And he broke character during a hint-laden tourism publicity sketch.
Here are Adele’s best sketches from SNL this week:
The Bachelor
Adele appeared as herself in a parody of The Bachelor, a dating show that is one of the most popular shows on American television.
It gave the producers an excuse to allow the Grammy winner to show off her skills.
During the skit, Adele, who split from her husband Simon Konecki last year, said she’s no stranger to heartbreak, joking about her age-inspired album titles.
She sang a Hello parody from inside a bush while interrupting a love rival’s date with the bachelor.
The sketch had a tribune finish, with Adele singing her 2011 ballad Someone Like You.
Adele closed the skit by joking, “Catch me next week on Love Island!”

Adele plays a woman who visits a psychic with her friends in 2019, asking for advice about the future in a pre-pandemic world.
The singer asks about a big promotion in March, but is told that only tears and home deliveries await her in the future.
“I like going to museums and concerts and things like that,” says Adele.
Kate McKinnon’s psychic responds: “No, no, I don’t see concerts in 2020.”
The sketch also referenced the controversy over JK Rowling’s transgender comments. McKinnon said, “If any of you see JK Rowling, please tell her to stick to the books.”
Destination Africa
Adele struggled to stay calm as she burst out laughing during a sketch promoting Africa as a destination for single women.
Standing on a beach next to McKinnon, the couple read aloud a list full of innuendo from the best parts of the continent.
Adele broke character, laughing as she struggled to pronounce the word “bamboo.”
A title card at the end of the sketch described Africa as “the number one destination for divorcees of a certain age.”
Adele visits a nursing home
In another Coronavirus-themed sketch, Adele played a granddaughter taking her boyfriend, played by Pete Davidson, to visit her grandmother in a nursing home.
Due to social distancing rules, she has to yell at Maya Rudolph’s hearing-impaired grandmother, and it turns out that Adele’s relationship is strained because her partner lost her job.
“I’m dating a man without a job,” Adele yells. The sketch ends with the revelation that the grandmother has squandered her grandchildren’s inheritance.
