Why Fans Think Timothée Chalamet’s Latest Accessory is a Nod to Kylie Jenner’s Daughter Stormi
Live from New York, it’s Timothée Chalamet and...his mustache, again.
After getting trolled at the Golden Globes for his facial hair, the A Complete Unknown actor got in on the joke while hosting Saturday Night Live Jan. 25. During his opening monologue, the 29-year-old had cameras zoom into what he called his "little goatee, a little 'stache."
"That's 37 hairs right there," he bragged. "Yeah, count it. I'm literally going to be 30 years old next year."
Perhaps he'll enter a new decade as a winner, too. Because right now, he remains an award show loser. (His words, not ours. Kind of.)
"A Complete Unknown just got eight Academy Award nominations," he said of the Bob Dylan biopic. "It’s been an enormous honor going to these award shows. It’s such a great experience but I just keep losing. And each time it gets harder to pretend it doesn’t sting. Let’s take a look."
Cue the montage of Chalamet struggling to accept defeat. Until now. Because on SNL, he's going to come out victorious and finally read his acceptance speech.
Except when an audience member opens the envelope it's Kenan Thompson who has won.
"Thank you so much, I didn't expect this," Thompson, wearing a tux, said as he accepted his award on stage. "To my fellow nominees, you did beautiful work this year."
"Anyway, this is for you Bob Dylan," he continued. "We've got a great show for y'all."
It's then that Chalamet cuts in with a plea: "Come on, man. Can I do that part. Please, man. I'm never here."
Thompson concedes but not without a little dig first. As he says while walking off stage, "Go ahead, little b---h."

Elsewhere in the show, Lin Manuel-Miranda and Adam Sandler made cameo appearances, with the latter introducing Chalamet for his musical performance.
Because yes, he pulled double duty for the night, serving as host and musical guest. And while he appeared stress-free during the show, he leaned on some Timothée Chalamet body doubles (like those who competed in a lookalike contest in October) to prepare him for the gig.
“It's a lot of work, and I want to focus on the songs,” Timothée said in a Jan. 22 promo for the episode, before the camera zoomed out to reveal his lookalikes dressed as various characters he’s played, including a Willy Wonka dupe clad in a purple coat.. “So, I brought in some help to cover with all the hosting duties.”
“Stuff like meeting with the writers or working on my monologue," he continued. "And of course, you gotta listen to Mikey Day brag about hosting Is It Cake?”

Tom Hanks
With 10 hosting gigs under his belt—including the show's first remotely-filmed episode back in April 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic—you know that when America's Dad is in Studio 8H, you're in for a wonderful time. Don't believe us? We have just three words for you: David. S. Pumpkins.

Jon Hamm
Hamm left audiences stunned with his considerable comedic chops when he hosted for the first time in 2008. He's has sinced follow up two more times and has had a handful of surprise cameos.
From his unforgettable "Jon Hamm's John Ham" sketch—you know, lunch meat you eat on the toilet—to his live-action Ace in an adaptation of the iconic Ambiguously Gay Duo animated sketch, he's ingratiated himself with cast in a way few other hosts ever have.

Melissa McCarthy
There is arguably no one on this planet more committed to their craft than the Bridesmaids legend. Case in point? The "Taste Test" sketch in her first at bat as host, back in 2011, when she covered herself in Hidden Valley ranch dressing for a gag.
In less than a decade, she's already joined the infamous Five-Timers Club, and even began making semi-regular appearances a particularly enraged Sean Spicer during his brief tenure in the Trump administration.

Justin Timberlake
Nearly every celeb on this list could've become a full-time cast member on SNL, easily. And for a time there, it seemed like JT actually might. From "Omletteville," "D--k in a Box," and "Barry Gibb Talk Show" to "Mother Lover," each of Timberlake's five appearances as host made moments that permeated pop culture. And his appearance as one of Beyonce's "Single Ladies" back-up dancers alongside Bobby Moynihan and Andy Samberg? Amazing.

Steve Martin
There are few people who have hosted SNL more than the legendary comedian—in fact, there's only one—and in his 16 stints in Studio 8H between 1976 and 2009, he created memorable characters (the "wild and crazy" Festrunk Brothers, King Tut) and delivered what would become one of the show's most heartfelt moments, honoring Gilda Radner's passing from cancer with a look back at a blissful dance the two shared through the studio.

Scarlett Johansson
Not only is ScarJo part of the SNL family thanks to her romance with Colin Jost, but the six-time host has created some indelible moments over the years since her debut in 2006.
She's been on hand for whenever the show needed someone to step into Ivanka Trump's shoes, appeared in the grotesque Shud the Mermaid sketch opposite Kate McKinnon and played Lexi (daughter to Fred Armisen's Mark) as the duo hawk chandeliers, ceramic busts, marble columns and porcelain fountains in the fan-favorite sketch.

Betty White
Unlike everyone else on this list, the late TV icon only hosted SNL once. And, at 88 years old, she became the show's oldest host in its history. The appearance was made even more special because it was literally fan-demanded through a successful Facebook campaign after White's role in The Proposal.
She's also on this list because, well, she was also freaking hilarious. Our favorite sketch from the episode is this absurd one where Tina Fey's census taker tries, in vain, to get a straight answer out of White.

Dwayne Johnson
A member of the Five Timer's Club, Johnson earned his spot on this list the minute he agreed to do The Rock Obama. Enough said.

Alec Baldwin
With 17 official hosting gigs on his resume and countless appearances as former President Donald Trump, Baldwin may be the only star not officially on the payroll who is more closely associated with SNL.
From classics like Canteen Boy and Schweddy Balls to impressions of Tony Bennett and, yes, Trump, Baldwin has given fans so much during his many, many visits to Studio 8H.
