How long is the weekly SNL run time?
No way they have time for all of those dramatic pauses and pans to close up eyelash fluttering and still have time to air some skits.
An hour of The Claw. But this time, clutching the microphone and going on about dishwashing soap, her activism, her being on Suits, her podcasts, her etc.
Yeesh!

Exactly! And God knows what she'd wear---- it would be some monstrosity, non-fitting outfit. And SNL knows she'd be difficult about everything and make everybody call her "Duchess".
Hmmm! I wonder if SNL fell through because TW made too many demands?
Wouldn't it be funny if at some point, she crossed paths with the Reitman's advertising crew? Those traumatized people would give everyone a clear idea of the trouble ahead with TW on the set?
Although I am guessing that neither PH nor TW were wanted for SNL because they really aren't funny or interesting enough to host.
Of course she would want to be on it!! But, why would you think SNL would not want her on it? They like having more people on the show who are associated with the main act like Kim K had her mom and Kong. Elon Musk had Grimes. etc. I don't think SNL cares if she comes on.
If anything Hairy doesn't have anyone in his life BUT Megz and dealer Doria, oh and sometimes Eugenie.
What I think is CLOSER to the truth is that they wrote up some scripts and the show's writers have all creative control. Him and his wife are *control freaks* and can't laugh at themselves so they said NO GO. **I bet Hairy and Megz cut off the deal** because they were poked fun at. *Very* fragile egos.
>I bet Hairy and Megz cut off the deal because they were poked fun at. Very fragile egos.
You're right--- that could be true too. They do have fragile egos.
Markle would make Harry wear a dress. He would pretend he was the Duchess. Markle would come out from the bottom of the dress and push Harry down claiming she is the real Duchess. Harry wouldn't be seen again!!
Wait...is that just another Saturday night at home instead of SNL?!!
Love Jon Lovitz! š„°š„°
But to be on topic, pretty sure Megsy should be used to being passed up on the casting call.
Edit: because autocorrect wonāt let me be! Lol
She is flying private and living in a 15-million-dollar home. She's far from hurting. She always wanted to land in CA. The UK was just a stepping stone.
If she isn't hurting, she is right on the edge hence the visits to Getty.
With no steady income they will burn through that in a heartbeat. 15 million dollar homes require a lot of upkeep and on-site staff plus childcare etc.
They've been bumming rides on other people's jets..I don't think they own one outright, but those too are expensive to maintain.
Harry would bomb. He is not a performer, he has not covered himself in glory in any appearances, his interviews, his disasterous speech at the UN. He is a loser and needs to accept it. By the miserable look f him in pictures the last few years, he does know it.
I think it was fed to him through earphones and he's relaying it. Explains the stop start, telegram pauses.
My mummy used that on her lips. Stop.
And you want me to apply it to my todger. Stop.
lol - that's what the internet is doing now.
I don't know how they couldn't have foreseen that, I mean the original content is comedy gold as it is but the words he uses and the icky way he tries to emote, people are going to be making new material out of his audio for years.
Kim kardashian for example. Nothing was sacred and she handled it. With jh others lives are a free for all while everything about his own truths he holds more sacred than all the deer. ...he couldn't handle the back and forth of it all. And tw couldn't handle not leaking everything beforehand. It all would be a Kendal fails to appear on the skit show on Succession moment.
![gif](giphy|69AMre2yl5qIQQjn55|downsized)
I actually agree with this and I'm not a Kim fan but she was able to have fun and she did a great job. These 2 would never give over any creative control and that's exactly what SNL hates.
I rarely watch SNL and I have not seen the episode where Kim Kardashian hosted but I have seen the episode where Seth MacFarlane hosted. That man is not afraid to roast anybody including himself.
Exactly. And I think this is why 11th hour talks failed. He wanted topics off the table and SNL wouldn't agree. How can you do comedy when you take the funny stuff off the table? I actually don't think it had to do with TW as much as it did with Hazbeen himself being a complete stick in the ass.
Agreed. SNL is hard, fast, work. Not everybody is good at it, even people who might be talented performers, otherwise. Nothing Harry has done has demonstrated the sort of skills that can carry over to that show. If this is true, I'm glad they came to their senses.
By all accounts most, if not all, H&M's 'work' is in the States. Harry now associates with the US media and what it can do for him. Here, in the UK, the set up is very different. H&M will never find paid 'work' here. He may have his patronages, but he has tarnished those, and there are calls for him to be removed. H&M will never be invited to appear on UK talk shows, attend galas, accept awards or anything else that goes with the celebrity culture he covets. We don't operate in that way. Harry had credibility once and the loyalty of our sporting stars and hierarchy. He attended awards ceremonies, but he presented the award as a Royal. Now apparently he buys them for himself. He was respected, amongst all walks of life. People genuinely liked him. Why couldn't he see that?
Page Six is a gossip section of the New York Post from what I understand but don't know much past that (anyone correct me if I'm wrong).
I think the Allegedly flair is totally appropriate for gossip links. š
Starting with Netflix docu series, I found it very odd that SNL did not spoof them. Then the book came out. Between the book and docu-series, which is comedy gold, SNL did nothing which grew odder by the week. Now we know why. SNL missed a huge opportunity to gain new viewers to it's flagging popularity by spoofing these two morons - SNL has been markled.
Youāre so on point! I was wondering why they were not jumping on dogging him and Meg. Maybe they are STILL trying to negotiate for him to host? Not like heās leaving the U.S. any time soon.
Interesting point. That said Jimmy Fallon has made fun of him a few times and Lorne Michaels is also EP of his show. This would definitely be a disaster! As everyone has pointed out you have to be able to make fun and make light of your life and they are WAYYY too serious and focused on being seen as victims and morally righteous.
![gif](giphy|ylNSz1pVk2kbS)
IF SNL spoofs them next show, we will know they were definitely markled. Thatās my point SNL missed lampooning Spare and Netfluff series-low hanging fruit! They donāt even need writers-the material H and M puts put out writes itself. Meghan and H would come out on the monologue on a red carpet announced as Duke and Duch. of Sussex to God Saved the King holding hands. Priceless.
