Timothée Chalamet Prepares for 'SNL' Hosting and Musical Guest Debut With Lookalikes

The actor, set to host and perform on January 25, enlists doppelgängers in a humorous promo referencing a viral lookalike contest.

  • Timothée Chalamet will serve as both host and musical guest on the January 25 episode of Saturday Night Live, marking his first time performing music on the show.
  • In a promotional skit, Chalamet humorously recruits four lookalikes to assist with hosting duties, allowing him to focus on his musical performance.
  • The promo references an October 2024 viral lookalike contest in New York City’s Washington Square Park, which Chalamet unexpectedly attended.
  • The actor’s musical performance ties into his role as Bob Dylan in the biopic 'A Complete Unknown,' for which he performed his own vocals.
  • This will be Chalamet’s third time hosting SNL, following appearances in 2020 and 2023, but his first time taking on dual roles on the show.
