  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • Welcome.

  • Well, guys, I have some news

  • to make people feel a little better.

  • And that is the royal family

  • is just as messed up as everyone else's.

  • [ Laughter and applause ]

  • Yeah, last night, Oprah sat down with

  • Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

  • for a two-hour prime-time special.

  • I actually thought it was a great interview.

  • Obviously, I love Oprah. She's the best.

  • But good on Meghan Markle for being brave enough to talk about

  • her own mental-health struggles

  • and all the stuff she had to deal with.

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • Yeah, we learned quite a bit

  • about the rules, the protocols, the firm.

  • We even learned that Tyler Perry took them in

  • when they came to America and provided them with security.

  • Basically, if you missed the interview,

  • the royal family was like, "Goodbye,"

  • and Tyler Perry was like, "Heller."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Yeah, last night was an intense and emotional two hours.

  • My wife, she walked in and asked why I was crying.

  • I was like, "The NBA all-star game is really good this year."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • "Steph Curry sank a Mountain Dew ball."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Yeah, we learned quite a bit from the interview,

  • like what we've been missing all year wasn't a normal life.

  • It was Oprah.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Yeah, it was a big event, mainly because they revealed

  • the baby's gender in California

  • without burning down an entire forest.

  • [ Laughter and applause ]

  • Last night, 17 million people watched the special,

  • which means the biggest shows on TV this weekend

  • were all about powerful women and redheads.

  • [ Laughter and applause ]

  • 17 million.

  • The ratings were so big, ABC just offered the couple

  • their own weekly show called "Royal-ish."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Yeah, over 17 million viewers tuned in.

  • CBS celebrated until they heard that more than 600 million

  • watched a TikTok about feta cheese.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • If you thought this interview was big, tune in next Sunday

  • when Prince Charles is on "Dr. Phil" like, "Catch me outside."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • "How about that?

  • Catch me outside?"

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Yeah, Oprah's interview was such a big ratings success,

  • she's already got another prime-time special in the works.

  • Check out this promo I saw.

  • -Oprah is back with another prime-time interview

  • with another powerhouse couple.

  • -You don't know what I'm going to ask.

  • -And it's her most intense... -What was that conversation?

  • -...interview... -Wait, hold up.

  • -...yet. -So, are you ready?

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -Oprah with Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head.

  • -Unbelievable.

  • Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head.

  • Another big moment during the interview was when Harry was

  • asked about his dad, and he casually mentioned this.

  • -When we were in Canada, I had three conversations

  • with my grandmother and two conversations with my father

  • before he stopped taking my calls.

  • -Even worse, he'd respond to texts with,

  • "New mobile, whom is this?"

  • [ Laughter ]

  • "New mobile, of whom is this?"

  • We actually got our hands on the last phone call

  • between Harry and Prince Charles.

  • It's pretty intense. Check this out.

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • -That can't be a real phone call, right?

  • Where are we getting that?

  • That can't be real. -No way.

  • -Another big revelation was that Meghan said she and Harry

  • actually got married three days before the royal wedding.

  • Great, now I feel like a fool for waking up at 5:00 a.m.

  • to watch two married people get married.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • When she heard about the secret wedding, the Queen was so upset,

  • she asked for her panini maker back.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Yeah, it was a truly explosive interview

  • with shocking revelations that will stick with us for decades,

  • like this one.

  • -My first job was when I was 13 at a frozen yogurt shop

  • called Humphrey Yogart.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -Even weirder, Harry worked at a sewing shop

  • called Alfred Stitchcock's.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Well, guys, let's switch gears here a little bit.

  • During a press briefing today, the director of the CDC

  • announced new guidelines for vaccinated Americans.

  • Watch this.

  • -If you're fully vaccinated and you're indoors,

  • there is no need for masks or social distancing

  • if everyone there is fully vaccinated.

  • -Oh, man, bingo halls are about to look like

  • a Señor Frog's on spring break.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Most Americans are like, "Great news!"

  • While Texas is like, "What the hell's a CDC?"

  • [ Laughter and applause ]

  • Yeah, you can gather with anyone who is vaccinated,

  • and more importantly, you can act like a smug A-hole

  • around anyone who's not.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • You can tell things are getting better because the head of

  • the CDC came out and asked

  • if anyone wanted the rest of her breath mint.

  • Like, "Oh, come on, hey."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • You're taking it too far now.

  • "Who wants it? Who wants it? Huh, huh?"

  • [ Laughter ] -Eww!

  • -That's right. According to the CDC,

  • two weeks after getting vaccinated --

  • [ Laughter ] Did you like that?

  • Did you see what I'm saying, dude?

  • [ Laughter ]

  • That's right. According to the CDC,

  • two weeks after getting vaccinated,

  • grandparents can hug their grandchildren.

  • Or as this grandmother put it,

  • "Yeah, it might be a bit longer than that."

  • [ Laughter and applause ]

  • Well, guys, everyone is talking about this.

  • Today, Burger King U.K. announced a new program

  • that helps female employees who are pursuing culinary careers,

  • but they're getting a lot of criticism

  • for how they went about it.

  • They sent a tweet out that said,

  • "Women belong in the kitchen."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -What?

  • -Anyway, happy International Women's Day, everyone.

  • [ Laughter and applause ]

  • I'm pretty sure one PR person just flame-broiled their career.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • As soon as it happened, 10,000 people broke their fingers

  • rushing to be the first one to tweet,

  • "What a whopper of a mistake."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Man, but what a gaffe for Burger King U.K.

  • Overall, just a brutal week for the British royals.

  • [ Laughter and applause ]

  • And finally, in Oklahoma, there's a reward being offered

  • for something pretty interesting.

  • Listen to this.

  • -A sizable bounty is now on a legendary figure.

  • Bigfoot is now wanted in Oklahoma

  • for more than $2 million.

  • -Nice try, Oklahoma.

  • You're still not as crazy as Texas.

-Welcome to "The Tonight Show"!
