SNL 50/50: For Season 46, It's Timothée Chalamet & "Rap Roundtable"
For today's SNL: 50 Seasons in 50 Days, Season 46 is represented by Timothée Chalamet's Smoke Chedda Tha A$$ Getta in "Rap Roundtable."
With some big 50th season celebrations set to kick off later this month, NBC's Saturday Night Live is back with the next edition of its social media series "SNL: 50 Seasons in 50 Days" series, which spotlights one sketch from an SNL season every day – beginning with the current and working backward. For this go-around, it's the eighth episode of Season 46 (December 12, 2020) – with host Timothée Chalamet and musical guest Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band. The sketch? "Rap Roundtable" sees host Nunya Bizness (Ego Nwodim) moderating a panel on hip-hop with guests Questlove (as himself), Queen Latifah (Punkie Johnson) – and Timothée Chalamet's and Pete Davidson's Smoke Chedda Tha A$$ Getta and Guap Lord, respectively. Going by the name Xan Mob, the two-man personification of white privilege and cultural appropriation would go on to scar eardrums everywhere with their song "Yeet" (with "Getta" eventually making another return).
Here's a look at the post honoring "Rap Roundtable" as the Season 46 spotlight sketch, followed by what we know so far about the 50th season festivities set for later this month and February:
