Timothée Chalamet Enlists 4 Lookalikes to Help Pull Off His Host and Musical Guest Stint on “Saturday Night Live”

Timothée Chalamet is seeing quintuple!

Ahead of his double duty hosting and musical artist gig on Saturday Night Live, the A Complete Unknown star enlisted four of his viral lookalikes to help bear the heavy load in a promo video released in anticipation of his Jan. 25 episode.

"I've never done this before. You know, I'm having 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," Chalamet, 29, explains before the cameras pan out to reveal four lookalikes dressed like his most iconic characters. "So I brought in some help to cover with all the hosting duties."

"Stuff like meeting with the writers or working on my monologe," he continues as versions of him, including one dressed like Willy Wonka from Wonka, stand in for him on screen.

"And, of course, you know, listen to Mikey Day brag about hosting, Is It Cake?" he says as a man fashioned into his A Complete Unknown persona rolls his eyes while walking away.

"All things considered, should be a great show. Oh, sorry," the actor pauses as his phone beeps. "Oh, I'm supposed to be on Fallon right now!"

As he looks side-to-side, Chalamet eventually chooses to send one of his lookalikes. When he makes his entrance on The Tonight Show, host Jimmy Fallon looks perplexed as the actor's double goes through the motions of making a gracious entrance.

"He's good," Chalamet tells the other Timothées watching his appearance from a green room. "He's really good. Yeah, you guys should learn from him."

The SNL promo is a reference to the viral Timothée Chalamet Lookalike Competition that took place in October 2024 at New York City’s Washington Square Park.

According to reports from NBC New York, hundreds of people gathered near the park's arch around 1 p.m. to watch or enroll in the competition. Fans dressed up as the actor's most iconic characters such as Willy Wonka and Bob Dylan from Chalamet’s acclaimed biopic, A Complete Unknown.

Chalamet, himself, ended up surprising the crowd by crashing the unofficial competition. In footage captured by the Associated Press and by fans on X, the actor could be seen waving, greeting fans and posing for photos while pushing through a crowd of screaming fans.
