Ed Sheeran Catches a Stray in Martin Short’s Hilarious Roast of Conan O’Brien: Watch

In a lighthearted introduction to Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend podcast, Martin Short playfully compared Conan O’Brien to Ed Sheeran during their recent dinner together. Acknowledging their shared ginger hair color and contrasting heights, Short remarked that O’Brien resembled a "fun-house mirror version of Ed Sheeran." Sheeran, known for his distinctive red hair, has previously discussed their schoolyard experiences as redheads, while the two friends currently bond over their similarities.

The U.S. leg of Sheeran's stadium tour has faced criticism, after his promoter removed Macklemore as an opening act due to backlash from venue owners over the rapper's "Free Palestine" protests.
