The ever-outspoken Kelly Ripa and her husband, Mark Consuelos, didn’t hold back when discussing Meghan Markle’s recently announced Netflix cooking show. On a live segment of their morning talk show, *Live with Kelly and Mark*, the couple had a field day dubbing the Duchess “the woman who can’t cook.”
The roast took place during an outdoor broadcast in New York City, where the hosting duo was delivering the day’s news and pop culture updates. When the topic shifted to Markle’s new cooking program, Ripa couldn’t resist sharing her unfiltered thoughts.
“So, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is launching a cooking show on Netflix,” Ripa began, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Let me guess, it’s going to be called ‘Duchess Who Can’t Cook,’ right?” Mark Consuelos nodded in agreement and jumped in, “You know, I have to hand it to her. The woman certainly knows how to stay relevant. First, it was the tell-all interviews, then the Spotify podcast, and now a cooking show. What’s next? A HomeGoods line? I mean, is there anything this woman can’t do?”
Ripa quipped, “She’s a royal, actress, activist, podcast host, and now apparently a gourmet chef. Is there no end to her talents?” Consuelos chimed in, “Well, if her cooking is anything like her acting, we’re all in for a real treat. I can’t wait to see her attempt to saut an onion without burning down the entire kitchen.”
The jabs kept coming as Ripa and Consuelos poked fun at Markle’s perceived lack of culinary skills. “I heard the working title for this show was ‘Meghan Takes the Microwave,’” Ripa said, eliciting laughter from the audience. “Because, let’s be honest, that’s probably the extent of her cooking expertise,” Consuelos added. “And I’m sure the episodes will be full of those signature Meghan faces—like when she’s chopping an onion and suddenly looks like she’s solving world hunger.”
The scathing commentary continued with Ripa and Consuelos gleefully roasting every aspect of Markle’s cooking show announcement. “I just have one question,” Ripa said. “Does this mean we’re finally going to get the real story on how she learned to make that famous avocado toast? Because I think the world needs to know.” Consuelos agreed, “Absolutely, and I’m sure the production value will be top-notch too. I’m envisioning lots of slow-motion shots of Meghan delicately placing microgreens on a perfectly plated dish, all while looking pensively off into the distance.”
The two hosts proceeded to reenact an exaggerated version of what they imagined the show might look like, complete with dramatic pauses, intense stares, and overly careful plating techniques.
As the segment drew to a close, Ripa delivered one final zinger: “You know, I have to hand it to Netflix. They really know how to keep the public’s attention. First, it was Harry and Meghan’s documentary, then the Markle family tell-all, and now this cooking show. It’s almost as if they’re trying to single-handedly save the streaming platform.”
Consuelos nodded in agreement. “Absolutely, though I have to wonder, is there really an audience out there clamoring to watch the Duchess of Sussex fumble her way through a simple recipe? I guess we’ll have to wait and see.”
The audience erupted in applause and laughter as Ripa and Consuelos wrapped up their ruthless roast of Meghan Markle’s upcoming Netflix venture. It was a display of the hosting duo’s trademark wit and unapologetic candor as they gleefully poked fun at the former royal’s latest attempt to maintain her public profile.
Whether you agree with their assessment or not, one thing is certain: Ripa and Consuelos certainly weren’t holding back in sharing their honest and hilariously scathing thoughts on Markle’s culinary aspirations. Only time will tell if *The Duchess Who Can’t Cook* lives up to its name or if Meghan Markle manages to surprise everyone with her hidden kitchen talents. But one thing is for sure—Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos will be watching and won’t hesitate to serve up another round of merciless commentary.
