Get ready for an exciting new year as the iconic show *Saturday Night Live* makes its highly-anticipated return! NBC has officially announced that comedy legend Dave Chappelle will host the opening episode on January 18, followed by none other than Timothée Chalamet joining him as both host and musical guest the following week, January 25.

Chappelle, known for his groundbreaking stand-up comedy and insightful social commentary, is coming right off the success of his latest special, *The Dreamer*. This will mark his fourth hosting gig on *SNL*, having previously captivated audiences in November 2016, 2020, and 2022. Chappelle's unique brand of humor is sure to bring a fresh perspective to the show, especially with his knack for tackling hot topics.

Joining Chappelle on January 18 will be viral sensation GloRilla, who is making waves in the music industry with her catchy single "Yeah Glo!", which earned her two Grammy nominations this year. Viewers can expect a powerhouse performance from her that night!

On January 25, the spotlight turns to Timothée Chalamet as he takes on dual roles. The talented actor is not only the host but will also showcase his musical prowess, likely performing songs from his upcoming film *A Complete Unknown*, where he portrays the legendary Bob Dylan. In this James Mangold-directed biopic, audiences will follow Dylan's journey during his formative years, particularly the pivotal moment of his electric guitar debut at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.

Chalamet has quite a repertoire in the film, singing around 40 Dylan songs while also playing the guitar and harmonica. Fans are particularly excited about seeing this multi-talented star bring Dylan's music to life on the *SNL* stage, making this a must-watch event.

After these thrilling episodes, *SNL* won’t rest for long. The show will return in mid-February to commemorate a major milestone—its 50th anniversary—with a special live broadcast titled *SNL50: The Anniversary Special* on Sunday, Feb. 16. Expect to see beloved former cast members and surprise guests celebrating this iconic legacy.

With both Chappelle and Chalamet in the lineup, SNL is kicking off the new year with a bang. Don’t miss out—tune in for a night filled with laughter, music, and unforgettable moments as *Saturday Night Live* continues to dominate the late-night comedy scene!
