Timothée Chalamet Gets Blasted For 'SNL' JokeOthers were harsher in their judgment. “Wow, 'SNL,' a Jimmy Carter is dead joke? Not funny, not appropriate,” said one user.
Another declared the remark could even cost Chalamet his Oscar chances for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in "A Complete Unknown."

“Was funny until that Jimmy Carter line. Totally disrespectful and out of line," someone else expressed. "And yes I have a sense of humor and love the show but that was just horrible and too soon … I hope his family didn’t see that.”
