Chalamet that has just achieved a nomination for best male lead role to play Bob Dylan in the biopic A completely unknown, returned to Studio 8h to host the long -lasting sketch comedy series for the third time, after taking over the tasks in 2020 and 2023 (he also made a surprisekomeo under Carey Mulligan‘s episode in season 46).

Unlike his other performances, the chalamet lived up this by also doubling as the musical guest and putting him in line with e.g. Taylor SwiftAt Lady Gagaand his colleague 2025 Oscar-nominated Ariana Grande (Evil). Here are the best moments from Chalamet’s third host concert, from his opening monologue to the best sketches.

Cold open

No episode of Snl would be complete without a cold open lamponing week in politics, but this one started with a wild left turn. The sketch took us back to the signing of the US Constitution, with a multi -time and multi -racist crew that portrayed the founders. Hamilton Creator Lin-Manuel Miranda Get out of the crowd like – who else? – Alexander Hamilton To pronounce the famous phrase: “In America we will never have a king.” “Never never say,” said Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson), when he emerged from the wings to speak to the crowd when Miranda was frozen behind him. Trump talked about his order to end Dei initiatives and said, “Workplaces must return to look like the TV show The office“With mainly white employees and a fun black guy.

Trump recalled his deployment and remembered, “We had a lot of surprises at the inauguration, just like Melania.” He commented on the various billionaires present from the Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg to Tesla and X-Owner Elon Musk. “We love Elon,” said Trump, “but to quote some of his own children, I don’t want him in my life.” He boasted with his various regulations, especially the transphobic that there are only two genders. “From now on there will be two genders: one to work and one to cook,” he boasted. “No more makeup on men unless you need it to be president.” He even tried to get Miranda to crack as he held his frozen position and joked, “He is at a sniffing of an Egot, and he has to stand there frozen until I finish talking.” Before he signed out, Trump admitted he had “fulfilled all my promises, except to lower the price of eggs.”

Chalamet’s monologue

Chalamet greeted the audience by acknowledging that even though it was the third time he hosted it, it was his first, “with a little stache and a small bump.” It was also the first time he would also be the musical guest, which made him the rare actor who also sang during their host concert. “That’s a difference I share with the big Gary Busey,” he joked. Chalamet teased the performances of Bob Dylan songs to promote his performance in A completely unknown, And gave a heartfelt tribute to the film’s eight Oscar nominations, including one for him in the best actor. This is the second time he is competing for that price after 2017’s Call me by your name, And the chalamet admitted that it is not exactly an honor just to be nominated.

“I just keep losing,” he said, “and every time it becomes harder to pretend that it wasn’t stinging,” before introducing a montage of clips from awards where he had competed and came short. “Just another lonely night with my Dune Popcorn bucket,” he said. He decided to use this opportunity to “read the thank -you speech I’ve had in my pocket for four years,” and sat down among the audience to give it the full awards experience. He gave the envelope to an audience who announced the winner as … Keenan Thompson.
