From watching Timothée Chalamet’s promotion for “A Complete Unknown”, I’ve come to realize that anything can happen unexpectedly. I never would have guessed I’d see the “Dune” actor on “College GameDay”. Nor did I imagine he’d make an appearance at a viral doppelganger contest dedicated to him. Frankly, I never even considered the possibility that he could host not one but two roles on “Saturday Night Live”, especially when it comes back in 2025. Yet, all these events have occurred or are set to unfold.
As a cinephile, let me share my excitement: This renowned actor is stepping into the spotlight for both hosting and musical performances on Saturday Night Live Season 50 – quite the spectacle, wouldn’t you agree? But upon deeper thought, I’ve got a hunch about his reasons, and it all boils down to that highly-anticipated 2024 movie he’s working on, delving into the life of Bob Dylan.
Saturday Night Live Announced Their First Two Hosts Of 2025
Before diving into my speculations regarding Timothée Chalamet’s upcoming musical appearances, let me share some insights about the highly anticipated comeback of Saturday Night Live in the year 2025. As a dedicated cinephile and music enthusiast, I eagerly look forward to both these events!
The legendary comedy series has revealed its next two hosts for an unprecedented season along with their episode air dates. Starting 2025, Season 50 begins on January 18 featuring Dave Chappelle as the host and Glorilla as the musical guest. On January 25, eagerly anticipated is Timothée Chalamet, who will serve in a dual capacity.
To date, Saturday Night Live (SNL) has invited back some popular hosts who have graced the stage multiple times, such as John Mulaney, Martin Short, and Ariana Grande. Additionally, they’ve welcomed fresh faces like Paul Mescal and Charli XCX to host for the first time. Both Dave Chappelle and Timothée Chalamet have previously hosted SNL; this time around, it will be their fourth and third appearances as hosts, respectively.
Indeed, it’s worth mentioning that this marks the first time the star of “Call Me By Your Name” has appeared as a musical guest. Let’s delve into what this might mean for his performance.
Timothée Chalamet Is Probably Being The Host And Musical Guest Because Of A Complete Unknown
It’s not uncommon for musicians to perform on Saturday Night Live (SNL) and serve as the musical guest as well. Interestingly, though, only four individuals without professional singing backgrounds have also been musical guests on SNL throughout its run, as reported by THR. Timothée Chalamet’s appearance will be a rare instance since 1995, when Deion Sanders took on both roles.
However, I think there’s a logical reason why Chalamet is doing this.
Though it’s intriguing to imagine Lil Timmy Tim performing his stats-focused rap on stage, I believe there’s a genuine and meaningful motive driving this unusual decision.
As a fervent admirer, I’d confidently wager that Timothée Chalamet could grace the stage to perform two songs by Bob Dylan, masterfully showcased in his critically acclaimed movie “A Complete Unknown.” In this film, he not only sings but does so with such conviction that it’s hard to tell him apart from the legendary Dylan himself.
As a movie enthusiast myself, I’d say this actor delivers an authentic portrayal, avoiding the pitfalls of over-the-top imitations, and his vocals are top-notch. Given that he’s an Oscar nominee, it’s clear he’s got the talent to belt out these tunes live on Saturday Night Live. Moreover, with awards season in full flow and the movie still gracing our cinema screens, this impromptu live performance is a brilliant move to maintain the buzz. After all, who would expect such an unexpected twist?
Yet, there’s always a chance that Chalamet may surprise us with something completely unforeseen, given his penchant for the unusual. In any case, I sense that whatever he chooses to do is bound to be quite captivating.
Be sure not to miss his appearance on Saturday Night Live on the 25th of January, airing at 11:30 p.m. Eastern Time on NBC, or if you have a Peacock subscription.
