know what song thats supposedly about him is called, right?
And yeah she can do a whole lot better than that guy.
Thank you! It should not be the end of the world to admit she is better looking have you seen how vocal people are when the guy is better looking?
I agree with you in principle. But I don’t wish the world to become fully superficial and women to do what guys so often do. Unless you believe less pretty people don’t deserve to be loved and respected because of their looks. Men and women should be able to love and be loved no matter how they look.
And it’s ok to comment, but I don’t appreciate the tone and the judgment about this. Doing a lot better has nothing to do with looks and this is valid for guys and girls.
There is no difference between what men and women find attractive. Its all a social construct that keeps women from openly admitting it. Women already do what guys “often do”.
Antoher factor is how can a man who looks like this even for one second have the confidence to date a Hollywood star? Thats something to think about.
Why shouldn’t he and why shouldn’t a less pretty woman date a really handsome man? Shouldn’t she have the confidence because as an ugly woman she “isn’t allowed”? How many guys and girls feel embarrassed to date less attractive people because of that mindset? Because of the judgment that comes with it? How fair or desirable is that? That’s what I’m focusing on here.
Really? Huh. I saw the picture of him and thought ‘Rowr’. I suspect women are generally allowed a wider range of taste preferences. Apparently though men in secret have wider tastes:

Maybe women are less likely to try to pretend?
Cute! A bit bummed that she hasn’t gotten back with Andrew, but I guess it wasn’t meant to be.
All these kinda nerds on SNL get all these hot celebrities from their celebrity guest stints-I think that’ hilarious.
She has a type.
Ah to be a below average looking white man. Great job, gorgeous girlfriend.
He doesn’t seem cute to me. He seems downright handsome.
Right, WATP? He could lose the neckbeard, and maybe he’s not “movie star” handsome, but he’s real life handsome, which I think is better. Not so perfect, but very attractive.
This is such an unpleasant comment, why should his looks matter for his job? Are you suggesting he’s not good looking enough to be a director?
“Brigsby Bear” was a really good film.
lol, I’m not seeing any of this “cute”. At all (he looks like Sam the Eagle to me). But hey, I’m not dating him so who cares?
I found both her and Gosling to be very meh in La La Land and frankly, I think the picture sucked (I also say this as a rabid music fan of Fred and Ginger). However, I saw Stone in The Battle of the Sexes and she was so good in it, I was really impressed and loved her performance. I wish she hadn’t worked with Woody Allen. Her ingenue roles should just stop. Give her real woman roles and she will be spectacular, in my opinion. I’d like to see her in more kick-ass, powerful women stories. She should go in the direction of great actresses like Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore, Nicole Kidmann (yes, I said that) and not the Tinkerbell- waif helpless little thing the sexist, predatory Hollywood male bigwigs love to promote and exploit.
