Timothée Chalamet Shines on SNL with Bob Dylan Tribute

Timothée Chalamet made a memorable appearance on Saturday Night Live on January 25, 2025, pulling double duty as both host and musical guest. The actor, fresh off an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, performed three lesser-known Dylan songs during the show, delighting fans and Dylanologists alike.

Chalamet kicked off his musical segment with a lively medley of “Outlaw Blues” and “Three Angels,” accompanied by James Blake on keyboards. He later returned for a more subdued acoustic performance of “Tomorrow Is a Long Time,” showcasing his own voice rather than mimicking Dylan’s iconic style. The song choices, described as personal favorites, surprised many viewers but highlighted Chalamet’s deep appreciation for Dylan’s catalog.

In his opening monologue, Chalamet humorously addressed his string of award show losses, joking about the sting of repeatedly coming up short. He even attempted to deliver a long-prepared acceptance speech, only to be upstaged by Kenan Thompson, who quipped, “Go ahead, little b—h,” as he handed the spotlight back to Chalamet.

The episode also featured a mix of sketches, including a bizarre family reunion where Chalamet’s character farted in an elderly woman’s face and a barista training session that saw him channeling Chris Rock-style comedy. Despite the mixed reception to some sketches, Chalamet’s energy and willingness to embrace the absurdity of SNL were evident throughout the night.

Chalamet’s appearance was part of a broader promotional push for A Complete Unknown, which has garnered critical acclaim and multiple Oscar nominations. His quirky, offbeat approach to the press tour, including riding a bike to a premiere and making a surprise appearance at his own lookalike contest, has only added to his charm and appeal as one of Hollywood’s most versatile young stars.
