Carr wasted no time taking a playful jab at Harry and Meghan when introducing the news section. What's particularly revealing is that not a single soul in the panel or the audience seemed inclined to object to Carr's humorous take. Ouch. It appears that even society has grown weary of the royal couple's antics. But the roast didn't stop there. They enlisted the legendary Charles Dance to read an excerpt from Harry's memoir, specifically the part about Meghan. To add a touch of dramatic irony, the iconic voice of Morgan Freeman was brought in to narrate. Carr, in his usual provocative style, couldn't resist taking the British press to task for their treatment of Harry, bluntly labeling it as "disgusting."
However, let's not forget that Carr has walked this path before. Last year, he humorously criticized Meghan's purported feminism during an episode of "The Last Leg," humorously quipping about her not realizing that Harry's mother was Princess Diana – a bit of a spoiler alert, if you will.
But Carr wasn't done yet. He also poked fun at Meghan's feminism, commenting on her lifelong commitment to the cause, which she seemingly demonstrated by marrying a prince and giving up her job. While the audience response was lukewarm, Carr, being the audacious comedian he is, repeated the joke for emphasis, with some help from fellow guest Judy trying to salvage the situation while the host, Adam Hills, squirmed in his seat.
Carr also addressed Harry and Meghan's plea for privacy head-on, suggesting that if they truly desired privacy, they should consider doing a documentary for BritBox instead of Netflix. This quip earned Carr thunderous laughter from the audience.
In the end, Jimmy Carr delivered truth with a side of humor, offering everyone a hearty laugh at the expense of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. When it comes to calling out absurdity, Carr certainly doesn't hold back, and that's precisely why he remains a beloved figure in the world of comedy.
