Timothée Chalamet has hosted Saturday Night Live before, but for him, the musical guest slot has remained a complete unknown — until now.

As announced Friday (Jan. 10), the actor will return to 30 Rock on Jan. 25 for his third time hosting the NBC comedy series, this time serving as his own musical guest. Chalamet is fresh off portraying one of music’s greatest living legends, Bob Dylan, in James Mangold’s biopic of the folk-rock star, A Complete Unknown. The Dune actor did all of his own vocals for the project.


Chalamet first appeared on SNL in 2020. Three years later, he hosted the program again, spawning one particularly memorable sketch in which he portrayed Troye Sivan in the form of a sleep-paralysis hallucination.

The week prior to Chalamet’s upcoming hosting stint, GloRilla will make her musical guest debut on SNL‘s Jan. 18 episode. Dave Chappelle will helm the show that week, marking the stand-up comedian’s fourth time as host.

The news comes almost three months after the release of the Memphis rapper’s debut solo album, Glorious, which reached No. 5 on the Billboard 200. The project spawned the single “TGIF,” which peaked at No. 22 on the Billboard Hot 100, Glo’s highest-reaching unaccompanied entry on the chart.

SNL is currently on its 50th season, with a special anniversary episode planned for Feb. 16. Ariana Grande, Charli XCX, John Mulaney, Chris Rock, Martin Short and more have also hosted episodes this season, while Hozier, Gracie Abrams, Stevie Nicks and more stars have served as musical guests.

Coldplay Calls Rogers Stadium 'A Very Bizarre Stadium a Million Miles From Earth' at Second Toronto Concert

In their second of four shows on Tuesday night (July 8), the British band said "we are testing the premise, 'if you build it they will come.' But their majestic Music of the Spheres show also showed off the new venue's unique strengths.

Coldplay took the stage for the second of four concerts at Rogers Stadium in Toronto on Tuesday night (July 8), which also held the distinction of being the third overall show at the brand new 50,000-capacity Downsview venue.

If you ask Live Nation Canada's President of Music, Erik Hoffman, they are also one of the major reasons it was built. In their first two shows, though, Chris Martin hasn't exactly had flattering things to say about it. On night one, he called it a "weird stadium in the middle of nowhere," and he went even further on the second night calling the venue a "very bizarre stadium a million miles from Earth."
