Jimmy Fallon’s Royal Roast: The Sussexes in the Comedy Crosshairs

Last night on “The Greg Gutfeld Show,” comedian Jimmy Fallon took center stage, tackling the sensitive topic of speech and cultural norms with his signature humor.

He kicked things off with a jab about his friend who recently relocated to the UK.

Fallon quipped that in Britain, you can't even call someone a “wussy” anymore; instead, you have to refer to them as “Prince Harry.”

This light-hearted comment set the tone for a discussion that quickly veered into the realm of the British royal family and their relationship with American audiences.

Fallon pointed out a curious unifying factor among Americans: regardless of race or background, there's a shared sentiment when it comes to Meghan Markle.

It seems that many people, from all walks of life, just want her to stop talking.

In a time when countless individuals are struggling financially, Fallon humorously suggested that Markle's complaints about royal life fall on deaf ears.

He proposed that if she truly wanted to contribute meaningfully, she should consider creating a true crime series about how she “stole Prince Harry's balls.”

The conversation then shifted as Gutfeld and contributor Kat Timpf weighed in on the couple's reputation.

Timpf expressed concern about trust issues surrounding the Sussexes, advising caution when associating with them.

She noted that their previous revelations suggest they might continue to spill secrets, leading to more tell-all narratives in the future.

Gutfeld echoed her sentiments, asserting that this duo is simply not trustworthy.

As they dissected Harry's memoir, the group made a bold claim: Meghan might have been the real author behind the book.

They questioned how any man could possibly retain text messages from a girlfriend, implying that Harry's supposed independence was merely an illusion.

The narrative painted a picture of the couple who, despite leaving royal duties, have become the subject of ridicule rather than respected global figures.

The mockery of Harry and Meghan has reached new heights, with celebrities taking their turns to poke fun at the couple.

Notably, Australian actress Rebel Wilson and American comedian Chris Rock have both made headlines for their jabs.

The couple was even the target of a parody episode from the animated series “South Park,” showcasing the extent of their newfound status as comedic fodder.

Joe Elvin, editor of the Mail on Sunday's You magazine, provided insight into the impact of this celebrity ridicule.

While Harry and Meghan may be accustomed to media scrutiny, the shift to being the punchline in celebrity circles presents a different challenge altogether.

Elvin remarked that this level of criticism could hit them harder than anything they've faced before.

Richard Eden, the Daily Mail's diary editor, chimed in, suggesting that the recent jokes, particularly those from Chris Rock, would sting.

He highlighted how the Sussexes have previously taken pride in their relationships with the Black community, especially after receiving accolades from organizations like the NAACP.

The thought of being laughed at by a largely Black audience would likely resonate poorly with them.

Rock's Netflix special, “Selective Outrage,” served as a platform for him to express his grievances regarding Markle's allegations against the royal family.

He challenged her claims of ignorance about her husband's lineage, famously asking, “It's the royal family, you didn't google these motherfuckers?”

His biting humor underscored the absurdity of her narrative.

The dynamic between Harry, Meghan, and the public continues to evolve, with each new joke adding fuel to the fire.
