Timothée Chalamet and Jason Momoa to Host SNL Amid Anticipation of SAG-AFTRA Deal

The returning hosts, both scheduled for their second time on SNL, navigate ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, restricting promotion of their upcoming films during SNL appearances.

  • Timothée Chalamet and Jason Momoa are hosting Saturday Night Live (SNL) on November 11 and November 18 respectively, marking their second appearances as hosts.
  • Their hosting duties take place within the context of ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, limiting the actors' ability to promote their upcoming films on SNL; Chalamet stars in ‘Wonka,’ set for December 15 release, and Momoa headlines in 'Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom' releasing on December 22.
  • Chalamet and Momoa are supposedly appearing on SNL to promote their fashion campaigns, although industry speculation suggests this may be a workaround for the SAG restrictions.
  • 'SNL' and its lineup of movie stars are readying themselves for a possible deal between the actors' guild (SAG-AFTRA) and the studios (the AMPTP, or the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers) which could end the 116-day-long actors strike.
  • Despite the strike, SNL has been able to continue production as it falls under a different contract category as a sketch and variety show.
