Previously, he stopped by 8H inseasons 46and49, creating memorable moments like"Tiny Horse."
Weathers even met Dylan in the ’80s when he was rehearsing the Never-Ending Tour with bassist Tony Garnier.
He notes on Chalamets take on Dylan: The clips of the film are FANTASTIC.
The First 5,000 Yearson Broadway following hisSNLstint.
So hes kind of an expert when it comes to Dylan portrayals.
Earlier this season, I thought James Austin Johnson stole theComplete Unknownred carpet sketch with his late period Dylan.
Weathers disagrees, saying Paul Mescals Bono was the best.
[Johnson] does not capture the spirit of Dylan at all.
Very forced and cartoonish.
We will see how Chalamet approaches things tonight.
Will this be like whenAustin Butler sangas Elvis?
Scroll down, Club Chalamet.
John Hancock (Mikey Day) signed it the “biggest.”
Cameo alert!Lin-Manuel Mirandareappears as Alexander Hamilton from his iconic musical.
But it is a bait and switch.
He freezes time like Zack Morris, monologuing and mocking Miranda for wanting so badly to win an EGOT.
Plenty of Zuckerberg options though!
Patrick Weathers verdict is: I hate in-house jokes, but these were funny.
In fact, that’s when the sketch became funny, with ‘lots of Zuckerberg options.'"
Alsocheck out this season 43Revolutionary War sketch withNatalie PortmanandTina Fey, among others.
Chalamet notes they will be obscure, but his personal favorites of Dylans discog!
It would be nice if he sang ‘Song To Woody.’
Give a nod to the memory of Bob’s mentor, says Weathers.
He adds that the key to playing Bob Dylan is having the mindset for it.
And you have to have the instrument for it, the voice and the ability to catch the nuances.
Theyre very subtle, a lot of people dont realize this but Bob Dylanisa great singer.
Hes a pretty straight shooter.
Bungee
This workout is not for the faint of heart.
A class of women, and Michael Longfellow, are instructed by a long-haired Chalamet.
They fly and do silly moves like the “Jimmy Carter.”
Collectively, they burn less than five calories.
Everyone is bouncing around and eating Cinnabun.
Weathers says Chamalet should also play Weird Al in his biopic.
He’s a dead ringer in this sketch.
(And he does shout Eat it!)
Weird Al should host the show.
He could host and musical guest.
Its SNL50, people.
Medcast
Men ages 20-45 are most likely to receive health advice from a podcast.
It is fun to see Andrew and Marcelloback in a podcast sketch.
Weathers thinks this is clever and I agree!
Coffee puns, that kind of thing.
Benny (Chalamet) loves comedy, and busts out a Chris Rock-style joke about Homer Simpson.
Chalamets delivery here is hilarious, recalling Def Comedy Jam, and playing to the audience.
FUNNY, says Weathers.
Agreed, impressive performance!
Here is the idea: Oedipal Arrangement.
Very dark, as Longfellow imagines the grisly death of his dad (Day).
This is another good one… new writers?
AI Software
Another podcast sketch!
Learning is now set up like a podcast.
This is a funny spoof of unnatural AI conversation and design both performers have six fingers.
Two sketches based on podcast culture is the Trump/Rogan effect, notes Weathers, which is probably right.
Weekend Update
Oh boy, jokes on the January 6 pardons and Elon Musks Nazi salute.
As Che shares, its a dark Update.
Hes right, they seem to lose the (typically fawning) crowd at times.
Its tough, it can be bleak material.
I do like gun-toting Jost talking aboutPop Culture Jeopardy.
Ego Nwodimis Giselle, a concerned business woman.
She voted for Trump!
Weathers chimes in: She was ballsy.
Somebody finally showing some raw nerve on this show.
The spirit of Belushi lives on."
Family can be crazy.
Andrew Dismukes and his puppet dad come on to comment.
Dismukes has been doing ventriloquism in his stand-up.
Dismukes says I love you, overcome with feeling.
You amaze me every day, son.
The 17th most famous cast member onSNL,I hope you know how special you are.
He sings, too.
Jost finds this deeply sad and insecure.
Dog Run
If dogs talked and acted like humans.
Chalamet and Day chat wearing dog ears and snouts.
Lots of fake humping and licking.
Thompson saves it with his deadpan recurring food bit.
Weathers concurs: “Kind of hit and miss.
Especially when you consider they are NYC dogs and they are all neutered.”
IIcompilation, released in 1971.
This tribute to lost love and reflecting on ones past was subsequently included in the compilationMasterpieces.
A bunch of artists have covered this over the years, including Elvis.
Dylan’s favorite cover of any of his songs," notes Weathers.
It was just Elvis on guitar singing the song.
He approves of Chalamets take, too.
Cool to see James Blake during the first set, too!
Grandma’s Birthday
A 96-year-old (Sarah Sherman) is celebrating her birthday with her family.
Chelsea is even coming over and bringing around her new boyfriend, who is a cardiologist.
Suddenly, Grandma collapses.
Get this woman a glass of water and an altoid, he orders.
He recounts all the food he had today.
The family is mortified.
Grandma is alive, but only due to a fart bringing her back to life.
Love Shermans performance here, pretty funny.
I am into it!
She saw it in theaters with a group of friends and thought it accurately captured that era.
