Jimmy Fallon mocks Meghan Markle's Netflix cooking show

Jimmy Fallon made fun of Meghan Markle during an episode of The Tonight Show. He focused on a moment from her new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan. In the scene, Markle transfers pre-packaged pretzels from one plastic bag into a smaller, personalized bag for her guest. Fallon found this moment odd and amusing. While playing a trivia game on his show, Fallon and his sidekick Steve Higgins joked about the scene. Higgins asked what confuses scientists, and Fallon suggested “Is there life on another planet?” Higgins then revealed the real question: “Why does Meghan Markle make her own pretzel bags?” This got a laugh from Fallon and the audience. In the first episode, Markle opens a bag of peanut butter pretzels and moves them into her own decorated bag. She explains this is to keep her guest, Daniel Martin, safe from nut allergies. The clip quickly went viral, with many viewers mocking her actions on social media. Meghan's show debuted on March 4 and has not received great reviews. Critics described it as “queasy and exhausting.” One reviewer only gave it one star, commenting that it felt like a chore to appreciate Markle’s efforts. On the other hand, the show's director, Michael Steed, defended Meghan’s cooking skills. He praised her passion for cooking, noting that she’s not a professional chef but has genuine love for it. Despite the criticism, Markle has already filmed a second season of her show, which will come out this fall.