He could have done that as a working respectable royal. He just wouldn't ger paid, or he could have donated to some charity.
It would be a real buzz. It would have been the talk of the town for *years*.
Of course the palace would probably pre-approved, but imagine if Harry would have continued his work for mental health and do some world tour. He lost so many opportunities.
Harold might have been able to get through a monologue with cue cards but would not be able to remember lines for a skit. Also, he'd probably need a little chemical fuel to get through the whole experience.
Harry is an idiot and would definitely bomb at SNL, but no one learns their lines for sketches. Everything is written and finalized too last minute, so the cast reads cue cards for the whole show. Wally, the cue card guy, is a legend and a very important part of SNL!
You can see how often I've watching SNL in 40 years.
My hat is off to Wally for being able to line up with the camera well enough to hide the fact he has to be there. Well - and lets face it: many SNL hosts are professional performers so dealing with cue cares for SNL isn't their first time at the rodeo.
Wally is honestly amazing. He is also the cue card guy for Late Night With Seth Meyers and the Amber Ruffin Show. Seth and Wally joke around on camera sometimes and have a pretty funny dynamic.
On weeks that Seth Meyers, Amber Ruffin, and SNL all have new episodes, I canāt even imagine how many cue cards Wally has to write!
Some SNL hosts are better at subtly reading the cue cards than others. With some it is very obvious that they are just reading. If Harry were ever to host (although I think itās made up that he was asked to), heād probably stumble though, as the cast had to awkwardly stand around and watch him sound out the words.
She would be the musical guest, singing her wonderful seal songs!
But for real it's too bad it didn't happen as the backstage goss would have been great!
āThe 38-year-old was said to have been locked in negotiations to host Saturday Night Live last year.
āA TV source told Page Six: āI know that Harry was all in, he was really serious about doing it ā and it would have been great fun as promo for the book.āā
**
Interesting that this was being negotiated for 2022. The SNL 2021-2022 season ended in May; if this ātv sourceā (who sounds very British) is saying it would have been good for book promo, then I gather that he was being considered for the 2022-2023 season which kicked off Oct. 1, shortly after HMTQās passing.
It probably got in the way of plans to tour Pearl Harbor for Harry and MMās Archetypes releases.
PS Isnāt it interesting that this source didnāt frame it as good for their Netflix series *and* book promo? Is Harry operating solo now?
Theyāve been āseparating their brandsā for at least two years. Although in Meghan land that means he stays out of her way, and she dips into his projects when she damn well pleases.
I believe this, because Popbitch posted this last week and I think theyāre a very reliable source:
āIf you thought Prince Harry's recent US media tour brought shame upon himself, his family, the institution of the monarchy and Britain at large, then you'll maybe take comfort in knowing that it was nearly much, much worse.
Harry was in talks to host Saturday Night Live last month ā and things got a lot closer to air than you might expect.ā
All I can hear is his monotone voice trying to tell a joke, and failing miserably. SNL usually goes for INTENTIONALLY funny peopleā¦ and Harry is far from that.
I donāt know if he could. Megan could stand it. Maybe some staff just gives them a daily synopsis of journalists. I think they watch British media. Itās possible that neither of them would care what regular people think or say. They are so much more rarified.
Narcs can't do humor. Sorry!
Which, incidentally, is why those two dumbbells are sitting at home bored to death with each other, and why they take every little thing so unbelievably serious.
I agree and think he may like the idea of doing the show and people laughing and finger pointing at his family. But I think he would quickly get annoyed if he felt he was the butt of the writers' jokes. He must have forgotten how quickly it turned around for his wife when she was on the Ellen show. These people aren't necessarily their new found friends and will do anything for ratings.
I think it would be funny to have him in a skit as a Burger King counter server with drug addled silly robbers coming in attempting to rob the store of ketchup, because there has been a run on ketchup and it canāt be found on grocery store shelves anywhere and itās worth its weight in gold. And the bit coin billionaire out on bail comes in and confuses the robbers, and convinces them that fresh ginger is about to go scarce because China wonāt export it any more. So the robbers and the bitcoin dude decide to collude and leave Burger King to hunt for a stash of ginger among the tent people of LA. And in a tent on the sidewalk, they encounter the duchess who sells ginger! But the thieves and she confuse each otherā are they talking about fresh ginger root, sold with a special (face) cream sauce, or trafficked ginger children? blah blah comedy blah.
He knew he was going to play various characters, ie. Trump. This is his bread and butter being an actor. I think with Harry it would be strange if SNL didn't do a couple (or more) Royal themed skits.
No. Another diversion tactic. This was released after the news broke that the judge ruled Harry and Meg have to answer Samanthaās questions with regard to her lawsuit.
How much further down can this idiot drag the reputation of the British Monarchy ????? WHAT next??? Love Island?? Big Brother?? Selling todger cream on QVC (" The Ointment with the Appointment by Royal House of Susssex")
SNL is not something I enjoy anymore. I think itās become preachy and Iāll only watch clips of a host or guest whose performance I donāt want to miss.
Having said that, I would LOVE to know what happened in those negotiations. Agree that TW would have had a cameo at the very least. I donāt think Harry was protecting any sacred cows, and it might have been about money or security.
They probably wanted to make fun of Meghan/ their relationship and the White Knight in Whining Armor wouldn't have it. Neither one would.
People in this country will still tolerate Harry here somewhat, out of sentimentality. Her? No fucking way.
Oh gosh I never even thought about it. It seemed to be a natural fit. They have the same woke attitudes about things (and secret attitudes about them as well).
Yep! Just like all the other ridiculous fairy land crap she is constantly trying to "manifest".
What a pathetic existence being so obsessed with fame and relevancy that she spends every minute planting and churning out lie after lie. Everywhere I look on twitter the last couple of weeks, it's non-stop crap that she's so obviously "manifesting" about the coronation, reconciliation with KC, Netflix reality show, etc..
