According to Foxx, he first met Sheeran when the “Castle on the Hill” singer performed on his radio show back in 2010.
“He’s incredible and I’m like, ‘Listen, I know you don’t have anywhere to go, just chill here,” reminisced Foxx. “I was giving him food, and my daughter was like, ‘Who do you have over here now?’ Because I would always champion an artist.”
Foxx went on to invite Sheeran to perform for an all-black crowd of 800, where he was well-received despite his unconventional instrument choice.
“He went up there on that ukulele and got a standing ovation in 12 minutes, and the rest is history,” Foxx recalled.
Foxx was joined by fellow guests Dame Judi Dench, Steve Carell, and Kristen Wiig.
