Saturday Night Live Shares Image of Host Adele at Table Read
Following in Chris Rock, Bill Burr, and Issa Rae's footsteps, multi-Grammy Award-winning singer Adele is set to take the stage of Studio 8H as this week's host of NBC's Saturday Night Live. Joining her as the musical performer is… well… H.E.R. (sorry about that), taking the stage previously "owned" by Megan Thee Stallion, Jack White, and Justin Bieber as the musical performer. Now we're getting a look at Adele in action as the series preps for Saturday night. Is it the promo video we were hoping for? Nope, sorry- but that should be coming on Thursday. For now, we're getting a look at Adele in the middle of one of the week's cast table reads/run-throughs.
Here's a look at the tweet sent out by SNL, followed by a better look at the preview image of Adele:
Here's a look back at the original announcement tweet from SNL earlier this week, followed by Adele's reaction to the news via Instagram:
