Washington [US], January 24: Following his Oscar nomination announcement, Timothée Chalamet, 29, is celebrating a major milestone in his career—becoming the youngest actor since James Dean to earn his second Best Actor nomination. As he prepares to host Saturday Night Live (SNL), the show released a fun new promo playing off his excitement.
In the promo, Chalamet is seen with SNL cast member Sarah Sherman, who congratulates him on his Oscar nod before joking, “Did you know I have an Oscar?” Taken aback, Chalamet humorously admits that he didn’t even know Sherman had been in a movie, delivering a lighthearted twist.
Chalamet will not only host SNL but also serve as the musical guest for the night. As the star of A Complete Unknown, where he displayed his musical talents, fans can look forward to a performance that could include some Dylan tracks.
This promo highlights Chalamet’s playful sense of humor as he gears up for his big SNL appearance, which comes on the heels of his Oscar nomination. In the first promo released earlier, Chalamet joined in on the viral “Chalamet look-alike” trend, enlisting some doppelgangers to help with his SNL duties.
Fans can tune in to see Chalamet on SNL this Saturday at 11:30 pm ET/8:30 pm PT on NBC.