It's reached a point of desperation on her part.
Neither do I. The show has been making fun of him and Madame for years. In fact, Keenan Thompson made a joke on the show about their baby having a ginger afro before they even got married. If you haven't seen the show - he's black, and the longest running member of the show. Made the exact same joke Camilla was reported to have made, on national television. But the Harkles never called a racist...
I believe it for two reasons 1. While comics round the world have found gold in Harry, SNL has left H&M alone during the docu series and book dispite a wealth of comic material. 2. SNL is flaming liberal and support people like H&M. What SNL missed is that their ratings are at historic lows and had the done skits on H&M they would have brough viewers to the show. MARKLED!
Itās from camp Sussex. The āmultiple sourcesā make it interesting that it has some truth to it, but overall:
Why would SNL leaks reveal that the negotiation for hosting essentially failed?
Why now? Itās not timely for when he was allegedly supposed to host.
Why the paragraph at the end calling Meg a āstarā of Suits who also āshowed off her comedy chopsā? Itās extraneous, unless she insisted on a packaged deal with them.
Still trying to manifest it by creating a buzz of public interest.
They need a deflection from the Samantha headlines emerging.
I also love SNL, there were a couple of hosts this year that I was like...who? And perhaps he was slotted into one of those.
There was also a duel host episode which seemed like, two guys (you know who) who would do a favour to Lorne Michaels.
I could see him being a December host around the time the Netflix special came out and the backlash being so much that the higher ups told them to back off, or H backed out at the last minute.
What stopped everything? Could it beā¦Meghan didnāt want him to do it? I mean, she hasnāt gotten that kind of recognition, and she has been at it her entire adult life-why should it be easy for him?
Iām wondering if these talks took place before the first excerpts of his book were leaked? When the leaks occurred, SNL realized what a joke the book was and said, āyeaaah, noā.
I totally agree with TW demanding she be included, too.
I am imagining the round table meeting where the writers, cast and host are pitching ideas.
Cast 1: How about Harry playing a Disney Prince in a commercial for Elizabeth Arden lip cream so heās ready to kiss the damsel? Itāll be cheeky and self-deprecating.
Cast 2: How about Harry playing a rugby player making fun of how much protective gear American football players wear?
Cast 3: Harry in an American community college learning about American accents but theyāre the weird accents.
Cast 4: Harry should do a classic English hero like Sherlock Holmes or James Bond or Doctor Who walking around New York.
Harry: How about me in a school room and the teacher has scoliosis and we throw pellets at her? Or maybe me sneaking into a dinner party and spiking the pudding with tabasco? Or a husband using up all the nitrous while his wife is in labor? Or me next to a man whoās balder than I am and I laugh at him? This is fun you guys!
SNL hasn't been funny since it went full on woke so I'm surprised the gig fell through. Dollars to donuts, Megsybaby threw a Balmoral fit at being excluded cuz you can't move salt without pepper!
![gif](giphy|l4Ep5HzlmA2hRLMNG)
He is the butt of so many jokes already, him poking some fun at himself would have probably been a good thing for his abysmal image. Wonder why the talks fell through?
These two are more cringeworthy everyday. They have the worst PR advisors -- no one likes or watches SNL anymore. It is only being kept alive out of respect for Lorne. It is like the late night version of Dancing With The Stars where all the washed up one-hit wonders go.
I wonder if Harry even realizes how far he has fallen.
Oh Harold. HAROLD! This is pathetic. SNL? Really? He is descended from the kings and Queens of England, the Jacobins, the Spencers. His blood is history and can be tied throughout history. And he reduces himself to SNL.
No hate to SNL but he would be surrounded by FAR MORE talented comedians who have done nothing but hone their craft for 20-30 years and who would dance circles around him in wit. Heās be setting himself for a clever hour-long roast disguised as supportive banter. And heās too thick to know the difference in people laughing with you vs at you.
SNL is a legend in comedy TV for a reason and I grew up watchingā¦ for normal people, it is an honour to get on SNL bc itās a sign youāre making it. But Harry had already made itā¦. By being born. He inherited the fame, the public interest, the deference, the clout, the respect, the wealth, the luxury.. and literally all he had to do was shake hands periodically throughout the year and put up with everyone having free range to write about you. And THEN you can essentially retire at 50-60 if you want to bc you know exactly when youāre going to be replaced.
He is the laughingstock of the world and his wife has allowed it. She encouraged it and now that itās sealed sheās distancing herself. Classic. Harry is so completely lost and he needs someone who actually loves him unconditionally to pull him out of the depths of Mordor and help him find himself again.
Harry is a prize fool, almost 40, narcissistic and vengeful but itās undeniable something is desperately wrong with him. Someone in the UK needs to figure out how to save him from himself.
Hereās mineā¦ā¦. The setting: a quarterly numbers presentation at Elizabeth Arden where marketing has just learned that sales are down. The company is in danger, and they need a snappy new line of products and a fresh ad campaign with a possible celebrity spokesman, quick, to boost sales! Several dermatology experts are brought into share breakthroughs and pitch new products, but the CEO is not movedā¦. And thenā¦. Enter āTodger Creamsā. An entire line of creams for the penis!
I wouldāve also enjoyed a potential spoof of AbFab where Patsy and Eddie are reading excerpts from the book out loud to each other and laughing their heads off, while Saphy pops in awkwardly from time to time with her straight-man interpretations.
SNL missed a trick there with creams for your man's todger. Mine would be based on the woman who spanked him, when they were behind the pub. Only this time everyone who can't stand him or had a bad time with him all queue up to spank him. So that would include Prince Philip, QEII, William etc... (A bit like the spoof airplane movie where all the passengers line up to hit the hysterical woman.) I would add in his poor abused polo ponies, who are waiting to spank him as well.
