Timothée Chalamet brought his Bob Dylan character to Studio 8H during his Saturday Night Live appearance on Jan. 25.

The 29-year-old actor, who portrays the folk icon in the new film A Complete Unknown, took on dual roles as both host and musical guest for the evening. As anticipated, Chalamet embraced his Dylan persona during his musical segments, delivering a trio of songs by the legendary artist.

Introduced by SNL alum Adam Sandler, Chalamet opened with a high-energy rendition of “Outlaw Blues,” which smoothly transitioned into a more intimate, spoken-word version of “Three Angels,” accompanied by surprise guest James Blake on keyboards and backing vocals.

Later in the episode, Chalamet returned with an acoustic guitar for a heartfelt cover of “Tomorrow Is a Long Time,” with Blake once again supporting him on vocals and keys. During his opening monologue, Chalamet shared that he chose these songs because they are his “personal favorites.”

Fresh off portraying Dylan in James Mangold’s A Complete Unknown — which has earned eight Academy Award nominations, including best picture — Chalamet previously revealed that he performed all his own vocals for the film.

Saturday marked Chalamet’s first time serving as SNL’s musical guest, although he’s appeared on the show twice before. He first hosted in 2020 and returned in 2023, starring in a viral sketch where he portrayed Troye Sivan in a sleep-paralysis hallucination.

SNL is currently in its 50th season, with a special anniversary episode set for Feb. 16. This season has also featured notable hosts like Ariana Grande, Charli XCX, John Mulaney, Chris Rock and Martin Short, while musical guests have included Hozier, Gracie Abrams and Stevie Nicks, among others.
