NBC ’s Saturday Night Live heading into its day of remembrance break with another awe-inspiring effort from Timothée Chalamet and SNL ’s writers and cast .
Okay , I ’m rifle to bulge things off by being a minute of a " Debbie Downer . " Based on the promo that ran during last night ’s show , it does n’t look like NBC’sSaturday Night LiveSeason 50 will be back until after the big primetime day of remembrance show on Feb. 16th – meaning that Saturday , Feb. 22nd would be the other that we would have a new show ( though we ca n’t judder this intuitive feeling that SNL might not render until the first Saturday in March – we ’ll see ) . That said , if that ’s the case , then this weekend ’s pre - break show with legion and musical guestTimothée Chalametwas an first-class Federal Reserve note to go out on . After two previous jaunt killed , Chalamet upped his game for his third hosting gig by pulling double duty and never missing a musical rhythm . Look , at this point – based on what he has run along up film - sassy – we could see Chalamet getting his " Five - Timers " jacket by the death of Season 3 , and he ’s earned it .
Hosting and performing would be impressive enough , but Chalamet did extract back on one for the rice beer of the other – knock out three songs over two sets and appearing in an impressive number of sketch along the way . Was I hop for more " Tiny Horse " and $ mokeCheddaThaAssGetta ? Definitely , but I esteem and appreciate that Chalamet and the SNL cast and author did n’t go the path we were expecting . Instead , we were deal to a run of unrecorded and filmed sketches that offer a wide assortment of comedic offering – from gag - out - loud and heartwarming to thought - hassle and cringe - inducing moments . It ’s light to see that Chalamet is someone that the SNL cast and writer experience creatively connected with , and it ’s been making for some epic shows along the way . While we could give you an easy 300 words on every sketch – they were all banger , no misses – we ’re going to score you with some random thoughts we had during the show .
SNL Host/Musical Guest Timothée Chalamet: Random Thoughts
" Founding Fathers " Cold Open : James Austin Johnsonfound a means to make me hateDonald Trumpeven more when he came out to bring down offLin - Manuel Miranda ’s return as Alexander Hamilton ( with Johnson getting Miranda to break up just a little ) .
" New Barista Training " : As great as Chalamet was ( and bonus point toKenan Thompsonat the conclusion ) , I ’m obsessed with knowingthe backstory of the peaceful - aggressive hate the two flight simulator ( Mikey DayandHeidi Gardner ) were throw atAshley Padilla ’s trainee .
" AI Software " : Serious fillip level to the writers , who were clearly haunted by all of their AI exposure and need to exorcise those demons ( six digit ! ! ! ) in this sketch because it hits intemperately . The same could be enounce for Chalamet andBowen Yang , who work a disturbingly rude tone to the words that only increased the creepiness ingredient – like listening to two aliens trying to occur themselves off as human in a conversation .
" Oedipal Arrangements " : Gardner , Day , andMichael Longfellowoffer a disturbing twirl on the " Edible Arrangements " offering . Gardner and Day realize just how uncomfortable some folks are fail to feel and then dial it up so far that the laughs far outweigh the cringe . Confession ? That flying cutting to Longfellow image killing and put away of his dad ’s ( Day ) consistency had me laughing harder than it had any right hand to .
" Weekend Update : Andrew Dismukes and His Puppet Dad on Crazy Families " : Serious airscrew toAndrew Dismukesfor a segment duringColin JostandMichael Che ’s " Weekend Update " ( which was excellent , by the direction ) that had no good being that mirthful while hitting us in the flavour when we least require it .
" Dog Run " : A big ensemble sketch ( Chalamet , Day , Gardner , Thompson , Yang , Dismukes , Johnson , Marcello Hernández , Sarah Sherman , andChloe Fineman ) that hit a lot of dog owner hard on societal medium . Heartfelt and humorous , it hark back to the days when SNL would roll up out some truly original clowning after the midnight hour .
" Grandma ’s Birthday " : Sure , watching Chalamet ’s heart specialist squatting over Sherman ’s dying grandmother to dispense " Fart CPR " had that shock factor comedically – but SNL realise that the real humor is what fare after the absurdity . The consequence make for some heavy moments – especially Thompson ’s Mr. Davis refuse medical handling when he starts having a heart attack now that he have a go at it how he ’s conk out to be saved .
" God – An SNL liven up Short " : Day , Gardner , Longfellow , Emil Wakim , andJane Wicklinevoice Angels who are charged with facilitate God ( Chalamet ) create the domain . MESSAGE TO EP LORNE MICHAELS : This take to be a series . I ’m not blab out just an SNL series – I ’m talking about an existent revive serial , maybe stemming from your yield company . Because that short felt like a sales pitch for something more , and it choose less than three moment for it to have me wantingmore .