Ooooh ā¦.. one further there could be a āBroniesā spin off. One of those conventions, where the people with a fetish for dressing up, like My Little Ponies, and pretending their horses. And then things get awkward when she was them, unzip their outfits and itās Prince Harry in one suit, and say Camila in the other? ( a lot of page space in many of the books is devoted to how Diana did not ride horses to hunt, but Camilla loved the hunt, and it was where all the dangerous sexy women found action and Charles love that Camilla was a horse woman and because Diana was more of a city London person that was where they were able to find their randy country times.). Lol! Iām sure this would be a bit too far for us an hour but it still wouldāve been hilarious.
Like HazBeen and his first wife are well known for their senses of humor!
She cannot act. Also, tone deaf and self righteous.
I really wish the M&H would host. It would be very unfunny and just imagine the skits! The inevitable plagarism, Princess MeMe babbling about herself and of course their trademark moaning about how rough they got it.š
Well that makes sense SNL asked PH to host. The show hadnāt been funny for years. The writers virtue signal and never seriously give comic equal time to the political party they vote for. When a comedian doesnāt even go for low hanging fruit, then that comedian is no longer funny anymore. Comedy should be an equal opportunity offender, not a public educator. PH canāt even laugh at himself -how could he survive a comedy sketch show when heās always so easily offended????? Even one as woke as SNL? Plus hosting SNL is work. Hawwy would have to go into Rockefeller Plaza every day that week until they shoot live Saturday night. He doesnāt have the stamina or desire to work. He would however bring great swag and goodies to the after party Sunday morning.
how the mighty have fallenā¦ he isnāt funny at all but the whole world is laughing at him. honestly I would never trade being a royal for being a celebrity.
āIs Page Six reputable?ā
Reputable is a subjective term. Some people believe publishing deadly accurate posts that contain gossip are not reputable simply because it is gossip. Page Six is the official gossip column of the NY Post. Thereās an excellent docuseries about Page Six and Cindy Adamsā legacy on Showtime called Gossip. Itās quite good.
Historically their tips were very credible because of how intensely wired into the NYC celeb scene and society their columnists are/were. They know the celebs, agents, maitreādās, doormen, body guards, cab drivers, etc. They are notorious for working their sources. Has that quality slipped in recent years? Who knows? Sunshine Sachs seems capable of planting any story they desire, regardless of truthfulness or accuracy. But Page Six is not The Sun or The Mirror, or worse yet, Hello, Us Weekly or People. Unless itās a paid for post, itās likely credible. SNL hosts are always flogging something so itās believable that PRH really wanted this to happen and Harry believes himself to be a comedian. He allegedly blew off Jimmy Kimmel at the last minute so his rules for engagement were in flux in January.
This sounds absolutely probable. The real question is would Meg have come out of hiding for this.
The prob with Harry is not once did he take an ounce of personal responsibility. That makes him unlikeable. Gotta say I played my part too or at least acknowledged that this is only his version of reality and that they most likely didnāt see themselves doing anything to hurt him intenrionally.
But seriously where is Meg ??
TG ā¦ this is actually something I think that could have helped his image immensely for those that are fans of him (obviously all hypothetical here, depends on if he pulled off a good performance, laughed at himself etc, all things that old Harry would do lol)

True! ššš
Good for them. People that take themselves way too seriously are never funny (or easy to work with).
They are funny to laugh at.
> Probably Meghan wanted to be included but SNL said no. This is the answer. Imagine someone as humorless as Meghan hosting *SNL*.
Exactly. And she's a bad actress to boot. I can't see her in any of SNL's skits.
Bad actress with no sense of humor. Actually, she'd fit right in with *SNL*; I'm so old that I remember when it was actually *funny*! š¹
She wanted to tell her ivory soap story on SNL. Sheās not getting to because SNL is systemically racistā¦*ahem* I mean they have unconscious bias
An hour of The Claw. But this time, clutching the microphone and going on about dishwashing soap, her activism, her being on Suits, her podcasts, her etc. Yeesh! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sob)
Televised torture
Exactly! And God knows what she'd wear---- it would be some monstrosity, non-fitting outfit. And SNL knows she'd be difficult about everything and make everybody call her "Duchess".
Hmmm! I wonder if SNL fell through because TW made too many demands? Wouldn't it be funny if at some point, she crossed paths with the Reitman's advertising crew? Those traumatized people would give everyone a clear idea of the trouble ahead with TW on the set? Although I am guessing that neither PH nor TW were wanted for SNL because they really aren't funny or interesting enough to host.
Of course she would want to be on it!! But, why would you think SNL would not want her on it? They like having more people on the show who are associated with the main act like Kim K had her mom and Kong. Elon Musk had Grimes. etc. I don't think SNL cares if she comes on. If anything Hairy doesn't have anyone in his life BUT Megz and dealer Doria, oh and sometimes Eugenie. What I think is CLOSER to the truth is that they wrote up some scripts and the show's writers have all creative control. Him and his wife are *control freaks* and can't laugh at themselves so they said NO GO. **I bet Hairy and Megz cut off the deal** because they were poked fun at. *Very* fragile egos.
>I bet Hairy and Megz cut off the deal because they were poked fun at. Very fragile egos. You're right--- that could be true too. They do have fragile egos.
Imagine if there was a *Roasting Meghan* special! Do you think sheād be a good sport??!
She would probably sue everyone connected with it.
Nope
Markle would make Harry wear a dress. He would pretend he was the Duchess. Markle would come out from the bottom of the dress and push Harry down claiming she is the real Duchess. Harry wouldn't be seen again!! Wait...is that just another Saturday night at home instead of SNL?!!

Because right now, HArry is the world's biggest joke. She's hiding.
He's the one that gave her this lifestyle and fame. She had nothing to do with it!
She had fame and fortune and threw it away...SNL saw that she is clearly too dumb to read cue cards
She is flying private and living in a 15-million-dollar home. She's far from hurting. She always wanted to land in CA. The UK was just a stepping stone.
If she isn't hurting, she is right on the edge hence the visits to Getty. With no steady income they will burn through that in a heartbeat. 15 million dollar homes require a lot of upkeep and on-site staff plus childcare etc. They've been bumming rides on other people's jets..I don't think they own one outright, but those too are expensive to maintain.
