Timothée Chalamet Takes on Bob Dylan for His 'SNL' Musical Performance
This week’s Saturday Night Live episode had something truly special for fans, as Timothée Chalamet not only hosted the show for the third time but also made his debut as the musical guest. Yes, you read that right—Timothée Chalamet, known for his incredible acting chops, took on the double duty of emcee and performer on this iconic stage. As if that wasn’t enough, he went a step further and gave us a treat by channeling none other than Bob Dylan himself.
Chalamet, who was recently nominated for an Oscar for his role as Dylan in A Complete Unknown , kept the connection strong on SNL . During his musical segment, he performed a series of Bob Dylan’s lesser-known tracks—ones that even dedicated Dylan fans might not be familiar with. It was an exciting twist, as Chalamet didn’t go for the obvious hits but instead chose some hidden gems from the legendary singer-songwriter’s catalogue.

He first rocked the stage with “Outlaw Blues,” a lively, energetic track from Dylan’s 1965 album Bringing It All Back Home . This track set the tone, with Chalamet displaying a surprising amount of swagger while performing. Then, he took things down a notch, slowing it down with “Three Angels,” a more introspective, spoken-word piece from Dylan’s 1970 New Morning album. Chalamet was accompanied by Grammy-winning musician James Blake, who provided backing vocals and played the keyboard, adding a haunting layer to the performance.
In his second musical segment, Chalamet sat down with an acoustic guitar and serenaded viewers with a mellow rendition of “Tomorrow Is a Long Time,” a non-album track from Bob Dylan’s Greatest Hits Volume II . His performance here was tender and quiet, showing off his softer side, and it felt like a tribute to the introspective Dylan songs that have touched so many hearts over the years. It’s clear Chalamet has a deep respect for Dylan, and his musical tribute on SNL was a fitting homage to the folk legend.
What made this appearance even more memorable was the surprise introduction by Adam Sandler, who took a moment to joke about how much he admired Chalamet. As if this wasn’t enough, Chalamet’s performance comes just after he received his second Oscar nomination, this time for portraying Bob Dylan, which only adds to the growing anticipation around his career.
With his performance on SNL , Timothée Chalamet showed us not only his acting abilities but his musical versatility. The double duty of hosting and performing brought a fresh excitement to the episode, and his musical tribute to Bob Dylan will surely be one of the standout moments of this SNL season. If you missed it, don’t worry—you can catch the replay on Peacock or stream it the next day.
