Timothée Chalamet is enlisting his lookalikes to help him pull double duty.Saturday night Live” this weekend.
In a promo skit for the episode, during which he would be both host and musical guest (playing songs from the Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown”), Chalamet confessed: “I’ve never done this before. I have to be’snl‘Host and musical guest in the same week, so it’s a lot of work. And I want to focus on the songs, so I’ve brought in some help to handle all the hosting duties.”
This is followed by four Chalamet doubles, including Miles Mitchell, who won a New York lookalike contest Chalamet crashes himself Back in October. Each dressed in a different Timmy era – there’s the “Wonka” Timmy, the Timmy at the Paris premiere of “A Complete Unknown” (where he wore a pink skinny scarf), the regular Timmy (?) and, of course, Bob Dylan is Timmy.
The lookalikes are shown handling some of Chalamet’s “SNL” assignments, including meeting with the writers, working on his monologue and listening to Mickey Day brag about hosting “Is It Cake”. And, when he forgets to show up for a “Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” interview, a Paris lookalike goes in his place – much to Fallon’s dismay.
“He is good. He’s really good, Chalamet tells the other lookalikes backstage. “You guys should learn from them.”
Although it hasn’t been confirmed, it appears that the lookalike Timmies were all competitors in October’s NYC competition — which took a twist when not only Chalamet arrived, but so did the NYPD. One of the look-alikes was also handcuffed.