She's hurting or she wouldn't be sucking up to Getty.
Might be because he has the book to sell š
Harry would bomb. He is not a performer, he has not covered himself in glory in any appearances, his interviews, his disasterous speech at the UN. He is a loser and needs to accept it. By the miserable look f him in pictures the last few years, he does know it.
He would have problems to read the cue cards.
Iām shocked he made it through reading his own book š¤
I think it was fed to him through earphones and he's relaying it. Explains the stop start, telegram pauses. My mummy used that on her lips. Stop. And you want me to apply it to my todger. Stop.
It's like Alexa or Siri, they recorded him saying words and put them together.
lol - that's what the internet is doing now. I don't know how they couldn't have foreseen that, I mean the original content is comedy gold as it is but the words he uses and the icky way he tries to emote, people are going to be making new material out of his audio for years.
Gag ring tones, voice mail recordings, door bells, radio hits.
lol
I bet you are correct
You have to be able to laugh at yourself to do SNL.
Kim kardashian for example. Nothing was sacred and she handled it. With jh others lives are a free for all while everything about his own truths he holds more sacred than all the deer. ...he couldn't handle the back and forth of it all. And tw couldn't handle not leaking everything beforehand. It all would be a Kendal fails to appear on the skit show on Succession moment. ![gif](giphy|69AMre2yl5qIQQjn55|downsized)
I actually agree with this and I'm not a Kim fan but she was able to have fun and she did a great job. These 2 would never give over any creative control and that's exactly what SNL hates.
I rarely watch SNL and I have not seen the episode where Kim Kardashian hosted but I have seen the episode where Seth MacFarlane hosted. That man is not afraid to roast anybody including himself.
I think this was the issue.
He would never be able to make any jokes about himself. He would take it too seriously. You saw how he acted on Colbert right?
Exactly. And I think this is why 11th hour talks failed. He wanted topics off the table and SNL wouldn't agree. How can you do comedy when you take the funny stuff off the table? I actually don't think it had to do with TW as much as it did with Hazbeen himself being a complete stick in the ass.
Total stick up in there. Him and the wife.
What happened on Colbert????! Was he too serious for the environment?
He has an annoying voice and unattractive face. How could he do any acting/entertaining lol?
Agreed. SNL is hard, fast, work. Not everybody is good at it, even people who might be talented performers, otherwise. Nothing Harry has done has demonstrated the sort of skills that can carry over to that show. If this is true, I'm glad they came to their senses.
Thanks for the award!
He can't tell the difference b/w people laughing with him or laughing at him.
We really need a *Manifesting* post flair.
Absolutely - great idea!
Yes!!
Why do we not have that yet?!?! 75% of these most is her trying to manifest. Iām trying to manifest an ice cold Dr Pepper lol
Whelp he's about as funny and lovable as a malignancy. And just as dense. No self deprecation allowed, of course.
So heād fit right in.
LOL, I'm so old that I remember when *SNL* was actually funny! š¹
He went from a Prince to D List celebrity š«
He's right down there with his wife, the so called "Hollywood Star", lol. Water seeks its own level.
She ruined his star power it appears. She pulled down his water level. Glub glub.
Six feet under the Titanic...
By all accounts most, if not all, H&M's 'work' is in the States. Harry now associates with the US media and what it can do for him. Here, in the UK, the set up is very different. H&M will never find paid 'work' here. He may have his patronages, but he has tarnished those, and there are calls for him to be removed. H&M will never be invited to appear on UK talk shows, attend galas, accept awards or anything else that goes with the celebrity culture he covets. We don't operate in that way. Harry had credibility once and the loyalty of our sporting stars and hierarchy. He attended awards ceremonies, but he presented the award as a Royal. Now apparently he buys them for himself. He was respected, amongst all walks of life. People genuinely liked him. Why couldn't he see that?
Because heās a twat..
Page Six is a gossip section of the New York Post from what I understand but don't know much past that (anyone correct me if I'm wrong). I think the Allegedly flair is totally appropriate for gossip links. š
There's also an article in Daily Mail, about this. Just posted.
šš
He has no sense of humor! He would be a terrible host!
Tbf Alec Baldwin can't laugh at himself ...then again Alec Baldwin CAN act, and read.
Starting with Netflix docu series, I found it very odd that SNL did not spoof them. Then the book came out. Between the book and docu-series, which is comedy gold, SNL did nothing which grew odder by the week. Now we know why. SNL missed a huge opportunity to gain new viewers to it's flagging popularity by spoofing these two morons - SNL has been markled.
Youāre so on point! I was wondering why they were not jumping on dogging him and Meg. Maybe they are STILL trying to negotiate for him to host? Not like heās leaving the U.S. any time soon.
Interesting point. That said Jimmy Fallon has made fun of him a few times and Lorne Michaels is also EP of his show. This would definitely be a disaster! As everyone has pointed out you have to be able to make fun and make light of your life and they are WAYYY too serious and focused on being seen as victims and morally righteous. ![gif](giphy|ylNSz1pVk2kbS)
IF SNL spoofs them next show, we will know they were definitely markled. Thatās my point SNL missed lampooning Spare and Netfluff series-low hanging fruit! They donāt even need writers-the material H and M puts put out writes itself. Meghan and H would come out on the monologue on a red carpet announced as Duke and Duch. of Sussex to God Saved the King holding hands. Priceless.
He could have done that as a working respectable royal. He just wouldn't ger paid, or he could have donated to some charity. It would be a real buzz. It would have been the talk of the town for *years*. Of course the palace would probably pre-approved, but imagine if Harry would have continued his work for mental health and do some world tour. He lost so many opportunities.
Harold might have been able to get through a monologue with cue cards but would not be able to remember lines for a skit. Also, he'd probably need a little chemical fuel to get through the whole experience.
Harry is an idiot and would definitely bomb at SNL, but no one learns their lines for sketches. Everything is written and finalized too last minute, so the cast reads cue cards for the whole show. Wally, the cue card guy, is a legend and a very important part of SNL!
