John Mulaney's Playful Jabs at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Light Up Netflix Event
Meghan MarkleAt the recent "Next on Netflix" event, comedian John Mulaney made headlines with his sharp and playful remarks about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's high-profile partnership with the streaming giant, providing a surprising moment of levity for a gathering of A-list celebrities, including Ben Affleck and Tina Fey.
Mulaney, while promoting his upcoming live talk show "Everybody's Live With John Mulaney", capitalized on the opportunity to poke fun at the royal couple's $100 million deal with Netflix, famously known for its lack of specific plans and mixed success.
"This is a really fun experiment", Mulaney quipped on stage, "Not since Harry and Meghan has Netflix given more money to something without a specific plan". The comedian's jest, which included a nod to the couple's nixed animated series "Pearl" and the underwhelming reception of "Polo", was met with a blend of laughter and shock from the audience.
Sources report that the room filled with "snickering" and audible "whoas", showing a mixed response from the crowd. The comments also sparked conversation about the nature of Netflix's investment in high-profile figures and the pressure on them to deliver engaging content.
While some attendees were taken aback by Mulaney's boldness, others appreciated the comedian's willingness to tackle such a publicized relationship. This moment at the Egyptian Theatre in Los Angeles has not only set a humorous tone for Mulaney's upcoming show but also added another chapter to the ongoing dialogue about celebrity partnerships with streaming platforms.
