Saturday Night Live: Is there a new episode tonight? Meet the July 19 host and musical guest

On January 25, 2025, Timothée Chalamet made history by both hosting and performing as the Musical Guest on Saturday Night Live. It’s not every day you see a Hollywood actor taking on both roles, but for Chalamet, it was the perfect opportunity. With his critically acclaimed performance as Bob Dylan in the 2024 biopic “A Complete Unknown,” he had already proven his talent. Plus, he had showcased his singing and rapping skills in previous SNL appearances, like the ballad “Tiny Horse” and the rap duo Xan Mob in Season 46.

Now, fast forward to this weekend’s SNL episode on July 19, 2025. Unfortunately, the show is not new tonight, as it has been on summer hiatus since the May 17 finale with Scarlett Johansson and Bad Bunny. But let’s not forget the excitement of Chalamet’s previous SNL appearance as both Host and Musical Guest.

Who else could be more fitting to fill both roles than Timothée Chalamet himself? The actor graced the SNL stage for the third time as Host, but this time, he also showcased his musical talent on January 25, 2025. Performing alongside musician James Blake, Chalamet wowed the audience with their rendition of “Three Angels.”

During his monologue, Chalamet humorously acknowledged the significance of the moment, highlighting that it was the first time an actor had taken on the Musical Guest role at SNL. While he joked about sharing this distinction with Gary Busey, it’s worth noting that Busey’s appearance as Musical Guest in 1979 was in addition to the billed musicians.

Chalamet’s exceptional performance included three Bob Dylan songs, a homage to the icon himself. From “Outlaw Blues” to “Three Angels” to “Tomorrow Is a Long Time,” Chalamet’s musical talent shone through. With his range of abilities on full display, Chalamet proved that he’s a force to be reckoned with in both the acting and music worlds.
