Hello, It’s Adele’s Funny Side
And we must have laughed a thousand times. While hosting Saturday Night Live for the first time, Adele set fire to the stage with an opening monologue about her music (that album still isn’t ready) and her dramatic transformation. “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,” the 32-year-old joked. “And this is the half I chose.”
But it was her Bachelor sketch—she played herself as a contestant vying for Ben K’s heart—that really had us rolling in the deep with laughs. “I’m here because I’ve had a lot of heartbreak,” she said. “It’s only night one but I could already tell he’s the love of my life.” Except, she was a little too dramatic, even for The Bachelor. When she didn’t land the first impression rose, she belted out “Someone Like You” and when another contestant got one-on-one time, she spied on from the bushes, giving “Hello” an, er, interesting twist. Ultimately, she was sent packing, but, no worries, because Adele will always get our final rose.
