Ahead of his double duty hosting and musical artist gig onSaturday Night Live, theA Complete Unknownstar enlisted four of his viral lookalikes to help bear the heavy load in a promo video released in anticipation of his Jan. 25 episode.

“I’ve never done this before. You know, I’m having to beSNLhost and musical guest in the same week, so it’s a lot of work, and I want to focus on the songs,” Chalamet, 29, explains before the cameras pan out to reveal four lookalikes dressed like his most iconic characters. “So I brought in some help to cover with all the hosting duties.”
