Heres how it all went down.

He began his monologue by drawing attention to his sprouting chin hairs and lamenting his previous awards losses.
Its an enormous honor going to these award shows.
Its such a great experience, Chalamet said.
But I just keep losing.
And each time, it gets harder to pretend it doesnt sting.
(Cue: a montage of Chalamets increasingly disappointed faces at the Golden Globes and Oscars ceremonies.)
Just another lonely night with myDunepopcorn bucket, he quipped.
To my fellow nominees, you did beautiful work this year.
Anyway, I love Bob Dylan.
This is for you, Bob!
Next, he played barista-in-trainingand Chris Rock wannabeBenny.
An eager Chalamet turns the exercise intoDef Comedy Jam.
Man…You ever go to your lady, she got a yellow ring round the tub?
Im like, Girl, who you been washing up in there?
Benny says, all gangly with physical comedy.
Met by his fellow baristas confusion, he adds: Were doing jokes, right?
Girl, a latte!
Later, Chalamet and Bowen Yang took on the ever-evolving world of Artificial Intelligence.
With Chalamet fully strapped in for the ride, things went on to get a bit gross.
I heard Gabriels horn calling me to heaven, Sherman says.

During the first half ofSNL, Chalamet performed two Dylan hits: Outlaw Blues and Three Angels.
James Blake joined him on stage as an unannounced guest, playing the piano.
Adam Sandler also made a surprise appearance to introduce Chalamets first performance.
He pronounced Chalamets name as only Sandler would,recalling a jokefrom Nikki Glasers Golden Globes monologue.
A worthwhile and funny long game.
In the latter half, Chalamet performed Tomorrow Is a Long Time from Bob Dylans 1971Greatest Hits Volume II.
The obscure choices were charming, and Chalamet went all in on the performances.
Im so gratefulSaturday Night Liveis still doing weird stuff like this 50 years in.
Theyre either really nice for letting me do this or incredibly mean and this is all a big prank.
Still, a fine addition to hisAcademy Award campaign trail.
