This week’s “Saturday Night Live” host Timothée Chalamet made history in doing something that only actor Gary Busey has done before.

Timothée Chalamet gets usurped onstage by Kenan Thompson and thanks 'SNL' for letting him pull double duty as himself and Bob Dylan.

The A Complete Unknown star confirmed he'd be performing Bob Dylan songs in his monologue, saying, "I'm so grateful Saturday Night Live is still doing weird stuff like this 50 years in!"

The fact that host Timothée Chalamet just earned an Oscar nomination for his role as Bob Dylan in “A Complete Unknown” raised the possibility, however slim, that Minnesota’s most celebrated artist might appear on the late-night show for only the second time in its 50-year history.

As Lin-Manuel Miranda channeled Alexander Hamilton in one musical bit, Timothée Chalamet channeled Bob Dylan in two others.

When he attempted to use his monologue to deliver an awards speech he’d never had the chance to give, Kenan Thompson humorously interrupted. The camera then zoomed in on Chalamet’s unamused expression, as he maintained a convincingly deadpan, award-worthy glare.

Fans are hoping to see Timothée Chalamet break out his Bob Dylan impersonation as SNL's host and musical guest tonight.

Timothée Chalamet is once again a Best Actor Oscar nominee, this time for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. He flaunted his acting and singing chops as both the host and musical guest of last night’s Saturday Night Live.

But at first sight, Chalamet’s stint as the frontman of a Dylan cover band coinciding with his Best Actor campaign was less loosey-goose anything-goes ’70s style than akin to the more nakedly promotional Garth-Brooks-as-Chris-Gaines type of deal.

It’s been a while since Robert Smigel hung his own animation shingle at SNL, so if Seidell and Day want to give it a whirl, I’m game, even if this amusing first example is a little laid-back to signal the dawn of a new recurring bit.
