In honour of Adele hosting 'SNL' this weekend, we take a look back at the singer-songwriter's other memorable firsts

Last night, Adele announced that she will make her hosting debut on&nbsp;Saturday Night Live on October 24. While it won&rsquo;t be the Grammy-winning&nbsp;singer&rsquo;s first time&nbsp;on&nbsp;SNL&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;that honour goes to her 2008 performance as a musical guest on the sketch comedy show &mdash; it will be her first time hosting a television show, ever.

&ldquo;Bloooooody hellllll I&rsquo;m so excited about this!! And also absolutely terrified!&quot; the star wrote in an Instagram post&nbsp;about her new gig.&nbsp;

Since launching to worldwide fame and critical success, Adele has grabbed headlines with&nbsp;her record-breaking talent. Her&nbsp;SNL&nbsp;stint only adds to a number of major milestones in the singer-songwriter&#39;s&nbsp;career&nbsp;&mdash; in honour,&nbsp;L&rsquo;Officiel&nbsp;rounds up her most memorable firsts.
