Virginia Sherwood/NBC NBC_Adele_Special_4 - H 2015

Nearly a month ago, Adele took over Radio City Music Hall to tape a one-night-only concert – her first show in four years. It was Nov. 17, just days before her anticipated album, 25, would drop and eventually break numerous sales records. But it had also been only a few days after the Paris attacks.

With the televised event’s executive producer Lorne Michaels, Bill Murray, Donald Trump, Chris Christie, Daniel Craig, Bradley Cooper, Sara Bareilles and the Today anchors in the audience (and complete with a multi-lingual introduction by Jimmy Fallon), the “Hello” chart-topper emerged onstage in an embellished gown (and after a few songs, no shoes) and demonstrated the rehabilitating power of music, as the British singer shared an emotional tribute to France with a 19 track and noted her own personal journey since the breakup ballads of 21.

But don’t forget – Adele, with her candid remarks and north London accent, is funny, and kept the audience laughing throughout the 90-minute show. But not everything she told the audience about music, motherhood and boyfriend Simon Konecki will make it into the one-hour NBC special, as it also includes behind-the-scenes moments in the days leading up to the show.

So before Adele Live in New York City airs Monday, Dec. 14 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on NBC, see the most memorable jokes and reveals she made while onstage.
