Chloe Fineman tackles the Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest in ‘SNL’ musical parody
Chloe Fineman revived her Timothée Chalamet impression to poke fun at the actor’s recent appearance at a Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest on the Nov. 2 episode of “Saturday Night Live.”
Fineman showed up as Chalamet in the middle of a zany musical sketch about New York set inside a Duane Reade convenience store in the Port Authority Bus Terminal.
Comedian and former “SNL” writer John Mulaney, the episode’s host, played the store’s cashier, in the sprawling sketch, which also featured former “SNL” cast member Pete Davidson and current member Andrew Dismukes as store patrons, along with most of the show’s current cast.
When Davidson’s character attempted to buy a sketchy gallon of milk from the convenience store’s small refrigerator, the sketch morphed into a surreal sendup of the bus terminal — and New York in general — set to a parody of Broadway songs from “The Lion King,” “The Sound of Music,” “Hamilton,” “Grease” and more.
Fineman’s shaggy-haired Chalamet character appeared alongside all the “twinks” participating in the Chalamet lookalike contest. The group sang and danced to a parody of the song “Willkommen” from “Cabaret.”
Fineman, who plays Chalamet as a gangly goof, sang:
Welcome in and bienvenue and welcome
You can look like Timmy too / Watch us
Hunch up your shoulders and mess up your hair
Top hat and scarf / That’s the Timothée flair
“SNL” viewers got a kick out of seeing Fineman playing Chalamet in the loopy sketch.
“I wasn’t expecting Chloe Fineman to bring out the Timothée Chalamet impression again, but man did she deliver,” one wrote von YouTube.
“Them mentioning the Timothée Chalamet lookalike competition was the perfect touch,” added another.
Fans on Instagram were also delighted, including one who wrote, “if Timothy (sic) would’ve shown up like the actual competition I would’ve DIED.”
The real Chalamet surprised attendees when he showed up unannounced at a Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest in New York City’s Washington Square Park on Oct. 27.
The 28-year-old actor posed for photos with fans and greeted some of the contest’s competitors.
