Andy Cohen’s Take on South Park: A Hazards of Being in the Public Eye
US animated TV series South Park recently aired an episode titled “The Worldwide Privacy Tour,” which has sparked conversations across the nation.
During a guest appearance on Megan's podcast, Andy Cohen, the host of Watch What Happens Live, shared his interesting perspective on the show that has captivated audiences.
Cohen explained that when you willingly enter the public eye, a show like South Park is bound to take you on a journey.
In this particular episode, the red-headed Prince of Canada and his wife find themselves desperately seeking privacy and end up in South Park as part of their tour.
The storyline also features a funeral for the Queen of Canada, who bears a striking resemblance to Queen Elizabeth.
Additionally, the Prince's book, titled “Waaah,” shares similarities with Prince Harry's memoir, “Spare.”
Cohen, during an interview, expressed his belief that the South Park episode may not hold deep meaning.
He pointed out that when you are in the public eye, you should expect such hazards and challenges.
It is an inevitable part of the experience, according to Cohen.
The latest episode of Archetypes, hosted by Meghan, featured discussions with Judd Apatow, Trevor Noah, and Andy Cohen.
Meghan, in this final episode, aimed to settle scores with Hollywood men who had rejected her in the past.
In a video titled “The Royal Grift,” it was mentioned that Meghan made Andy uncomfortable due to his failure to invite her onto his show and seemingly forgetting about her.
Meghan claimed to have met Cohen twice, once before the start of the TV series Suits and another time when she visited WWHL with Gabriel Macht, her co-star from Suits, in 2015.
Although she wasn't an official guest on his talk show, Meghan expressed her eagerness to be on his show, as she was a huge Housewives fan at the time.
During his show, Andy Cohen Live, Cohen addressed the situation and acknowledged Meghan's feelings.
He understood why she wanted to bring up their past encounters, emphasizing that one never forgets how they were treated.
Cohen further revealed that Meghan had even attended a taping of WWHL before, which made him feel slightly worse.
He shared that Meghan seemed delighted to inform him about it.
Cohen admitted that not inviting Meghan to appear on his show was the biggest blunder in the 13-year history of WWHL.
He expressed regret and stated that he would now be eager to have her as a guest on his show, even begging for her appearance.
Despite the less-than-flattering portrayal of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on South Park, PR expert and GoUp founder Edward Coram James believes they should feel honored to be included among the esteemed figures who have been featured on the show.
James pointed out that being the subject of satire on such a prominent animated program signifies their topical relevance in the international public discourse.
While they may be the b*tt of the joke, it is worth noting that famous personalities only make their way onto South Park if they are truly significant in some way.
In conclusion, Andy Cohen's take on South Park sheds light on the hazards of being in the public eye.
The recent episode featuring the royal couple has sparked conversations and discussions across the nation.
Despite the show's satirical portrayal, it is clear that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's significance in the public discourse cannot be denied.
