Timothée Chalamet hosts SNL tonight, January 25, 2025
SNL Tonight features Timothée Chalamet as both host and musical guest for the 12th episode of Saturday Night Live's 50th season. In a recent promo released on January 24, 2025, on the official Saturday Night Live YouTube channel, Chalamet introduced himself and announced his dual role for the episode.
Cast member Sarah Sherman humorously congratulated him on his recent Oscar nomination and joked about having an Oscar herself, claiming she dates "a little green guy who lives in a garbage can." Chalamet, confused, replied, "Oh, so like Sesame Street," to which Sherman humorously responded, "What's Sesame Street?"
The promo also included Sherman excitedly asking Chalamet to reenact a scene from one of her favorite movies, running off to don a peach costume, leaving Chalamet visibly perplexed.
Chalamet later teased dedicating a song to Sherman, mentioning Knocking on Heaven's Door, eliciting an exaggerated reaction. The episode comes as the actor celebrates a major career milestone: his second Oscar nomination for Best Actor, making him the youngest actor since James Dean to receive this recognition.
In another promotional skit for the episode, Chalamet humorously enlisted four lookalikes, each dressed as characters from his previous films, to help manage his hosting duties. One of these lookalikes, Zander Dueve, portrayed Bob Dylan, a role Chalamet plays in the film A Complete Unknown.
SNL Tonight is expected to showcase Chalamet’s versatility as both a performer and a musician, with fans anticipating potential musical performances inspired by his role in A Complete Unknown.
A brief look at Timothée Chalamet's career
Timothée Chalamet began his acting journey with television appearances, notably in Homeland (2012). He transitioned to film with roles in Men, Women & Children, and Interstellar (2014). His portrayal in Call Me by Your Name (2017) earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. He further showcased his versatility in Lady Bird (2017), Beautiful Boy (2018), and Little Women (2019).
Leading roles in Dune (2021) and Wonka (2023) solidified his status in Hollywood. In A Complete Unknown (2024), Chalamet portrayed Bob Dylan, securing his second Oscar Best Actor nomination. He has received multiple award nominations, including two Academy Awards and four Golden Globe Awards
Early on, industry professionals suggested he gain weight to secure leading roles, as his slender build was seen as a limitation. This feedback led to rejections for major films like The Maze Runner and Divergent. Despite these setbacks, Chalamet embraced his distinctive look, which became integral to his performances in films such as Call Me by Your Name and Lady Bird.
