The person behind the punchline

A little backstory.

Adele is an English singer and songwriter whose Saturday Night Live appearances have included both musical performances and sketch comedy. She hosted the programme in 2020, appearing opposite Pete Davidson in Chad in a Haunted Mansion. In that sketch she plays the ghost of a murdered wife, bringing a dramatic horror character into Chad’s unruffled comic world.

Born Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, she studied at the BRIT School before releasing the albums 19, 21, 25 and 30. Her songs include Rolling in the Deep, Someone Like You and Hello. She also won an Academy Award for Skyfall, the title song of the James Bond film.
