\n\tIt\u2019s official: Role Model has updated his enemies list.<\/p>\n

\n\tThings are moving along nicely for the singer and songwriter. He opened for rising star Gracie Abrams in 2024 and 2025. The 29-year-old is set to star alongside Natalie Portman and Mark Ruffalo in the theatrical version of Good Sex<\/em> (after the Netflix romcom of the same name), due out in cinemas next year. His new album, Chuck Timely & The Hourglass<\/em>, dropped at midnight. And, to promote it, he stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Kimmel<\/em> for a live performance from Chuck Timely<\/em>, and his first interview with the late-night show\u2019s host.<\/p>\n

\n\tWith fame, comes haters and foes. For some years, Role Model has kept a list of enemies close to his heart \u2013 or at least, in his pocket, on his Notes app.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt started with People<\/em> magazine, he told Fallon. MTV has graced its updating pages. So has Charli XCX (for a curious reason. She\u2019s now in his good books). Fallon was on the list<\/em>. He was the last person added to it, punishment for laughing at Role Model\u2019s real name \u2014 Tucker Pillsbury.<\/p>\n

\n\tWith his visit to NBC\u2019s studios, which aired late Thursday, Aug. 6, Role Model has cleared Fallon\u2019s name. Phew.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe introspective Chuck Timely & The Hourglass <\/em>includes the previously released single \u201cHigh Hopes 3000,\u201d which\u00a0hit\u00a0No. 94 on the\u00a0Billboard Hot 100, and serves as the followup to 2024\u2019s Kansas Anymore<\/em> (Role Model is from Maine, by the way). An extended, \u201cLongest Goodbye\u201d version of Kansas Anymore<\/em> carried \u201cSally, When the Wine Runs Out,\u201d which entered\u00a0Billboard<\/em>\u2018s\u00a0Alternative Adult Airplay\u00a0chart back in 2025 and remains one of Role Model\u2019s biggest songs to date. <\/p>\n

Chuck Timely <\/em>is, essentially, a concept album. \u201cI wanted to have this character to represent the themes on the album,\u201d he tells Fallon. \u201cA lot of it is about time and time passing. And I was in this two-year period of being single and my friends were getting married\u2026\u201d And, well, here we are.<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring his debut stint on the couch, Role Model recounted how he got the call to support Gracie Abrams on her The Secret of Us North America<\/em> tour during the fall of 2024 and with select dates the following year. It was an instant \u201cyes,\u201d and the experience \u201cwent on to, like, change the trajectory of my career,\u201d he recounts. \u201cWe love Gracie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tRole Model also stuck around for the TV debut of \u201cHarmony,\u201d the closing track on his new LP, with support from a chorus of backing vocalist, all dressed in chambray shirts and blue jeans.<\/p>\n

\n\tWatch the performance of \u201cHarmony\u201d below. And stream Chuck Timely & The Hourglass<\/em> in full.<\/p>\n
