Hello? says Adele as Matthew Mc Conaughey hands her a flip-phone during SNL teaser trailer

Adele returned to the show for the first time since 2008 on the heels of her new album "25."

McConaughey started hitting his sweet spot during the back half of the show, and no other sketch capitalized so fully on his talents as "3D Printer Man", which let the actor hammily tap into stiffness, weirdness and a whole lot of questionable movement, all stirred up with undeniable charisma.

The November 21 edition of Saturday Night Live tackled a topic relevant to anyone with relatives who won't shut up with their odious opinions: Thanksgiving dinner.

Who was better last night: Matthew McConaughey or Adele?

Matthew McConaughey may be the star of high-grossing movies and an Oscar victor, but after 20 years, his "Dazed and Confused" catchphrase, "alright, alright, alright", continues to follow him.

The multi-award-winning singer Adele gave her fans a treat with a soulful rendition of her hit single "Hello". "But there's one thing that unites us all" flashed across the screen during the video, in reference to Adele's music. But here, with McConaughey doing a painfully low-energy turn as a Duck Dynasty-look turkey chef overcome by those oven cleaner fumes, this one just died (despite Kate McKinnon's expertly abrupt fall out of camera range as a woozy Ed Sheeran). A young girl thanked Adele for the Thanksgiving miracle. It's a hurricane of impersonations both familiar (Aidy Bryant's Reba McEntire) and otherwise (Jon Rudnitsky's John Mayer.) Eventually, Star Wars stars Daisy Ridley and John Boyega join the crew, along with, rather inexplicably, Emma Stone and Jon Hamm. This was only Adele's second appearance on SNL. Bobby Moynihan pulled off a spot-on George Lucas impersonation, saying, "I'm not the George Lucas you're looking for", and, "I find your lack of Coke Zero disturbing".

She sang, too, of course - and not just one but two soaring cuts from her long-awaited blockbuster album, 25.

She won over British viewers in an-hour long TV special with Graham Norton on Friday. The sketch took direct aim at internet outrage culture, with DeGeneres asking, "What gives you the confidence to chime in?" before sounding the "All Lives Matter" alarm because, "someone always says, "all lives matter". "It has been 14 years since I did this show", he said, "and I gotta tell you, I did not remember how much work it is". "Although it completes that triptych of A Bit Much, and then a few, the world is a better place for this sketch having delivered unto it an image of Thomas the Tank Engine with a Hitler mustache, and the phrase "$22 smile".
