The anticipation surrounding Megan Markle’s alleged upcoming appearance on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon has taken a confusing turn.
Initially, NBC published a story on its website stating that Markle would be a guest on the show in December.
However, shortly after, Omid Scobie, a close associate of Megan, took to Twitter to vehemently deny the report, claiming that she is not scheduled to make an appearance.
In a tweet, Scobie expressed his frustration, stating, “Looks like someone at NBC didn’t get the memo.”
He further emphasized that despite announcements made through various PR channels, Megan is not set to appear on The Tonight Show.
The original NBC article, which has since been deleted, had mentioned that Markle would discuss her recent projects, including the controversial upcoming Netflix documentary about the Sussexes.
A representative from NBC released a statement clarifying the situation, stating, “Earlier today, it was inaccurately reported that Megan, the Duchess of Sussex, would be appearing on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon on December 7th.”
This blunder comes nearly three months after Megan canceled a previously scheduled appearance on the show following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8th.
The cancellation occurred on the same day that Megan and Prince Harry were due to attend the UN General Assembly in Manhattan.
The suggestion of Megan’s potential talk show appearance undoubtedly raised concerns within the palace, particularly considering the reported topic of discussion regarding the Sussexes’ Netflix docuseries.
The controversy surrounding the documentary has already sparked heated debates even before its premiere.
In addition to the talk show speculation, Megan Markle recently faced criticism for her defense of the term “woke” during a podcast interview with GB News’ Mark Dolan.
Markle defined “woke” as being alert to injustice in society, especially racism.
However, Dolan countered her definition, stating that the term has evolved to represent the opposite of being caring, empathetic, and a good person.
He argued that “woke” now encompasses actions such as banning books, music, and art, rewriting classic literature, and censoring certain episodes of television shows.
Dolan further expressed his concerns about the prioritization of feelings over facts and the obsession with skin color, which he believes dilutes and erases women’s rights and safety provisions.
He concluded by describing “woke” as a negative force in modern society that threatens the foundations of the Western world.
In light of these recent events, the uncertainty surrounding Megan Markle’s appearance on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon persists.
Whether she will ultimately grace the talk show stage remains unknown, leaving fans and critics alike eager for further updates.