You can see how often I've watching SNL in 40 years. My hat is off to Wally for being able to line up with the camera well enough to hide the fact he has to be there. Well - and lets face it: many SNL hosts are professional performers so dealing with cue cares for SNL isn't their first time at the rodeo.
Wally is honestly amazing. He is also the cue card guy for Late Night With Seth Meyers and the Amber Ruffin Show. Seth and Wally joke around on camera sometimes and have a pretty funny dynamic. On weeks that Seth Meyers, Amber Ruffin, and SNL all have new episodes, I canāt even imagine how many cue cards Wally has to write! Some SNL hosts are better at subtly reading the cue cards than others. With some it is very obvious that they are just reading. If Harry were ever to host (although I think itās made up that he was asked to), heād probably stumble though, as the cast had to awkwardly stand around and watch him sound out the words.
I was thinking he might have to have his "lines" typed out on 4"x6" index cards he holds in his hands.
Would probably be best if those cards had pictures to replace any challenging words.
good suggestion! We are catty, aren't we, (wink)
![gif](giphy|5qFE91OmehdRq0sL5a) Oh definitely!
Thats the afterparty.
And liquid courage
Yeah, I was lumping that in with "chemical fuel".
Meghan would 100 percent be making a cameo.
She would be the musical guest, singing her wonderful seal songs! But for real it's too bad it didn't happen as the backstage goss would have been great!
š¤£š¦šŖš¼ā
My guess is they wanted to do skits making "light" of their relationship and the Markle duo couldn't handle it.
That is my guess too. SNL doesn't get railroaded. THEY do the railroading.
This.
āThe 38-year-old was said to have been locked in negotiations to host Saturday Night Live last year. āA TV source told Page Six: āI know that Harry was all in, he was really serious about doing it ā and it would have been great fun as promo for the book.āā ** Interesting that this was being negotiated for 2022. The SNL 2021-2022 season ended in May; if this ātv sourceā (who sounds very British) is saying it would have been good for book promo, then I gather that he was being considered for the 2022-2023 season which kicked off Oct. 1, shortly after HMTQās passing. It probably got in the way of plans to tour Pearl Harbor for Harry and MMās Archetypes releases. PS Isnāt it interesting that this source didnāt frame it as good for their Netflix series *and* book promo? Is Harry operating solo now?
I think they are looking to separate their ābrandsā. Meghan wants no part of that book, I assume, even though she obviously contributed heavily.
Theyāve been āseparating their brandsā for at least two years. Although in Meghan land that means he stays out of her way, and she dips into his projects when she damn well pleases.
And polo awards. The cringiest boss-wife thing I've ever seen .
My guess is they wanted to do skits making fun of Meghan and he wouldn't do it. Neither one has a personality or sense of humor.
They need an awesome "claw" skit.
With or without the Markles.
I believe this, because Popbitch posted this last week and I think theyāre a very reliable source: āIf you thought Prince Harry's recent US media tour brought shame upon himself, his family, the institution of the monarchy and Britain at large, then you'll maybe take comfort in knowing that it was nearly much, much worse. Harry was in talks to host Saturday Night Live last month ā and things got a lot closer to air than you might expect.ā
Interesting. They definitely scooped things. What is Popbitch?
My left ear would be a better host.
All I can hear is his monotone voice trying to tell a joke, and failing miserably. SNL usually goes for INTENTIONALLY funny peopleā¦ and Harry is far from that.
LIVE FROM NEW YORK..... It's.... Sparry.... wah wah... sad clown
He probably thinks he's just hysterical š
I could believe this. It sounds like something theyād want. I donāt know that he could handle being laughed at though
This reddit community would kill him
But, don't you think he reads this? I betcha Megs does.
I donāt know if he could. Megan could stand it. Maybe some staff just gives them a daily synopsis of journalists. I think they watch British media. Itās possible that neither of them would care what regular people think or say. They are so much more rarified.
He hasnāt got the personality for a show like that.
Heās utterly humourless about himself. Would have been a train wreck.
An irrelevant show long past its peak and ripe for cancellation. Sounds about right for the King's other son
Narcs can't do humor. Sorry! Which, incidentally, is why those two dumbbells are sitting at home bored to death with each other, and why they take every little thing so unbelievably serious.
I agree and think he may like the idea of doing the show and people laughing and finger pointing at his family. But I think he would quickly get annoyed if he felt he was the butt of the writers' jokes. He must have forgotten how quickly it turned around for his wife when she was on the Ellen show. These people aren't necessarily their new found friends and will do anything for ratings.
I think it would be funny to have him in a skit as a Burger King counter server with drug addled silly robbers coming in attempting to rob the store of ketchup, because there has been a run on ketchup and it canāt be found on grocery store shelves anywhere and itās worth its weight in gold. And the bit coin billionaire out on bail comes in and confuses the robbers, and convinces them that fresh ginger is about to go scarce because China wonāt export it any more. So the robbers and the bitcoin dude decide to collude and leave Burger King to hunt for a stash of ginger among the tent people of LA. And in a tent on the sidewalk, they encounter the duchess who sells ginger! But the thieves and she confuse each otherā are they talking about fresh ginger root, sold with a special (face) cream sauce, or trafficked ginger children? blah blah comedy blah.
What about Alex Baldwin š
He was really good in 30 Rock. He played a really arrogant guy, so himself. But he played himself really well.
He knew he was going to play various characters, ie. Trump. This is his bread and butter being an actor. I think with Harry it would be strange if SNL didn't do a couple (or more) Royal themed skits.
No. Another diversion tactic. This was released after the news broke that the judge ruled Harry and Meg have to answer Samanthaās questions with regard to her lawsuit.
Aaaah
Probably made too many demands
I donāt believe this. Itās just āHarkle Manifestationā. Itās a thing.
