That’s a pair I’d like to see work together again. There’s been a lot of talk about Timothée Chalamet and Pete Davidson’s comedic chemistry, but Beck Bennett played Timothée Chalamet’s dad three times in this episode and each time was better than the last.More thoughts on Saturday Night Live with Timothée Chalamet The animation department also deserves a lot of praise for this one.īest sketch of the night.
This was also his funniest role of the episode - the part where he yells at the horse to “git” was hysterical. Somehow, his voice was actually perfect for the part. Timothée Chalamet is obviously not a singer, but he really pulled this one off. This has to be up there with her Drew Barrymore character as one of the funniest impressions I’ve ever seen on Saturday Night Live. The best part, however, was definitely Chloe Fineman’s spot-on Timothée Chalamet impression. Timothée Chalamet did a very solid Harry Styles impression (I wasn’t too far off when I predicted he would act in a sequel to Styles’ “Sara Lee” sketch from last season), and Melissa Villaseñor sang as Billie Eilish, which is always excellent. This sketch was basically just a vehicle for celebrity impressions, and it worked pretty well. Ego Nwodim was delightful as usual, and she did a great job playing the equally delightful Dionne Warwick.

The best part came when Bennett pulled a beer out of nowhere and cracked it open at nine in the morning on Christmas day.īest line: “Yeah well it was beginning to look a lot like savings at my local Lexus dealer!” Saturday Night Live with Timothée Chalamet highlights: Dionne Warwick Talk Show It started with a solid premise (how come the wives in car commercials are never annoyed that their husbands bought a car without consulting them?), and Bennett did a great job of escalating the situation. There wasn’t anything surprising or groundbreaking about it, but it was just very well-made. This was a classic Saturday Night Live commercial parody, through and through. It looked like it was going to be the kind of “lowest common denominator” humor that SNL has mostly avoided this season. I’ll be honest, I was prepared to hate this sketch when it first started and I saw Beck Bennett and Cecily Strong with coronavirus particles on their heads.
Saturday Night Live with Timothée Chalamet highlights: Coronavirus Holiday Chalamet was more convincing than Davidson at playing the characters, but Davidson was much better at making them funny.Īll in all though, Chalamet did a commendable job as host, and I’d be happy to see him return to SNL soon. He acted opposite Pete Davidson in both sketches, and it served as a great example of the difference between being a great actor and a great sketch comedian. Unsurprisingly, Chalamet was at his best on Saturday Night Live when he could just be his endearing self, like in the monologue, or when he could really show off his acting chops, like in the best sketch of the night, “Tiny Horse.” He struggled more in sketches that required him to play over the top characters, like “Rap Roundtable” and “Sportsmax.” He also appeals to a wide demographic, since he’s a millennial superstar who’s mostly known for roles in Oscar-bait, dramatic films. Plus, his character in Lady Bird could certainly have come right out of an SNL sketch. While he isn’t known for comedic acting, he’s effortlessly likable and charming enough to be a great host. I was surprised to learn that Timothée Chalamet has never hosted Saturday Night Live before. Timothée Chalamet was fully committed (and charming as usual) in his Saturday Night Live hosting debut.
