Adele has been announced as host for next week’s episode of Saturday Night Live (October 24), opposite musical guest H.E.R. The pop singer has appeared on the comedy sketch show two times in the past, but this will mark her first time as host.
Revealing the news on Instagram, Adele wrote: “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?”
She also noted that her turn as host comes nearly 12 years to the day of her first SNL appearance, which helped break her career in the US. “It feels full circle and I just couldn’t possibly say no!” she continued. “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.”
Back in February, Adele said she was planning to release a new album in September. Her last album, 25, arrived in November of 2015.
