*Dave Chappelle is set to host the first episode of Saturday Night Live in 2025, airing on January 18, with GloRilla making her SNL debut as the musical guest.
“GloRilla will make her SNL debut as the episode’s Musical Guest,” said the NBC announcement, The Blast reports. “The multi-platinum-selling rapper is also a Grammy nominee, receiving two nods for her hit single “Yeah Glo!”
The network also revealed that Timothée Chalamet will take on hosting duties the following week, doubling as the musical guest.
“Live from New York, ‘Saturday Night Live’ is kicking off 2025 with two superstar Hosts and Musical Guests you won’t want to miss,” per the NBC announcement. “As the show celebrates its landmark 50 years on NBC, Season 50 has already featured 10 excellent Hosts — and it’s enlisted two returning Hosts to kick off the second half of this cycle.”
“Dave Chappelle hosts the first 2025 episode of ‘Saturday Night Live’ on January 18. The Emmy-winning stand-up comedian and actor, who has hosted post-election episodes in past years (most recently in November 2022), will come back to Studio 8H on January 18. This will be his fourth turn as Host.”

Chalamet will host on January 25, marking his third appearance on the show. In the James Mangold-directed film released late last year, he stars as Bob Dylan, performing around 40 of Dylan’s songs while playing guitar and harmonica.
SNL will celebrate its 50th anniversary with a live primetime broadcast, SNL50: The Anniversary Special, on Sunday, Feb. 16.
