Timothée Chalamet Will Be Both Host and Musical Guest on ‘S.N.L.’

Chalamet’s turn as both host and musical guests in the same episode puts him in a rarefied club of fewer than 50 people who have pulled “double duty,” according to NBC. He will join the likes of the Rolling Stones, Olivia Newton-John, Jennifer Lopez, Janet Jackson, Billie Eilish and most recently Charli XCX, in November. Even rarer are “S.N.L.” musical guests who aren’t professional singers, a list that includes Gary Busey, Lily Tomlin and Deion Sanders.

NBC’s also shared that Dave Chappelle, the comedian, would host the first show of the year on Jan. 18, with GloRilla, the rapper from Memphis, Tenn., scheduled to be the musical guest. Chappelle hosted the post-presidential election episodes in 2016 and 2020, but last November that gig went instead to a different comedian, Bill Burr.
