Adam Driver’s Hilarious SNL Sketch Mocks Meghan Markle

Adam Driver, known for his roles in Star Wars and Marriage Story, graced the Saturday Night Live stage for the fourth time on December 9, 2023.

His performance in a side-splitting sketch took a playful jab at Meghan Markle, the former royal embroiled in pregnancy rumors.

The parody, set in a spoof of the show The First 48, featured Driver as a baby turned murder suspect on his inaugural flight.

The sketch kicked off with a narration emphasizing the crucial first 48 hours in homicide investigations, highlighting the high resolution rate within that timeframe.

Transitioning to an airplane scene, detectives portrayed by Kenan Thompson and Iko Nwodim probed passengers about a deceased individual found onboard.

Suspicion arose when they encountered a couple, played by Beck Bennett and Cicely Strong, cradling a seemingly oversized and hairy “baby” named Archie, played by Driver.

Detectives' doubts escalated upon inspecting a suspicious passport bearing Driver's face and the name Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.

It became apparent that the baby was no ordinary infant but a disguised adult.

Driver's character, in a diaper and bonnet, shockingly confessed to murder, citing a peanut-related vendetta over the last bag of peanuts onboard.

In a bizarre turn of events, Driver's character requested diaper changes and playtime from the detectives, all while maintaining his infant facade.

Despite the absurdity, the detectives arrested him and the couple, leading to a tearful revelation from Driver claiming to be Meghan Markle's son, paid to impersonate her baby without ever meeting Prince Harry.

The sketch humorously concluded with the “baby” sentenced to life in prison and the couple deported to Canada, leaving Meghan Markle at large.

The comedic brilliance of the sketch lay in its blend of humor and satire surrounding the speculations about Meghan Markle's pregnancy and Archie's lineage.

Driver's impeccable comedic timing and chemistry with castmates elevated the sketch to new heights, solidifying his reputation as a top-tier SNL host adept at satirizing even the most prominent personalities, including himself.
