Meghan Markle was playfully teased by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler during their recent stand-up comedy performance. The Duchess of Sussex had received criticism from the “queen of jams” regarding her latest As Ever release.

The former Saturday Night Live stars headlined the Restless Leg Tour at the Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City on June 21. Reports suggest that they humorously targeted various celebrities, including Prince Harry’s spouse, Ben Affleck, and Channing Tatum, as revealed by an insider to Daily Mail.

Tina, aged 55, and Amy, aged 53, commenced the show with a monologue reminiscent of their previous Golden Globe hosting. They appeared on stage in glamorous attire, with Tina comparing her gold dress to a ‘Heidi Klum for Spirit of Halloween’ outfit and jewelry from the ‘Disney Pandora menopause collection.’

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

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

Amy added, ‘Nicole KidmanĀ is not here tonight. She’s too busy being in every single movie and TV show in her name.’

‘Leonardo DiCaprio is not here. I assume because Amy and I have combined age of 105,’ Tina continued their opening speech.Ā 

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.Ā 

‘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.Ā 

Continuing their celebrity roast, they told the audience that they argue with each other over how they would ‘cook Channing Tatum.’

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.’

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.’

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.

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.

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.

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.Ā 

‘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.

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.

‘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.

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

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).

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.

‘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.’

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

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.Ā 

She remarked, ‘Now that you say it, I really feel that they’re 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.

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.

In between sets, they enjoyed cuisine from the hotel’s popular seafood restaurant, Linguini By The Sea, an insider shared with Daily Mail.Ā 

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, includingĀ promotions and sweepstakes and headline entertainment.

After headlining Atlantic City, they performed theirĀ final show of their tour – which began in March in Orlando – on Sunday at the Prudential Center in Newark.Ā
