Timothée Chalamet is no stranger to the Saturday Night Live stage, and he’s getting ready to hit it again. The Oscar-nominated actor has been set as the next SNL host ahead of the release of his highly-anticipated movie Wonka.
Chalamet made his Saturday Night Live debut during Season 46 back in late 2020, as a part of his promo tour for Dune. He’ll hit the SNL stage again on November 11, when he’s set to serve as the host alongside the musical guest Boygenius, the indie supergroup formed by Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus.
Saturday Night Live is now only three episodes into Season 49, and the list of previous hosts included comedians Pete Davidson and Nate Bargatze and Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny, who pulled the double duty during his hosting debut. Ice Spice and Foo Fighters also appeared as musical guests.
Chalamet will soon play the titular character in Wonka and he’ll return as Paul Atreides in Dune: Part Two next year, but it’s unclear if he’ll get to promote any of these projects on SNL. The SAG-AFTRA strike is not over yet, and he’s actually the first star with a major studio movie to host SNL since the start of the season.
