Despite the audience seemingly finding the joke funny, many of Meghan and Harry's fans took to social media to express their anger and disappointment over the "offensive" and "misogynistic" sketch. One fan called for Michael Che to apologize and retract his comments, while another criticized him for promoting misogyny under the guise of edginess.
Additionally, some viewers expressed their disappointment with the overall quality of the episode, questioning whether the show's writers had taken the week off.
The controversy surrounding the sketch occurred ahead of the 2023 Oscars, with rumors swirling that American TV presenter Jimmy Kimmel, who is hosting the event, might make fun of the Sussexes during the star-studded awards show in Los Angeles.
