Tina Fey<\/a> and Amy Poehler<\/a> poked fun at Meghan Markle during their stand-up comedy show over the weekend after the Duchess of Sussex<\/a> was reprimanded by the queen of jams over her latest As Ever release<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Saturday Night Live alums took over Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City on Saturday, June 21, for their Restless Leg Tour where they threw shade at many stars including Prince Harry<\/a>‘s wife, Ben Affleck<\/a> and Channing Tatum<\/a>, according to an insider who spoke with Daily Mail.<\/p>\n

Tina, 55, and Amy, 53, opened the show with a monologue that was similar to them hosting a past Golden Globe award show as they took the stage wearing sparkly gowns with the 30 Rock star comparing her gold dress to ‘Heidi Klum<\/a> for Spirit of Halloween’ and jewelry from the ‘Disney Pandora menopause<\/a> collection.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

At first, they joked about the celebrities who were not in attendance at Ocean’s Ovation Hall theatre, kicking it off with Ben Affleck.<\/p>\n

‘Ben Affleck is not here. He’s home going through his contacts looking for more Jennifers to bother,’ Tina said.<\/p>\n

Amy added, ‘Nicole Kidman<\/a>\u00a0is not here tonight. She’s too busy being in every single movie and TV show in her name.’<\/p>\n

The Saturday Night Live alums roasted celebrities like the Duchess of Sussex, Ben Affleck and Channing Tatum as they took the stage at Ocean’s Ovation Hall on Saturday\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Meghan's <\/p>\n

Meghan’s recipes shared on her Netflix show, ‘With Love, Meghan’ was referenced multiple times throughout Tina and Amy’s stand-up act<\/p>\n

‘Leonardo DiCaprio is not here. I assume because Amy and I have combined age of 105,’ Tina continued their opening speech.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Then, Amy dissed Meghan Markle, 43, for not being in the crowd because she was too busy cooking, specifically baking cookies topped with edible flower petals (also known as ‘flower sprinkles’) – featured on her With Love, Meghan Netflix show.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Meghan Markle is not here tonight. She’s putting flower sprinkles on cookies, and Piers Morgan is furiously rage masturbating about it,’ the Parks and Recreation star snided, referring to the UK journalist who mocks Prince Harry and Meghan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Continuing their celebrity roast, they told the audience that they argue with each other over how they would ‘cook Channing Tatum.’<\/p>\n

Amy insisted she would ‘dice him up and pan fry him over an open flame,’ while Tina suggested she would ‘slow braise’ and top ‘olive oil with lemon,’ and then ‘save his skin to make merkins so that no spiders get into our vaginas at night.’<\/p>\n

Although there were no celebs in the audience, Amy and Tina praised the ‘white women’ in the crowd as the theater lights came on and the comedians gave a sigh of relief that it was ‘finally a safe place for you.’<\/p>\n

The joke was seemingly in reference to the heightened sexual assault accusations and convictions in Hollywood, including Harvey Weinstein, who is serving a 16-year sentence after being convicted of rape and sexual assault in 2022.<\/p>\n

They made a comment later on in the show about how they did some ‘fun things’ with him in 2012, but then Tina told the audience, ‘Don’t worry about it. Don’t Google it.<\/p>\n

\"Amy <\/p>\n

Amy joked that Meghan Markle was not in the audience in Atlantic City because ‘she’s putting flower sprinkles on cookies’<\/p>\n

\"Flower <\/p>\n

Flower sprinkles are flower petals that Meghan uses as decorations on her cookies<\/p>\n

\"Tina <\/p>\n

Tina informed all the mothers in the audience that they shouldn’t waste their time making Meghan’s ‘fruit rainbow’ for birthday parties because kids don’t remember at a young age<\/p>\n

\"Tina <\/p>\n

Tina Fey joked about Meghan and Harry blocking out their kids’ faces for privacy<\/p>\n

The famous friends continued the show with different segments, including a mock SNL Weekend Update with surprise guest Will Forte followed by Amy doing her own stand-up comedy bit to ‘test out new material,’ she said, and Tina following suit by sharing a timeline of their friendship.<\/p>\n

