Forgetting your date’s name can be a guarantee that there won’t be a second one. But in Dimoldenberg’s case it created one of Chicken Shop Date’s most memorable moments.
During a 2023 date, she discussed marriage proposals with Jennifer Lawrence.
When Dimoldenberg said she wouldn’t know how it felt to be engaged, the Hunger Games star looked the host in the eye, and began:
“Phoebe.”
“Did you just call me Phoebe?” Dimoldenberg responded.
“Yeah.”
“Amelia.”
The pair burst out laughing, but it wasn’t the only time her date was caught thinking about someone else.
Pop star Sabrina Carpenter, who appeared on Chicken Shop Date in 2024, didn’t forget the host’s name, but did confuse the show with Hot Ones – the YouTube series where celebrities eat progressively spicy chicken wings.
In a sign of her own rising stardom, Dimoldenberg took on the chilli challenge in the same year.
