Timothée Chalamet is set to triple threat the stage as both host and musical guest on 'SNL' January 25, 2025, promising a night of harmonicas, impressions, and at least three humble nods to Oscar buzz.

In a move that could redefine the term 'one-man show,' Timothée Chalamet will bring his talent and Oscar buzz to 'SNL' after impressively training with a harmonica coach for five years to portray Bob Dylan in his latest film, 'A Complete Unknown.' With Dave Chappelle hosting the week before, audiences are anticipating whether Chalamet’s performance will spark a new genre of musical sketches or simply be one long, melodious humblebrag.

Chalamet, who has hosted 'SNL' in December 2020 and November 2023, is scheduled to host again on January 25, 2025. He seems to have a penchant for stepping into the limelight with a flourish. His comedic timing has been honed over these appearances, where he deftly navigated the show's live audience while making the whole ordeal look easier than folding a fitted sheet.

Now, as a host, Chalamet lends an air of youthful charm to the set, often juxtaposed against the seasoned comedic giants that typically grace the stage. Notably, Chloe Fineman has often taken it upon herself to impersonate Chalamet, capturing his essence for late-night laughs. The audience has responded positively, which may lead some to wonder if the impersonations are truly flattering or merely an indication of his increasingly meme-worthy status among the viewing public.

Chalamet's return to 'SNL' is poised not only to deliver comedy but also the musical flair he has been cultivating for his on-screen portrayal of Bob Dylan. His intense five-year harmonica training has raised eyebrows and questions alike: what does one actually do for five years while training with a harmonica coach? One imagines long hours of breath control exercises coupled with profound reflections on Bob Dylan's discography, or perhaps just a lot of groupies wondering what exactly a harmonica coach looks like on a daily basis.

As 'A Complete Unknown' garners Oscar buzz — nearly reaching stratospheric heights — it’s evident that Chalamet’s artistic pursuits extend beyond just holding a harmonica. Critics have been whispering (or perhaps shouting) about his performance, praising his uncanny ability to channel Dylan while remaining unmistakably himself. This duality only serves to heighten anticipation for his upcoming 'SNL' episode, a platform known for launching careers and, occasionally, musical careers that never quite make the charts.

With the support of gifted writers and his previous two stints, the expectation is high that Chalamet will cater to several genres of comedy — from skits that poke fun at modern celebrity life to musical numbers that express his newfound harmonica prowess. After all, if the 28-year-old actor delivers a heartfelt (yet humorous) rendition of ‘Blowin’ in the Wind,’ audiences might have to rethink their playlists for Monday morning commutes.

In the lead-up to his January 25 show, Chalamet's cameo on 'SNL' from April 2021 still remains a conversation starter among fans. Many recollect the subtle hilarity of watching him weave in and out of sketches, earning chuckles and genuine applause alike. Undoubtedly, the impressions of young actors bursting into laughter amidst his gravitas-filled performances may become a trending moment in the midst of his latest stint.

As January 25 approaches, the question on every fan's mind remains: will Chalamet showcase his wonderful whimsy in skits or lean into the musical side of his persona? Perhaps a chaotic blend of the two is in store, where a harmonica might unexpectedly pop up in an otherwise serious sketch about existential ennui in celebrity culture. Whatever direction it takes, expectations hint at an exciting evening filled with charm, laughter, and hints of Oscar anticipation, leaving fans curious about how he will weave his eclectic abilities into an illustrious night.

While Chalamet preps for this spectacular triple-threat role, one can't help but wonder if he has any tricks up his sleeve, perhaps a few hidden sketches related to his upcoming appearance. One thing is clear: ‘SNL’ fans are in for a treat.

Thus, as the weekend nears and buzz grows around his hosting duties, we can only wait and see how the harmonicas play out, how many impressions he can endure, and just how many humble mentions of these Oscars actually make the final cut. The only certainty is that with Timothée Chalamet in the mix, it certainly won't be a mundane night.
