Prince Harry was invited to the 2024 NFL Honors as a guest of honor and was also expected to present an award to a player or coach. However, he had no idea that Key had planned an opening monologue filled with hilarious and savage roasts targeting various NFL stars and celebrities, including himself. Key, known for his sketch comedy show "Key and Peele" and Netflix series "Friends from College," didn't hold back when it came to poking fun at Harry.
The monologue began with Key welcoming Harry to the show and expressing his surprise that the prince managed to attend despite travel restrictions and quarantine rules. Key humorously remarked that Harry must have been given special permission to leave the UK, considering he had burned more bridges than the Great Fire of London in 1666. He then playfully mentioned Harry's ability to enter the US, despite having seemingly angered more Americans than the infamous Boston Tea Party.
Transitioning to Harry's marriage with Meghan Markle, the former actress and Duchess of Sussex who remained in their Montecito mansion, Key expressed his admiration for Meghan's acting skills, mentioning her notable role in the legal drama "Suits." He sarcastically praised her performance as a loving and loyal wife and couldn't help but highlight their podcast, where they seemingly talk about nothing for an hour and earn millions.
Key then turned his attention to Harry's media deals and projects with Netflix, Spotify, and Apple TV. He expressed curiosity about Harry's content, claiming to have watched some of his shows and documentaries. However, he comically revealed his boredom, even admitting to falling asleep during some of them. Key humorously confessed his confusion, stating he had no idea what Harry was trying to convey or achieve with his shows and documentaries.
Wrapping up his monologue, Key shifted to a more lighthearted tone, expressing his happiness for Harry and wishing him the best in his new life and career. He extended well wishes to the UK, hoping they would thrive under their new king and queen. Key also conveyed his excitement for the NFL's upcoming season and Super Bowl, while playfully emphasizing his own desire for high ratings.
In a night filled with laughter, Key's comedic jabs at Prince Harry provided a memorable and entertaining highlight of the 2024 NFL Honors.
