Timothee Chalamet is about to make television history by hosting and performing on Saturday Night Live in a super rare double-duty appearance. He'll join an incredibly exclusive group of performers who have taken on both hosting and musical roles on the legendary show. What makes this even more interesting is that Chalamet isn't primarily known as a musician, which makes his selection even more unique. With an ongoing Oscar campaign and his role in the Bob Dylan biopic, he's definitely having an incredible moment in his career right now.

Timothee Chalamet to host and perform on 'SNL'

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Chalamet will join an esteemed list of SNL hosts who have also served as musical guests, a group that includes legendary figures such as Paul Simon, Ray Charles, Elton John, and Britney Spears.

What sets Chalamet apart, however, is that, unlike his predecessors, he is not primarily known for his singing or musical talents. The last time a non-singer held both positions was in 1995, when NFL star Deion Sanders took on the dual roles.

On the work front, Chalamet is currently gaining attention for his role in A Complete Unknown, a Bob Dylan biopic in which he performs several of Dylan's songs.

Chalamet is also in the midst of a potential Oscar campaign. With nominations set to be announced on January 17, he is a leading contender for the Best Actor award. If he wins, he would become the youngest actor ever to claim the honor.

The current record-holder is Adrien Brody, who won the award at the age of 29 in 2003 for his performance in The Pianist.
