The second-time SNL host made the most of his return.
As the first host of Saturday Night Live following the SAG-AFTRA strike, Timothée Chalamet got to take advantage of being able to plug his acting projects again. The Wonka star wasted no time in reminding viewers that his latest film is coming soon — and he did so in song. Chalamet’s SNL monologue included his own version of “Pure Imagination” that comedically ushered in a return to “shameless self-promotion.”
“It’s OK, I can say,” he sang, adding straight to the camera, “that my new film Wonka is out in theaters on Dec. 15. … Fandango.com, keyword: D*mn, Hugh Grant got that oompa loompa dump truck!”
His song also joked about the AI protections secured by the actors’ strike and “the return of America’s favorite industry: Hollywood.” And though he was soon interrupted mid-bar by SNL cast member Marcello Hernández, that wasn’t the end of Chalamet’s musical monologue.
