Saturday Night Live Reportedly Prepping a Hilarious Spoof of Megan Markle’s *With Love, Megan* Cooking Show
Saturday Night Live (*SNL*) is reportedly gearing up for the spoof we all knew was coming: a deliciously ruthless takedown of Megan Markle’s much-mocked cooking show, *With Love, Megan*. Because, let’s face it, when life hands you dried flowers and lukewarm tap water, you make… well, nothing of substance. But leave it to *SNL* to turn it into comedic gold.
For those blissfully unaware, *With Love, Megan* is Megan’s cringeworthy attempt to showcase her culinary skills, which appear to consist mainly of sprinkling petals on things and grinning like a hostage at a royal Christmas gathering. The show has already been relentlessly mocked for its sheer absurdity, so naturally, *SNL* is jumping in before *South Park* beats them to it. Since *With Love, Megan* is already practically self-parody, *SNL* has its work cut out for them—but fear not, the hypothetical dream cast for this skit is a masterclass in comedic brilliance.
Because no one does a better overly bronzed, excessively accessorized, vocal-fry Duchess than Maya. Expect dramatic hand gestures, that trademark forced grin, and a level of self-importance that even Shakespearean actors would find excessive. Watch as Megan proudly explains how to infuse ice cubes with “love” by putting tap water in a tray and freezing it. Obviously.
Bowen will multitask as Megan’s revolving door of guests, including makeup artist Daniel Martin, Chef Roy Choi, and skincare mogul Vicky Tsai. His entire performance will likely be funnier than anything on *With Love, Megan* itself.
Because every celebrity-hosted cooking show needs a friend who inexplicably carries around a polo crop and smacks away hands reaching for food. She’ll also ensure that the phrase “our boys” is uttered no fewer than 27 times.
Every good cooking segment needs a makeup mogul inexplicably shouting an 800 number for bronzer between attempts to fix Megan’s perpetually patchy glow.
Megan’s beloved friend, whom she routinely treats like a pesky subordinate. Expect Megan to scream, “Don’t you know I’m Sussex? Damaged Princess Sussex!” as Mindy cowers in the corner, regretting all her life choices.
The legendary chef reduced to a horrified wreck as Megan butchers—literally—a vegetable medley. “Stop! You’re murdering them!” she shrieks, clutching her pearls as Megan violently dices an innocent zucchini.
Megan’s ever-serene mother, calmly offering fresh garden produce from an artisan-made tote because even this skit needs a little realism.
Sporting a bald cap with strategically placed ginger tufts, Harry will spend most of the skit looking lost, confused, and slightly terrified. His one line? “Who put these disgusting dead flowers on my bangers and mash?” before bolting as a swarm of bees chases him off set.
Returning for his grand entrance just as Megan delivers a tearful speech about family and friends being “everything.” He knocks at the door, only for it to be slammed in his face because, well, some things never change.
If *SNL* really wants to capture the essence of *With Love, Megan*, they could save themselves some effort and just air actual clips of the show with a *Golf Channel*-style whisper commentary overlay: *“And here we see Megan Markle effortlessly placing a single edible flower atop a pile of quinoa. Truly groundbreaking television.”*
While it’s almost too sad to mock, the reality is *With Love, Megan* is parodying itself at this point. *SNL* might just be the icing on this gluten-free, dairy-free, ego-laden cake. The only real question is: Can they air this skit before *South Park* turns it into another instant classic? Time’s ticking, Lorne Michaels—don’t let us down.
