Timothée Chalamet to Host 'SNL' with Musical Guest... Timothée Chalamet Tony Maglio, 1/10/2025 Timothée Chalamet will host and perform as the musical guest on 'SNL' on January 25, marking his third appearance. Known for his role in the Bob Dylan biopic, he'll likely showcase his musical talents. The episode follows Dave Chappelle on January 18, as 'SNL' gears up for its 50th-anniversary special. Timothée Chalamet is going really, really method. The "A Complete Unknown" star will pull double duty as "SNL" host and musical guest on January 25; it will be his third time hosting the sketch-comedy program, currently in its 50th season.
Chalamet stars in the Bob Dylan biopic and does his own singing, guitar playing, and harmonica blowing and sucking. It is unknown if Chalamet will sing Dylan songs, sing as Dylan, or perhaps even perform with Dylan on "SNL." Or, you know, do literally anything else musical. As his truest fans are well aware (and as I'm just told), Chalamet used to do a bit of rapping back in high school for school projects and assemblies.
Watch him rap about his Statistics class and favorite teacher here:
Chalamet has received SAG, Golden Globe, and Critics Choice Award nominations for portraying Dylan in "A Complete Unknown," currently in theaters.
Dylan was an "SNL" musical guest in 1979 with host Eric Idle. Just last week the sketch show parodied Chalamet (played by Chloe Fineman) and Dylan (James Austin Johnson) on the red carpet for the "A Complete Unknown" premiere.

The Chalamet episode will follow Dave Chappelle's return as "Saturday Night Live" host on January 18; it will be Chappelle's fourth time. The comedian's musical guest is GloRilla, making her "SNL" debut. Both Chappelle and GloRilla are nominated for Grammys: Chappelle for his comedy album "Dave Chappelle: The Dreamer," and GloRilla for her single "Yeah Glo!" GloRilla actually has two nominations for that one song.
"SNL" airs live coast to coast on NBC Saturdays at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT; it streams simultaneously on Peacock. The NBCUniversal streaming service has each and every season of "SNL" in its archives.
After Chalamet breaks the internet as host/musical guest, "Saturday Night Live" goes on hiatus until its big mid-February 50th-anniversary special. The celebration will last all weekend and culminate in a live primetime broadcast, "SNL50: The Anniversary Special," on Sunday, February 16.
"Saturday Night Live" is produced in association with Broadway Video. The creator and executive producer is Lorne Michaels.
