Jamie Foxx reveals how he helped launch Ed Sheeran's career

Jamie Foxx revealed in a recent interview on "The Graham Norton Show" that he let the English singer-songwriter crash on his couch "for six weeks before he was famous." Foxx was hosting a radio show in Los Angeles at the time, and Sheeran came to the station to try and show Foxx his music. Foxx said he liked Sheeran's music enough to let the up-and-coming musician stay at his home for a while. Soon after, Foxx took Sheeran to an open mic event that he was hosting. So all of a sudden I say, 'Ladies and gentleman, Ed Sheeran!' He pops out, with red hair and a ukulele. It was just like a movie. I said, 'Well, let's see what the kid has.' And he went out there on that ukulele — got a standing ovation in 12 minutes. And the rest was history.
