He roasted the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in front of the A-lister audience and said: “This will be the one place where you [might] see Arnold Schwarzenegger sitting next to Nikki Glaser sitting next to a family therapist with music by Mannequin Pussy.
“This is a really fun experiment. Not since Harry and Meghan has Netflix given more money to someone without a specific plan.”
A source from within the audience told the Mail: “It was shocking to me that Netflix would seemingly allow Meghan and Harry to be ridiculed at such a prestige event.
‘”And how strange that a show by the couple who signed a multi-million dollar deal with Netflix barely featured – apart from one brief clip in a montage.”
The insider added: “It really felt like Netflix don’t give a d*mn.”
Harry and Meghan reportedly signed an £80 million five-year deal in 2020 with the streaming giant.
It comes as With Love, Meghan, is set to be released in March after it was postponed amid the LA fires.
Meghan said in a statement to Tudum, the official companion site to Netflix: “I’m thankful to my partners at Netflix for supporting me in delaying the launch, as we focus on the needs of those impacted by the wildfires in my home state of California.”
The show’s original release date was January 15.
Meghan’s new show will feature eight 33 minute episodes with a host of her various Hollywood friends trying her simple, yet “elevated”, food.
