Adele set fire to Saturday Night Live. The pop superstar made her highly anticipated hosting debut on the sketch comedy show, alongside musical guest H.E.R. The episode drew a 5.0 “live plus same day” rating in 44 metered market households and a 2.4 among adults 18-49 in the 25 markets with local people meters.

Official-national ratings are due from Nielsen on Tuesday, Oct.27.

Like, ‘Why is she not the musical guest?’ and stuff like that,” Adele acknowledged. “Well, there’s a couple of reasons: My album’s not finished, and I’m too scared to do both. I’d rather just put on wigs, have a glass of wine or six, and see what happens!” she added.

The first sketch of the night placed Adele among a group of friends visiting a fortune teller in 2019 and trying to decipher the cryptic visions of adult coloring books and excommunicating friends for eating inside a restaurant in 2020.
