Saturday Night Live: Timothee Chalamet Is Masked Up & At Rehearsal

After a not surprising "eh" return episode of NBC's Saturday Night Live (sorry but it's true, Jason Bateman and Morgan Wallen), this Saturday sees Timothee Chalamet (Little Women, Dune) as our ringmaster and Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band taking the night's musical guest. Chalamet follows in a line of hosts this season that's included Chris Rock, Bill Burr, Issa Rae, Adele, John Mulaney, Dave Chappelle, and Bateman. 'The Boss" and his crew follow the musical stylings of Justin Bieber, H.E.R., The Strokes, and Foo Fighters, and Wallen. Now, SNL is releasing a preview image of Chalamet down at Studio 8H and in the middle of (COVID-friendly) rehearsals. With the news from the past week about WarnerMedia releasing its 2021 film line-up (including Dune) on HBO Max.

Looking ahead to December 19, SNL vet and "big bad" in the upcoming Wonder Woman 1984 (also hitting HBO Max in the U.S. first) Kristen Wiig serving as host for the pre-holiday break episode. Joining Wiig to wrap up the midseason for 2020 is musical artist Dua Lipa. But for now, here's a look at Chalamet at work- finding something amusing:
