SINGER Adele, 32, returned to the sketch show for the first time since 2015, when she appeared as a musical guest. As this weekend’s emcee, she was radiant, relaxed and her usual ebullient self.
"I know there's been a lot of chatter about me just being the host. I've seen all of that. Like, why isn't she the musical guest?" she said. "There's a couple of reasons. My album's not finished and I'm also too scared to do both. I'd rather just put on some wigs … have a glass of wine or six and just see what happens."
The Grammy winner briefly addressed her new look in her opening monologue:
"I know I look really, really different since you last saw me, but actually because of all the COVID restrictions and the travel bans, I had to travel light and only bring half of me. And this is the half I chose."
In The Bachelor episode, looking resplendent in a black evening gown, Adele played herself as a contestant competing for the affections of Ben K. (Beck Bennett) against a field of younger women who all seemed to be named Hannah.
"I'm Adele Atkins. I'm 32. You may know me for being the singer Adele. I'm here because I had a lot of heartbreak in life, first at 19, then kind of famously at 21 and then ever more famously at 25," she said, introducing herself to viewers. "I have a really good feeling about Ben K. I can already tell he’s going to be the next love of my life."
