SNL's Chloe Fineman Says Timothee Chalamet Loves Her Impression

When it comes to impressions, Chloe Fineman stands out as one of Saturday Night Live's best. The comedian has performed countless impressions during her five years on the show, with her replication of Timothée Chalamet being heralded as some of her best work. Though she was initially apprehensive to speak with Chalamet during his first SNL stint after her viral impression, Fineman says the Oscar-nominated actor loves it.

"At first I was like, 'I don't want to do this, I don't want to make him uncomfortable because I really love him,'" she said in a new piece with CNN. "He really got a kick out of it; he was really laughing! My favorite [thing] is he laughs the way that my impression laughs, so then it's sort of this meta, crazy thing."

What Chloe Fineman impressions are there?

Throughout her time on SNL, Chalamet's arguably Fineman's most popular impression. Other frequent characters played by her included Drew Barrymore, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Carole Baskin, Britney Spears, Nancy Pelosi, and Miley Cyrus.

Season 49 is Fineman's fifth year on the show. She first joined the cast of the live sketch comedy ahead of Season 45 in 2019. She was then promoted from featured to repertory player before Season 47.
