Saturday Night Live: Timothee Chalamet Brings Back Fan-Favorite Character

Timothee Chalamet has returned for his second hosting gig with Saturday Night Live, and brought back a fan favorite character with his comeback, $mokecheddathaassgetta. Saturday Night Live featured Chalamet as the first major host following the end of the SAG-AFTRA strike, so fans were wondering what kind of sketches would be on the way. But there was one character they were hoping to see him return to instead, and thankfully he was able to with the first major sketch of his comeback as he's officially brought back $mokecheddathaassgetta for a new Rap Roundtable with some unexpected guests in tow. 

The first Rap Roundtable he was already a part of during his first time hosting Saturday Night Live during the pandemic in 2020 also featured Pete Davidson as his partner, Guaplord, but this time he was all along as Guaplord is no longer in action. But this Rap Roundtable was also much different as the other panelists were distinguished people within both the rap industry but culture as a whole. It was a wild comeback for $mokecheddathaassgetta, check it out below:

Who is in the Saturday Night Live Cast?

Cast members for Saturday Night Live season 49 include almost the entire cast from season 48 of SNL. Returning stars include Michael Che, Mikey Day, Andrew Dismukes, Chloe Fineman, Heidi Gardner, James Austin Johnson, Punkie Johnson, Colin Jost, Ego Nwodim, Sarah Sherman, Kenan Thompson, and Bowen Yang. Featured players that are part of the cast include returning stars Marcello Hernandez, Molly Kearney, Michael Longfellow, and Devon Walker, plus the show's only fully new cast member for the year, newcomer Chloe Troast. The comedy troupe Please Don't Destroy, made up of Ben Marshall, John Higgins, and Martin Herlihy, are also a recurring part of the series. 

New Saturday Night Live Hosts

With the SAG-AFTRA Strike still without a resolution, Saturday Night Live is unable to tap actors to host new episodes since previously they would only appear on the series to promote some new work (prohibited by the rules of the SAG-AFTRA strike). As a result comedians and musicians have been the only hosts confirmed for Saturday Night Live season 49 with Pete Davidson, Bad Bunny, and Nate Bargatze taking the spotlight for the first three episodes.

Saturday Night Live Season 49 is ongoing now with new episodes airing on both NBC and Peacock, starting Saturdays at 11:30 PM ET. All 48  seasons of Saturday Night Live are also now streaming on Peacock.
