Timothée Chalamet reunites with ‘SNL’ lookalikes Double Duty
Timothée Chalamet calls on his lookalikes for help pulling double duty on “Saturday Night Live” this weekend.
In a promo sketch for the episode, in which he will be both host and musical guest (playing songs from the Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown”), Chalamet confesses, “I’ve never done this before. I have to be the host and musical guest of ‘SNL’ 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.
Four Chalamet doubles then appear, apparently including Miles Mitchell, who won the New York lookalike contest that Chalamet himself crashed in October. They’re all dressed in a different Timmy era – there’s ‘Wonka’ Timmy, Timmy at the Paris premiere of ‘A Complete Unknown’ (where he rocked a pink skinny scarf), regular Timmy (?) and of course Bob Dylan Timmy .
The lookalikes take on some of Chalamet’s workload for “SNL,” which includes meeting with the writers, working on his monologue and listening to Mikey Day brag about hosting “Is It Cake.” And when he forgets to appear for an interview with ‘Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon’, the Parisian lookalike goes in his place – much to Fallon’s dismay.
‘He’s good. He is really good,” Chalamet says to the other lookalikes backstage. “You should learn from him.”
While it hasn’t been confirmed yet, it appears that the lookalike Timmys were all competitors in October’s NYC competition – which took a turn when not only Chalamet arrived, but the NYPD as well. One of the doubles even ended up in handcuffs.
