Timothée Chalamet’s Return as ‘SNL’ Host: All 6 Sketches Ranked

Timothée Chalamet hosted SNL for a third time and starred in six sketches that made it to air Saturday night (Jan. 25) in an episode that also had him on the bill as musical guest.

Pulling double duty as host and music act, Chalamet seamlessly shifted between being himself in his monologue and embracing his Bob Dylan side in his music performances — and portraying SNL sketch characters including a bungee class icon, a barista who thinks he’s a stand-up comedian, an AI creation, a small dog, an animated version of God and a gassy cardiologist. (Fans in the live rehearsal audience report there were sketches cut for time, like a Grammys roundtable skit that had Chalamet bringing back his SNL personality SmokeCheddaDaAssGetta. Fingers crossed it surfaces on SNL‘s YouTube channel later.)

“I’m so grateful Saturday Night Live is still doing weird stuff like this 50 years in,” Chalamet, who stars as Dylan in the biopic A Complete Unknown, joked to the audience during his monologue. “They’re either really nice for letting me do this or incredibly mean, and this is all a big prank. I sincerely can’t tell. We’ll find out.”

Chalamet seemed to overcome any nerves that accompany leading and performing on the SNL, which tapes in front of a live audience in New York. There are pre-taped sketches, as well, but all of the actor’s parts broadcast this weekend were live, other than his voiceover role as God. Perhaps Chalamet has his performing arts high school alter ego, the show-stealing rapper Timmy Tim, to thank for preparing him for this very moment.

One highlight of Saturday night’s episode not listed here is the cold open, which unfortunately didn’t feature Chalamet. It did have a surprise cameo by Lin-Manuel Miranda, who reprised his Hamilton role in a post-Trump inauguration sketch about America’s founding fathers.

Here’s a ranking of every sketch Chalamet was in Saturday night, when SNL‘s Jan. 25 episode aired. Watch all six sketches below.