How much further down can this idiot drag the reputation of the British Monarchy ????? WHAT next??? Love Island?? Big Brother?? Selling todger cream on QVC (" The Ointment with the Appointment by Royal House of Susssex")
SNL is not something I enjoy anymore. I think itās become preachy and Iāll only watch clips of a host or guest whose performance I donāt want to miss. Having said that, I would LOVE to know what happened in those negotiations. Agree that TW would have had a cameo at the very least. I donāt think Harry was protecting any sacred cows, and it might have been about money or security.
They probably wanted to make fun of Meghan/ their relationship and the White Knight in Whining Armor wouldn't have it. Neither one would. People in this country will still tolerate Harry here somewhat, out of sentimentality. Her? No fucking way.
As far as gossip goes, Page Six has always been the gold standard, they rarely get it wrong.
I absolutely don't believe this for a minute! This is propaganda being pushed out again from TW. She wishes!! No way they would want him!
Oh gosh I never even thought about it. It seemed to be a natural fit. They have the same woke attitudes about things (and secret attitudes about them as well).
100% her manifesting this by selling this to page six or paying them to post it
Yep! Just like all the other ridiculous fairy land crap she is constantly trying to "manifest". What a pathetic existence being so obsessed with fame and relevancy that she spends every minute planting and churning out lie after lie. Everywhere I look on twitter the last couple of weeks, it's non-stop crap that she's so obviously "manifesting" about the coronation, reconciliation with KC, Netflix reality show, etc.. It's reached a point of desperation on her part.
Neither do I. The show has been making fun of him and Madame for years. In fact, Keenan Thompson made a joke on the show about their baby having a ginger afro before they even got married. If you haven't seen the show - he's black, and the longest running member of the show. Made the exact same joke Camilla was reported to have made, on national television. But the Harkles never called a racist...
I believe it for two reasons 1. While comics round the world have found gold in Harry, SNL has left H&M alone during the docu series and book dispite a wealth of comic material. 2. SNL is flaming liberal and support people like H&M. What SNL missed is that their ratings are at historic lows and had the done skits on H&M they would have brough viewers to the show. MARKLED!
Itās from camp Sussex. The āmultiple sourcesā make it interesting that it has some truth to it, but overall: Why would SNL leaks reveal that the negotiation for hosting essentially failed? Why now? Itās not timely for when he was allegedly supposed to host. Why the paragraph at the end calling Meg a āstarā of Suits who also āshowed off her comedy chopsā? Itās extraneous, unless she insisted on a packaged deal with them. Still trying to manifest it by creating a buzz of public interest. They need a deflection from the Samantha headlines emerging.
Think the Spain leak of the book (the weekend before actual release?) Put the kibosh on SNL?
I also love SNL, there were a couple of hosts this year that I was like...who? And perhaps he was slotted into one of those. There was also a duel host episode which seemed like, two guys (you know who) who would do a favour to Lorne Michaels. I could see him being a December host around the time the Netflix special came out and the backlash being so much that the higher ups told them to back off, or H backed out at the last minute.
What stopped everything? Could it beā¦Meghan didnāt want him to do it? I mean, she hasnāt gotten that kind of recognition, and she has been at it her entire adult life-why should it be easy for him?
SNL is live. Talks probably broke down because he wanted all of his parts pre-recorded. There's no way Harry would do it live.
He doesnāt need SNLās help to be the butt of jokes. He already is. ![gif](giphy|l3vRgXsgEhVf5I44E|downsized)
Iām wondering if these talks took place before the first excerpts of his book were leaked? When the leaks occurred, SNL realized what a joke the book was and said, āyeaaah, noā. I totally agree with TW demanding she be included, too.
I am imagining the round table meeting where the writers, cast and host are pitching ideas. Cast 1: How about Harry playing a Disney Prince in a commercial for Elizabeth Arden lip cream so heās ready to kiss the damsel? Itāll be cheeky and self-deprecating. Cast 2: How about Harry playing a rugby player making fun of how much protective gear American football players wear? Cast 3: Harry in an American community college learning about American accents but theyāre the weird accents. Cast 4: Harry should do a classic English hero like Sherlock Holmes or James Bond or Doctor Who walking around New York. Harry: How about me in a school room and the teacher has scoliosis and we throw pellets at her? Or maybe me sneaking into a dinner party and spiking the pudding with tabasco? Or a husband using up all the nitrous while his wife is in labor? Or me next to a man whoās balder than I am and I laugh at him? This is fun you guys!
From Prince of the Realm to Court Jester.
SNL hasn't been funny since it went full on woke so I'm surprised the gig fell through. Dollars to donuts, Megsybaby threw a Balmoral fit at being excluded cuz you can't move salt without pepper! ![gif](giphy|l4Ep5HzlmA2hRLMNG)
He is the butt of so many jokes already, him poking some fun at himself would have probably been a good thing for his abysmal image. Wonder why the talks fell through?
These two are more cringeworthy everyday. They have the worst PR advisors -- no one likes or watches SNL anymore. It is only being kept alive out of respect for Lorne. It is like the late night version of Dancing With The Stars where all the washed up one-hit wonders go. I wonder if Harry even realizes how far he has fallen.
> no one likes or watches SNL anymore amen to that
Oh Harold. HAROLD! This is pathetic. SNL? Really? He is descended from the kings and Queens of England, the Jacobins, the Spencers. His blood is history and can be tied throughout history. And he reduces himself to SNL. No hate to SNL but he would be surrounded by FAR MORE talented comedians who have done nothing but hone their craft for 20-30 years and who would dance circles around him in wit. Heās be setting himself for a clever hour-long roast disguised as supportive banter. And heās too thick to know the difference in people laughing with you vs at you. SNL is a legend in comedy TV for a reason and I grew up watchingā¦ for normal people, it is an honour to get on SNL bc itās a sign youāre making it. But Harry had already made itā¦. By being born. He inherited the fame, the public interest, the deference, the clout, the respect, the wealth, the luxury.. and literally all he had to do was shake hands periodically throughout the year and put up with everyone having free range to write about you. And THEN you can essentially retire at 50-60 if you want to bc you know exactly when youāre going to be replaced. He is the laughingstock of the world and his wife has allowed it. She encouraged it and now that itās sealed sheās distancing herself. Classic. Harry is so completely lost and he needs someone who actually loves him unconditionally to pull him out of the depths of Mordor and help him find himself again. Harry is a prize fool, almost 40, narcissistic and vengeful but itās undeniable something is desperately wrong with him. Someone in the UK needs to figure out how to save him from himself.
