Timothée Chalamet, a frequent awards season presence for his acting prowess, is about to tackle a different kind of stage. This Saturday, he returns to Studio 8H for his third stint hosting “Saturday Night Live,” but with a twist. For the first time, Chalamet will also serve as the musical guest, a rare double-duty performance.
The timing aligns perfectly with the buzz surrounding his recent portrayal of Bob Dylan in “A Complete Unknown,” for which he’s garnered SAG, Golden Globe, and Critics Choice Award nominations. Whether he’ll channel his inner Dylan or surprise viewers with an entirely different musical persona remains to be seen.
While the details of his musical performance are under wraps, one thing is certain: Chalamet’s appearance will generate considerable interest, particularly given the ongoing awards chatter. As “SNL” continues to blend its classic sketch comedy with contemporary star power, Chalamet’s multi-talented presence feels like a natural fit.
“Saturday Night Live” airs Saturday, January 25, 2025, at 11:29 PM on NBC.
