It’s been four years since Adele stepped onto the SNL stage and as a host, she absolutely killed it!

Following last week’s SNL announcement, Adele posted a sweet message on Instagram, explaining how excited she was to return to SNL, “My first-ever hosting gig and for SNL of all things!!!! I’ve always wanted to do it as a stand-alone moment, so that I could roll up my sleeves and fully throw myself into it, but the time has never been right. But if there was ever a time for any of us to jump headfirst into the deep end with our eyes closed and hope for the best it’s 2020 right? It’ll be almost 12 years to the day that I first appeared on the show, during an election…which went on to break my career in America, so it feels full circle and I just couldn’t possibly say no! I am besides myself that H.E.R will be the musical guest!! I love her SO much I can’t wait to melt into a flaming hot mess when she performs, then confuse myself while I laugh my arse off in between it all. See you next week.”

Bloooooody hellllll I’m so excited about this!! And also absolutely terrified! My first ever hosting gig and for SNL of all things!!!! I’ve always wanted to do it as a stand alone moment, so that I could roll up my sleeves and fully throw myself into it, but the time has never been right. But if there was ever a time for any of us to jump head first into the deep end with our eyes closed and hope for the best it’s 2020 right? Itll be almost 12 years to the day that I first appeared on the show, during an election…which went on to break my career in America, so it feels full circle and I just couldn’t possibly say no! I am besides myself that H.E.R will be the musical guest!! I love her SO much I can’t wait to melt into a flaming hot mess when she performs, then confuse myself while I laugh my arse off in between it all. See you next week ??????????

During her SNL monologue, Adele made a joke about her weight loss, “I know I look really really different than when you last saw me, but because of the Covid restrictions and the travel bans, I had to travel light and bring only half of me, so this is the half that I chose.”

Adele continues, “I’m absolutely thrilled to finally be hosting this show. A show that not only do I genuinely love, but the show that broke my career here in America, 12 very long years ago.  See, I was a musical guest back in 2008 when Sarah Palin came on with Ms. Tina Fey. So obviously, a few million people tuned in to watch it and you know, the rest is now history. Now, I don’t know anything about American politics. I mean, I’m British, you know? And I don’t want to say anything too political, so I’ll just say this, ‘Sarah Palin, listen, thanks.  I know there’s a lot of chat about me being the host. Why is she not the musical guest? My album isn’t finished and I’m too scared to do both. I’d rather just put on some wigs and this is all mine by the way. Have a glass of wine or six and see what happens.”
