Saturday Night LivestarChloe Finemanrecently came face-to-face with one of the subjects of her comedic impressions.
“That’s always really scary,” she said of people she impersonates seeing her skits. “Especially now that things are onSNLand people might actually see stuff, and I never want to be mean.”
“But [Chalamet] was at the show on Saturday secretly, undercover with a hat and a mask — as you should be in a mask — and he was like, ‘We should figure something out,'” she recalled, of course then launching into her hilarious impression of the 24-year-old actor.

“I was like, ‘Ah! It’s Timothée Chalamet,'” continued Fineman, 32. “I just turned bright red. He stayed for the second show and then was like, ‘I’m actually working on an impression of you, haha. No, I’m not — yeah, I am — No, I’m not.'”
“I fainted, I fully fainted,” she concluded.
OnThe Tonight Show, Fallon also tasked Fineman with showing off her impression skills, asking her to read the classic holiday poem’Twas the Night Before Christmaswhile taking on the personas of various celebrities and public figures.
The spot-on impressions included Chalamet,Meryl Streep,Drew Barrymore,Reese Witherspoon, Margaret Thatcher andNicole Kidman, for whom she aptly turned her scarf into a shawl.
Barrymore, whom Fineman has impersonated during previousSNLskits, recently told the comedian that she hopes the late-night sketch series continues to parodyThe Drew Barrymore Show.
“I hope you’ll keep doing this on the show. You’re my holy moley oley for life and I’m so thrilled you’re here and I’m shaking with excitement,” shetold Finemanduring an October interview on her talk show. “Thank you for honoring us with your presence here.”
