A habit change for the show
Each week,
Saturday Night Live
welcomes a star who participates in sketches, as well as an artist who performs on stage and offers two performances.
However, when the guest of honor is a singer, it is customary that it is he or she who also goes on stage.
Which was not the case for Adele.
At the time of opening the evening, the British explains this choice: her new album (the first since 2015) is not ready.
A postponement due to Covid-19.
She also ensures that she would be too stressed to learn the sketches and repeat two performances for the same evening.
And that, even if it had to choose, she had found it much funnier to put on wigs for fun.
In any case, the sequence was very popular on social networks.
Even if some Internet users have not succeeded in containing their desire to comment once again on the singer's weight loss.
The
Saturday Night Live
is available in France in full on MyCanal from Tuesday.
