Timothée Chalamet returned to host Saturday Night Live (SNL) for the third time, delivering a memorable performance that combined humor, self-deprecation, and musical talent. The Oscar-nominated actor didn’t shy away from poking fun at his past award show losses, making it a central theme of his opening monologue. Chalamet also took the stage as the night’s musical guest, showing a multifaceted side to his creativity.
His dual role on SNL gave fans a glimpse of his comedic timing and love for music, creating a balance of entertainment that resonated with audiences. With jokes about his struggles in awards season and a heartfelt musical performance, Chalamet’s appearance was both relatable and refreshing.
Timothée Chalamet’s opening monologue:
The actor opened the show by addressing his modest facial hair growth, a recurring joke throughout his career. "This is my third time hosting Saturday Night Live," he said, "but the first time hosting it with a little stache and a little goatee." With a close-up of his sparse stubble, he humorously added, "That’s 37 hairs right there." This playful nod to past roasts, including jabs at the Golden Globes, set the tone for the evening.
Chalamet jokingly referred to his subpar record at award shows, saying, "I just keep losing, and each time it gets harder to pretend it doesn't hurt."
The audience was treated to a montage of his exaggeratedly disappointed reactions as competitors like Gary Oldman and Mahershala Ali claimed victories. The comedic skit culminated in a faux acceptance speech that was hilariously interrupted by SNL cast member Kenan Thompson, who swooped in to "accept" an imaginary award.
