Timothée Chalamet To Host, And Perform, On ‘Saturday Night Live’

[ad_1]

Get ready for a double dose of Timothée Chalamet, who will pull double duty as the host and musical guest on the Jan. 25 episode of NBC’s Saturday Night Live. The actor is ostensibly promoting his role as Bob Dylan in the hit film A Complete Unknown, although the network did not specify whether he’d be performing Dylan songs during his musical guest segments.

Chalamet previously hosted SNL in December 2020 and November 2023. He did all his own singing and guitar playing in A Complete Unknown, which traces Dylan’s arrival in New York amid the early 1960s folk boom and his evolution as a musician in the half-decade that followed.

“It was important for me to sing and play live,” he said in a promo video released before the movie. “Because if I can actually do it, why should there be an element of artifice here? And I’m proud that we took that leap.”

“Bob’s a mutterer, and Timmy gave his best mutter, so it was pulling that out. He would go from there to that twangy, tough voice that could shrill your eardrums,” the film’s sound mixer Todd Maitland recently told Variety. “But there were like four different voices inside of Timmy capturing all those and giving them all character was a whole other dimension.”

Meanwhile, rapper GloRilla will serve as the SNL musical guest on Jan. 18, which will be hosted by comedian Dave Chappelle.
