In the last 24 hours, headlines have surfaced about Joe Rogan's latest comedy special on Netflix, "Joe Rogan: Burn the Boats," which originally streamed live on August 4th and is now available on replay. In his show, Rogan took some shots at Prince Harry, mocking him in a way that many found quite entertaining.
Here’s a taste of what Rogan had to say: He joked about how he once woke up in his underwear to find Prince Harry on TV talking about him. Rogan humorously depicted a scenario where he’s tripping on mushrooms with Harry, making light of the prince’s advocacy on various issues, including vaccines.
Rogan’s jokes didn’t just target Harry—they also seemed to poke fun at Meghan, who was involved in vaccine equity campaigns. Given Meghan’s history of reacting to public mockery, including last year’s South Park episode that satirized her and Harry, it’s not surprising that she might be upset by Rogan’s routine.
For context, Meghan and Harry reportedly considered legal action against South Park for their episode “Worldwide Privacy Tour,” which ridiculed them. Although rumors suggested they might sue, the South Park creators weren’t fazed and defended their right to free speech. Eventually, Meghan and Harry backed down from their legal threats, calling them "baseless."
So, if the blind item is accurate, Meghan’s threat to Netflix might be another example of her using intimidation to try and get her way, similar to what happened with South Park. Netflix is unlikely to be swayed by her threats, especially given Joe Rogan's popularity and success compared to Meghan and Harry. I’d bet Netflix would choose to keep Rogan over losing Markle’s projects.
