John Mulaney, the comedian behind Saturday Night Live, launched his new Netflix project, Everybody's Live, with a playful jab at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Mulaney compared his show's funding to the Duke and Duchess's large Netflix deal, highlighting the lack of a concrete plan for his project, much like theirs. The announcement comes amidst news of the Royal couple's recent 'professional split' and renewed togetherness at the Invictus Games. Meanwhile, Netflix has unveiled a new reality competition series, 'Building the Band', which will feature a touching posthumous appearance by Liam Payne.
John Mulaney , a star of Saturday Night Live , took a playful dig at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle while announcing his upcoming Netflix project, Everybody's Live with John Mulaney . This anticipated 12-week live variety talk show is set to feature a diverse array of stars. At a Netflix event, Mulaney couldn't resist drawing a humorous comparison between his project and the lucrative deal secured by the Duke and Duchess with the streaming giant. 'This is a really fun experiment,' he quipped.
'Not since Harry and Meghan has Netflix given more money to someone without a specific plan.'Like Harry and Meghan, there's nothing but goodwill on my side. People are rooting for me left and right.' The Royal couple made headlines in December 2022 with the release of their docuseries, Harry and Meghan, on Netflix. The program delved into their whirlwind romance and the reasons behind their decision to step back from their royal duties. Around the same time, Meghan is set to captivate audiences with her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, a lifestyle program originally slated for a March launch. However, the release was postponed due to the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. In a surprising twist as 2024 draws to a close, the high-profile couple reportedly opted for a 'professional split,' with each pursuing more solo projects and engagements. But recently, they seem to have rekindled their partnership, with Meghan accompanying Harry at the February Invictus Games.Reflecting on his own venture, John shared his candid thoughts: 'It was one of those shows that neither Netflix nor I really needed to do. I never wanted to host a talk show and they were getting out of the talk show game, so it was the perfect moment to do this.' He embraced the irreverent nature of his programme, stating: 'We will never be relevant, we will never be your source for news, we will always be reckless. Netflix will always provide us with data that we ignore.' John celebrated the distinctiveness of his show, remarking: 'There is absolutely nothing new about what I'm doing. But by taking a lot of elements other people have already done and doing them out of order, it feels new and that's what's important.' He also joked about its potential success: 'If we can be one-tenth as popular on Netflix as anything from South Korea, I will have the most successful talk show in world history.'In a different development, Netflix has unveiled its latest reality competition series called Building the Band. Adding a poignant touch, it's been revealed that Liam Payne will make a 'posthumous appearance' following his tragic passing last October