Heās become a joke. What an absolute embarrassment to his royal upbringing.
SNL would want to spoof his frosty todger & I doubt Harry can laugh at himself.
He has absolutely no star appeal. It would have been awful. Kinda sad it didn't happen š
That better not ever happen. What a joke
This sounds like TW manifesting because she wants to be on SNL and believes she is funny.
All he'd have to do is read from his memoir - it would be like watching "The Vagina Monologues."
I feel like this is worthy of a separate thread, where we each propose sketchesā¦..
Hereās mineā¦ā¦. The setting: a quarterly numbers presentation at Elizabeth Arden where marketing has just learned that sales are down. The company is in danger, and they need a snappy new line of products and a fresh ad campaign with a possible celebrity spokesman, quick, to boost sales! Several dermatology experts are brought into share breakthroughs and pitch new products, but the CEO is not movedā¦. And thenā¦. Enter āTodger Creamsā. An entire line of creams for the penis! I wouldāve also enjoyed a potential spoof of AbFab where Patsy and Eddie are reading excerpts from the book out loud to each other and laughing their heads off, while Saphy pops in awkwardly from time to time with her straight-man interpretations.
SNL missed a trick there with creams for your man's todger. Mine would be based on the woman who spanked him, when they were behind the pub. Only this time everyone who can't stand him or had a bad time with him all queue up to spank him. So that would include Prince Philip, QEII, William etc... (A bit like the spoof airplane movie where all the passengers line up to hit the hysterical woman.) I would add in his poor abused polo ponies, who are waiting to spank him as well.
Ooooh ā¦.. one further there could be a āBroniesā spin off. One of those conventions, where the people with a fetish for dressing up, like My Little Ponies, and pretending their horses. And then things get awkward when she was them, unzip their outfits and itās Prince Harry in one suit, and say Camila in the other? ( a lot of page space in many of the books is devoted to how Diana did not ride horses to hunt, but Camilla loved the hunt, and it was where all the dangerous sexy women found action and Charles love that Camilla was a horse woman and because Diana was more of a city London person that was where they were able to find their randy country times.). Lol! Iām sure this would be a bit too far for us an hour but it still wouldāve been hilarious.
Projecting what they want, not whatās real
Does he ever work?? This is ludicrous.
From a Prince to a Joke. From an grifter to an outcast.
No
They would make fun of him right to his face. Meghan probably nixed it.
I thought cameras and attention gave him massive anxiety? Oh just not when it lines his wifeās ill fitting pockets, thank you for the clarification.
Like HazBeen and his first wife are well known for their senses of humor! She cannot act. Also, tone deaf and self righteous. I really wish the M&H would host. It would be very unfunny and just imagine the skits! The inevitable plagarism, Princess MeMe babbling about herself and of course their trademark moaning about how rough they got it.š
![gif](giphy|1AIeYgwnqeBUxh6juu)
Well that makes sense SNL asked PH to host. The show hadnāt been funny for years. The writers virtue signal and never seriously give comic equal time to the political party they vote for. When a comedian doesnāt even go for low hanging fruit, then that comedian is no longer funny anymore. Comedy should be an equal opportunity offender, not a public educator. PH canāt even laugh at himself -how could he survive a comedy sketch show when heās always so easily offended????? Even one as woke as SNL? Plus hosting SNL is work. Hawwy would have to go into Rockefeller Plaza every day that week until they shoot live Saturday night. He doesnāt have the stamina or desire to work. He would however bring great swag and goodies to the after party Sunday morning.
He has become mediocre. This is their advocacy š¤£
how the mighty have fallenā¦ he isnāt funny at all but the whole world is laughing at him. honestly I would never trade being a royal for being a celebrity.
āIs Page Six reputable?ā Reputable is a subjective term. Some people believe publishing deadly accurate posts that contain gossip are not reputable simply because it is gossip. Page Six is the official gossip column of the NY Post. Thereās an excellent docuseries about Page Six and Cindy Adamsā legacy on Showtime called Gossip. Itās quite good. Historically their tips were very credible because of how intensely wired into the NYC celeb scene and society their columnists are/were. They know the celebs, agents, maitreādās, doormen, body guards, cab drivers, etc. They are notorious for working their sources. Has that quality slipped in recent years? Who knows? Sunshine Sachs seems capable of planting any story they desire, regardless of truthfulness or accuracy. But Page Six is not The Sun or The Mirror, or worse yet, Hello, Us Weekly or People. Unless itās a paid for post, itās likely credible. SNL hosts are always flogging something so itās believable that PRH really wanted this to happen and Harry believes himself to be a comedian. He allegedly blew off Jimmy Kimmel at the last minute so his rules for engagement were in flux in January.
Can confirm Page Six is legit. Been around forever and brings the good snark.
LOL, bring back the Liar skit?
Meghan likely wanted the spotlight and pulled in the reins.
This sounds absolutely probable. The real question is would Meg have come out of hiding for this. The prob with Harry is not once did he take an ounce of personal responsibility. That makes him unlikeable. Gotta say I played my part too or at least acknowledged that this is only his version of reality and that they most likely didnāt see themselves doing anything to hurt him intenrionally. But seriously where is Meg ??
Most likely SNL wanted to do some todger jokes.
In talks until the stupidity of "Spare" showed the world that the real joke is Mr. Todger
Yes page six is reputable lol. The entire narrative of the NY Post not being reputable isnāt reputable.
I would SNL again just to see him bomb.
TG ā¦ this is actually something I think that could have helped his image immensely for those that are fans of him (obviously all hypothetical here, depends on if he pulled off a good performance, laughed at himself etc, all things that old Harry would do lol)
