- Dimoldenberg humorously compared Sheeran to a "world-famous red-headed puppet," highlighting his deadpan interview style and past Chicken Shop Date appearance in 2021.
- The controversy stems from the removal of Macklemore from Sheeran's U.S. tour after Macklemore made "Free Palestine" remarks during his opening sets in early September.
- Following Macklemore's removal, Sheeran performed shows without opening acts, emphasizing unity and avoiding politics, while Macklemore launched a Free Palestine Tour with proceeds supporting humanitarian aid for Palestinians.
- SNL UK had previously mocked Sheeran on Sept. 19, portraying him as a "fence-sitter" between humans and AI, reflecting ongoing public scrutiny amid the tour controversy.
