00:00Timothy Chalamet is set to appear on an upcoming episode of Saturday Night Live as both the host
00:04and musical guest, making him the first non-professional singer in 30 years to do so.
00:11In the 50-year history of the NBC sketch series, 41 people have served as both host and musical
00:17guest on the same night, including stars like Taylor Swift, Paul Simon, Ray Charles, Elton
00:23John and Britney Spears. Of them, only four have been non-professional singers or musicians.
00:29The most recent example being 30 years ago with Deion Sanders on February 18,
00:331995. The other non-pro singers to both host and perform on SNL as the musical guest include Lily
00:40Tomlin, Desi Arnaz and Gary Busey. Chalamet will be added to that list on Saturday, January 25.
00:47The star of the Bob Dylan drama A Complete Unknown is known to be a huge fan of rap music,
00:52but presumably he'll limit his musical contributions to a few Dylan covers,
00:56perhaps Blown in the Wind or Like a Rolling Stone.
00:59The timing couldn't be much better for Chalamet, who is vying to become, at age 29,
01:03the youngest Best Actor Oscar winner in history. Oscar nominations will have been announced on
01:08January 17, and the final round of Oscar voting won't begin until February 11.
