Timothée Chalamet‘s Saturday Night Live track record suggests he’s open to almost anything — but Chloe Fineman says that he wasn’t particularly receptive to some of her ideas.

The comedian reflected on the Call Me By Your Name actor’s January hosting gig during an interview with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live Wednesday.

“I pitched a lot of us touching, or like Babygirl and he’s giving me milk,” Fineman said, referring to a pivotal scene in the new erotic drama where Harris Dickinson‘s character defiantly sends a glass of milk to Nicole Kidman‘s protagonist. “And he wasn’t really having that milk-Babygirl stuff.”

Cohen also asked the comedian about her recurring impression of Chalamet, which she did not reprise during the actor’s most recent episode of the show. “I’ve been saying, I feel like I’ve done it twice already this year without him, and I really feel like I’m leaning more, like, L word,” she said, suggesting that her version of Chalamet has a slightly different energy than the actual actor.

When Cohen asked for clarification, Fineman responded, “I dunno. I’m a lot older than him. I just feel like I’m this cool les lady. I just feel like I’m like two lesbians.”

Fineman also added that getting to know Chalamet better has changed how she feels about playing him. “I think that now we know each other, it’s sort of embarrassing,” she said. “I feel like this weird older woman, being like, ‘Hey little boy, can I put your sweatpants on?’ ‘Cause I’ve worn his — sometimes I’ll wear his real clothes doing it, which was really fun.”

Fineman recently reprised her impression of Chalamet during a December sketch parodying the red carpet for A Complete Unknown, which costarred James Austin Johnson as Bob Dylan, Andrew Dismukes as Bruce Springsteen, and host Paul Mescal as Bono.

Earlier in the season, Fineman played Chalamet in the elaborate “Port Authority Duane Reed” musical sketch that poked fun at the actor’s appearance at New York’s Timothée Chalamet Lookalike Contest. (That sketch didn’t place as strong of an emphasis on Chalamet, however, as it also included the likes of Pete Davidson as a Duane Reed customer, Andy Samberg as Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s bear victim, and Devon Walker as Eric Adams.)

The comedian also confirmed that Chalamet’s rumored beau attended the SNL afterparty last week: “Kylie was there, and that’s what I’ll say.”

Saturday Night Live returns with its 50th anniversary special on Sunday, Feb. 16.
