The Golden Globes just got a whole lot more interesting thanks to comedian Joe Coy, who took the stage at the 81st awards ceremony and delivered a roast that left many in stitches.
Coy, who isn’t your typical Hollywood insider, decided to seize the moment as host to poke fun at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
With a star-studded audience in attendance, Coy didn’t hold back, igniting a wave of laughter and perhaps a few gasps.
His jokes targeted the couple’s attempts to break into the entertainment industry as Netflix producers.
Coy quipped that they had amassed a fortune yet produced very little in return.
It was a bold move that resonated with many, especially considering the couple’s recent endeavors have been met with mixed reviews.
In a particularly sharp jab, Coy mentioned Meghan’s portrayal of the late queen in “The Crown,” humorously suggesting that it was so compelling that Prince Harry reached out to her for financial support.
Talk about a burn!
But the roast didn’t stop there.
Coy highlighted the irony of Meghan and Harry’s lucrative Netflix deal, where they seem to be cashing in without actually delivering much content.
It’s almost as if they’re living in a fairy tale where the mere act of existing earns them millions.
How surreal is that?
Just picture the couple, all dressed up, watching the Golden Globes from their couch.
It’s a stark contrast to Harry’s past life as a royal, where he enjoyed a lavish lifestyle filled with palace perks.
Now, the tables have turned, and it seems the couple has become a favorite target for Hollywood jokes.
Once revered, they now find themselves as the punchline, a far cry from their former glory.
Remember when Meghan claimed she was juggling countless projects?
The world can’t help but notice that it looks like she’s been doing very little while others hustle hard in the industry.
As the awards ceremony rolled on, one couldn’t help but feel a tinge of jealousy from Hollywood insiders.
While many actors and creators pour their hearts into their work, Meghan and Harry appear to be effortlessly raking in profits.
The disparity has sparked conversations about privilege and the nature of celebrity in today’s world.
In her quest for attention, Meghan recently made headlines by snagging a prime spot on the red carpet at Variety’s Power of Women event.
This move didn’t sit well with the real stars present, who were left waiting in her shadow.
And let’s not forget the infamous mic grab at Kevin Costner’s charity event, which showcased her knack for commandeering the spotlight, even when it wasn’t her turn.
However, it seems that the invitations to high-profile events are starting to dwindle for the royal couple.
Many in Hollywood are wary of being overshadowed by Meghan and Harry, who have embraced their new celebrity status with gusto.
They arrive with a significant entourage, strutting around as if they’re the main attraction, diverting attention from those who have genuinely earned their accolades.