When Tina talked about throwing her kids’ birthday parties when they were younger – she has two daughters with her husband Jeff Richmond (Alice, 19, and Penelope, 13) – she informed the audience that parents shouldn’t stress about throwing parties.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘They’re not going to remember their first seven birthday parties. They’ll remember the feeling of being loved. They’re not going to remember if the Bluey plates don’t match the Paw Patrol cup,’ she said.<\/p>\n

The Mean Girls actress then added in another Meghan Markle joke. This time referencing the mother-of-two’s fruit platter made in the shape of a rainbow.<\/p>\n

‘So, if you’re like making a Meghan Sussex fruit rainbow, just know that you’re doing that for you. Okay? You’re doing that to prove something to yourself and that’s okay too,’ Tina shared with all the mothers in the audience.<\/p>\n

Shortly after, she shaded Meghan and Harry blurring their kids’ faces when sharing photos of Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four, with the public.<\/p>\n

When highlighting the year 2008, Tina said that Amy gave birth to her ‘beautiful son Archie,’ who is now 16 (she also has a son Abel, 14, with ex Will Arnett).<\/p>\n

In the slideshow behind her, she showed a photo of Amy with Archie and blurred Archie’s face – similar to the way Meghan and Harry blur photos of their Archie.<\/p>\n

\"Amy <\/p>\n

Amy and Tina’s Restless Leg Tour wrapped over the weekend after they performed two shows in Atlantic City on Saturday followed by their final performance on Sunday in Newark<\/p>\n

\"Their <\/p>\n

Their comedy show featured a mock Saturday Night Live skit with surprise guest Will Forte<\/p>\n

\"Tina <\/p>\n

Tina and Amy ended their show by changing into pajamas and answering questions from fans<\/p>\n

‘I wanted to respect Archie’s privacy so that is a picture of Amy with a baby filter on it,’ Tina said. ‘Still really cute.’<\/p>\n

In the past, Amy commented about Prince Harry and Meghan naming their son Archie. She told Seth Meyers back in 2019<\/a>, that they ‘look like a real cute couple and I love that name [Archie].’<\/p>\n

The Late Night with Seth Meyers host noted that Amy had her own ‘William and Harry situation’ with her two sons because her youngest, Abel, is also a redhead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She remarked, ‘Now that you say it, I really feel that they\u2019re copying me. Like, “get off my jock, man!” But joking about it, she added that the royal family can get away with copying her because it’s legal in England.<\/p>\n

Tina and Amy performed two sold out shows at Ocean Casino Resort on June 21st – a matinee and an evening show – along with Zarna Garg who opened for them. They closed out each event by sitting on comfy chairs in pajamas as they read questions submitted by fans.<\/p>\n

In between sets, they enjoyed cuisine from the hotel’s popular seafood restaurant, Linguini By The Sea, an insider shared with Daily Mail.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Their show at Ocean was part of the hotel’s Summer of Sevens birthday celebration, which is a lineup of ‘seven cherry-picked new experiences’ offered by the resort, including\u00a0promotions and sweepstakes and headline entertainment.<\/p>\n

After headlining Atlantic City, they performed their\u00a0final show of their tour – which began in March in Orlando – on Sunday at the Prudential Center in Newark.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tina Fey and Amy Poehler poked fun at Meghan Markle during their stand-up comedy show over the weekend…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":208738,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[83632,13534,7709,14819,92,7721,7719,368,7718,7720,1281,447,7710,519,27671,7711],"class_list":{"0":"post-208737","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-amy-poehler","9":"tag-ben-affleck","10":"tag-british-royal-family","11":"tag-channing-tatum","12":"tag-dailymail","13":"tag-duchess-of-sussex","14":"tag-duke-of-sussex","15":"tag-femail","16":"tag-harry","17":"tag-meghan","18":"tag-meghan-markle","19":"tag-prince-harry","20":"tag-royal-families","21":"tag-royal-family","22":"tag-tina-fey","23":"tag-uk-royal-family"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114734959871854919","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208737","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=208737"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208737\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/208738"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=208737"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=208737"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=208737"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
