Adam Sandler makes surprise SNL cameo to introduce Timothee Chalamet’s performance

Adam Sandler makes surprise SNL cameo to introduce Timothee Chalamet’s performance

Adam Sandler returned to his roots at Studio 8-H with a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live.

The 58-year-old mega movie star, who was a cast member from 1990 to 1995, made a cameo to introduce Timothée Chalamet before the 29-year-old actor kicked off his first of two performances as musical guest.

Chalamet, who was pulling double duty as both host and musical guest, delivered a show-stopping performance of Bob Dylan songs, fresh off his Oscar-nominated portrayal of the legendary songwriter in A Complete Unknown.

Dressed in a red, black, and white puffer jacket, Sandler introduced Chalamet with his signature silliness, playfully mispronouncing Timothée’s last name for comedic effect—something he had debuted at the Golden Globes.

‘Ladies and gentlemen, I love him too, Timothée Chalameeeet!’ Sandler roared, before Chalamet took the stage for a raucous rock-and-roll rendition of Outlaw Blues and a soulful, slowed-down performance of Three Angels.

Fans went wild over the Sandler surprise, as one shocked viewer posted, ‘THEY GOT ADAM SANDLER TO SAY ‘Ladies and gentlemen, Timothée Chalamet!’

‘Getting Sandler to announce Timmy so he could say ‘Chalamet’ is genius,’ added another.

Yet another chimed in, ‘OH MY WOW! They actually brought Adam Sandler out to give us another ‘Ahhhh, Timothée Chalamet!’

Meanwhile, Timothée’s performance had fans equally electrified, with many collectively urging the Academy to just hand him the Oscar already. 

One fan simply posted, ‘Congrats to Timothee chalamet for winning the academy award for best actor.’

Another mused, ‘timothée chalamet performing in snl with james blake on the keyboard is trying his best and pulling out all the stops to try to steal that oscar from adrien brody, i’ll tell you that much.’

Yet another wrote, ‘Its honestly genius to have Timothee Chalamet host AND sing Bob Dylan songs for a role he’s just been Oscar nominated for. They should do that more often for musical biopics (especially because there’s so many upcoming) it’s such great exposure for the film & great marketing.’

The accolades didn’t stop there, as other fans gushed ‘Timothée Chalamet singing Bob Dylan on SNL is enchanting me rn,’ while another shared, ‘Timothée Chalamet cover of Bob Dylan on SNL… I will literally never recover.’

The unforgettable performance left fans eagerly asking when Chalamet would be launching his own tour. 

‘k i need timothee chalamet to go on tour,’ a fan admitted, as another echoed the sentiment, ‘need the timothee chalamet tour now.’

Timothée may have to hit pause on any possible tour plans as he gears up for the Oscars. 

He officially joined a rare Oscars club with his Best Actor nomination for A Complete Unknown on Thursday.

This follows his previous nomination for the same honor at the 90th Academy Awards in 2018 for Call Me By Your Name.

With this latest nomination, Chalamet becomes the first man to secure two Best Actor nominations before turning 30—an achievement last reached by the late, legendary James Dean.

The iconic star, who tragically pᴀssed away at 24 in 1955, was nominated posthumously for East of Eden (1955) and Giant (1956) in the two ceremonies following his death.

Should Chalamet win, he’ll make history as the youngest-ever Best Actor winner, besting Adrien Brody’s 2003 record of winning at 29 for The Pianist. 

Meanwhile, fans were still buzzing to see if Chalamet would join the SNL afterparties with girlfriend Kylie Jenner.

The couple has largely kept their two-year romance out of the spotlight.

However, they made a rare public appearance together at the Golden Globes, sparking speculation that Kylie might make an appearance at the Oscars as well.

‘Kylie and Timothée are still trying to figure out who they are as a couple,’ an insider exclusively told DailyMail.com. ‘There is no trouble in paradise, but there are things they still need to navigate.’

The insider continued, ‘They are both very attracted to each other, but Timothée is still trying to figure out his career, which is a lot to deal with. To add a relationship into the mix with someone like Kylie is a lot to juggle.’

The source added that their decision to keep things private has helped their relationship stay strong.
