Ed Sheeran faces renewed scrutiny of his pop persona as late-night television amplifies jokes at his expense. Yahoo first established that 'Chicken Shop Date' host Amelia Dimoldenberg delivered the barbs targeting Sheeran on 'SNL UK,' while parade.com documented that the musician was called out directly during an 'SNL' monologue.
Page Six later added context connecting the roast to recent Macklemore drama, citing Dimoldenberg's characterization of Sheeran as a 'red-headed puppet.' A minor discrepancy appears across accounts: parade.com referred to the show simply as 'SNL,' whereas Vulture and Yahoo distinguished the program as 'SNL UK.' Vulture notes that the British adaptation has continued its targeting of Sheeran, whose roast segment is now circulating via online video.
