Timothee Chalamet served as the host of the newest episode of Saturday Night Live.
The 27-year-old actor headlined the fourth installment of the long-running sketch comedy show’s 49th season, which happened to be the first episode of the program to air after the end of the SAG-AFTRA strike.
The performer, whose appearance was promoted by Kylie Jenner’s mother Kris Jenner, began his time on the program by speaking about how Lorne Michaels ‘kept calling me Winona’ during his first time hosting the program.
The Dune star then celebrated the end of the Hollywood strikes, which prevented him from promoting his projects in public, and stated that he had been contacted by Martin Scorsese to film an ad for Chanel.
The performer quipped that, after being called by the Taxi Driver director, ‘the first thing you think is, “man, I really hope it’s a perfume commercial.”‘

The first sketch of the show took place at the Museum of Hip Hop, during which Chalamet portrayed pink-haired rapper Smokecheddadaa**getta.
During a panel conversation, which also included Mary J. Blige, Rick Rubin and Cornel West, the performer asked: ‘So when they discover hip hop? Like 2014?’
When the group began discussing how much of hip-hop came from trauma, the performer quipped: ‘My dad made me get braces. I wanted Invisalign. Life crazy.’
He then sent a tribute to his friend Gap, who was forced to ‘lay low in Turkey’ after fundraising for New York City mayor Eric Adams.
Smokecheddaa**getta also spoke about how his newest track was a condemnation of ‘capalism,’ as ‘everybody be capping all the time.’

Several figures, including Allison Janney, Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Steve-O, were seen while trying out for the part, although none appeared to be ideal fits.

Brett transfers the housewife to his associate Keith, played by Chalamet, and when notified that the bag was salmon-colored, he quipped: ‘Salmon’s a fish, though.’
After the housewife pressed the issue further, he countered by remarking that ‘a dog isn’t the color dog.’

The next segment was set during a war in a post-apocalyptic future, in which the star of The French Dispatch portrayed a soldier, who offered to meet with the leader of opposing forces.
The performer then launched into a musical number, where it was revealed that his side was fighting against a giant claymation horse hellbent on destroying the human race.
The star of The King’s character then revealed that he raised the horse from its formerly tiny state, during which they were close friends.
Chalamet was then attacked by Emperor Palpatine-like figure, who attempted to control the horse, although the animal killed the malevolent figure and returned to its formerly tiny state, ending the war.
Boygenius, made up of Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus, performed their track Not Strong Enough, and much of their backing band started jumping up and down during the performance.

The doctor induces her hallucination, which turned out to be ‘not just any gay guy’ Troye Sivan, portrayed by Chalamet, who started dancing and pulled down his pants to reveal his underwear.
The singer then described himself as ‘An Australian youtube twink-turned-indie popstar and model-turned-HBO actor Troye Sivan being portrayed by an American actor who can’t do an Australian accent.’
The doctor then told the patient that she was ‘fourth woman this week who’s suffering from Troye Sivan dancing as their sleep demon,’ and when asked if the singer was famous, he replied: ‘He’s gay famous, it’s different.’
After Sivan reappeared, the medical professional stated that he was ‘going to win the award for best gay doctor’ before pulling down his own underpants and dancing with the pop star, who described himself as a ‘moisturized Machine Gun Kelly.’
The doctor then told his patient that he would prescribe her medication ‘so straight it should drive him out of your system,’ which turned out to be Logan Paul’s energy drink and four seasons of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia.
Sivan then reappeared and invited the members of Boygenius, also in costume as the pop star, to dance with him, and the sketch ended with everyone showing off their underwear.
Please Don’t Destroy’s sketch was centered on the group encountering a suicidal man, played by Chalamet, preparing to jump off a ledge.

The suicidal man then inadvertently revealed that his band’s name is Hamas and revealed that his girlfriend broke up with him because he cheated on her, much to the group’s chagrin.
Although the group tried to get the attention of a police officer, the cop ran away before Chalamet’s character dropped his phone and lost all his music.
