In a recent episode of “Live with Kelly and Mark,” the dynamic duo brought some summer heat with their playful critique of Meghan Markle’s cooking abilities.
The New York City studio buzzed with energy as Ripa and Consuelos took to the grill—figuratively speaking, of course.
Their lively banter turned into a comedic roast that had the audience in stitches.
The segment kicked off with Markle’s new cooking show, “The Royal Table,” serving as the backdrop for Ripa and Consuelos’ spirited commentary.
It was evident that they had been itching to share their thoughts on the Duchess’s culinary endeavors.
Ripa, with a mischievous grin, drew attention to a platter of grilled vegetables and meats, setting the stage for their humorous dissection of Markle’s kitchen skills.
“Meghan thinks she’s quite the chef, doesn’t she?”
Consuelos mused, eliciting laughter from the crowd.
He went on to question whether being part of the royal family truly qualifies someone to whip up gourmet dishes.
“I wonder if Uber Eats is still her go-to for fine dining,” he joked, prompting a wave of chuckles from the audience.
Ripa seized the moment, reminiscing about Markle’s attempt to bake a lemon cake for her son Archie’s birthday.
“Let’s just say it looked more like a brick than a cake,” she quipped, shaking her head in mock disappointment.
Consuelos nodded in agreement, amplifying the humor by asking how anyone could trust Markle with the grill if she struggled with something as simple as dessert.
The playful jabs continued as Ripa recalled another culinary misstep, where Markle’s homemade pasta ended up resembling Play-Doh.
“When will you learn, Meghan?”
she exclaimed dramatically.
“The royal family has chefs for a reason!
Maybe you should stick to choosing tablecloths instead,” she added, igniting more laughter from the audience.
As the roasting intensified, Ripa delivered a final zinger: “I heard Meghan once tried to make beef Wellington for the Queen.
Can you imagine the disaster?”
Consuelos responded with a low whistle, acknowledging the absurdity of such an ambitious dish gone wrong.
“That’s got to sting,” he said sympathetically, comparing her failed attempt to “hamburger helper.”
The audience erupted into applause, clearly enjoying the light-hearted ribbing of Markle’s culinary shortcomings.
Ripa and Consuelos reveled in the success of their comedic exchange, their infectious energy resonating throughout the studio.
It was a testament to their chemistry as hosts, effortlessly engaging the crowd with their playful banter.
As the segment wrapped up, the duo couldn’t resist one last jab at Markle.
Ripa teased, “Maybe if you don’t make it as a Duchess, you could try your hand at food criticism.”
Consuelos chimed in, suggesting that while Markle might succeed in that realm, her reviews would likely be spicier than usual.
Laughter and applause filled the air as Ripa and Consuelos exchanged a triumphant high-five, basking in the joy of their performance.
Their unique charm and charisma shone through, making for an entertaining segment that left viewers thoroughly amused.
Once the cameras stopped rolling, Ripa and Consuelos shared one final laugh, clearly enjoying the aftermath of their culinary critique.
The playful roasting of Meghan Markle not only highlighted their comedic talents but also showcased their ability to connect with the audience in a light-hearted and relatable manner.
