SNL UK mocks King Charles and Ed Sheeran in AI-themed sketch
"SNL UK" has taken aim at both Ed Sheeran and King Charles in its cold open.
In a recent episode of SNL UK, the sketch comedy show presented a unique cold open that combined King Charles, an AI-generated version of Princess Diana, and Ed Sheeran. The AI-bot, D.I.A.N.A, went rogue, and King Charles was forced to plead for Sheeran's assistance as the world teetered on the brink of apocalypse.
Annabel Marlow, who played Ed Sheeran in the sketch, faced scrutiny this week following criticism for Macklemore's removal from his tour due to pro-Palestinian remarks. During the performance, Sheeran quipped, "You know sometimes, when it comes to conflicts, the bravest thing you can do is to say nothing at all." This led to an exaggerated, cringe-worthy song about the complexities of various conflicts, suggesting that both sides could be equally justified.
Sheeran also faced ridicule in the show's Weekend Update segment, highlighting the challenges of navigating sensitive social issues in today's media landscape.
