Adele has revealed she will be hosting Saturday Night Live, the Emmy award winning late-night comedy sketch show, on Saturday October 24th. She will be joined by musical guest H.E.R. She announced the news on her social media saying; “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?”

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

Adele also revealed that it will be 12 years nearly to the day that she first appeared on SNL as a music guest in 2008, which helped her break into the U.S market. The host of that episode was then-US vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. The episode turned out to be one of the most-watched episodes ever. Now, in another election year, Adele has described presenting the show as a “full circle” moment for her career.

Fans have speculated that Adele will be releasing some of her new music during her appearance on the show. One fan said on social media: “IMAGINE IF WE GET A SINGLE OR HECK EVEN AN ALBUM FROM ADELE NEXT WEEK ALONGSIDE THE SNL HOSTING. OMG I’M GONNA FAINT Y’ALL.” Another said: “I’m sleeping with a smile on tonight knowing that Adele is coming back!”

However, it was revealed in August that Adele didn’t know when her album would be coming out because of the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic. Adele’s manager Jonathon Dickins reportedly said; “We’re all in the same boat, you’re doing stuff and then all of a sudden, the world stops. It’ll come when it’s ready. I can’t put a date on that yet.” There is a possibility new music could be announced at the show, but it also seems like we will be seeing a new side to Adele as she showcases her comedy side in the 46-season comedy skit show.

Adele will be appearing on SNL as the host on Saturday 24th of October with musical guest H.E.R.
