May 2024 · 3 minute read

STEPHEN Colbert has been ripped for his "lousy interview" with Prince Harry on Tuesday night.

Many fans demanded that the host should "do better."

Stephen had the Duke of Sussex on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to talk about his new book, Spare.

They talked about his time in the military, his mother Princess Diana, the British press, leaving the Royal Family and more.

The 38-year-old dissed his family even more by toasting with Stephen and saying that America was a "great place to live" and boasted about "beautiful California."

He took part in a skit with Tom Hanks, which mocked royal pomp and circumstance.

Prince Harry also revealed that if his mother was still alive, he doesn't think his life would have come to "all of this."

Although some of the topics were serious, Stephen kept the interview light-hearted with drinks and jokes.

This was Prince Harry's second interview, his first late night talk show, in New York City, as his first was on Good Morning America with Michael Strahan.

Despite the audience at the late night talk show being excited for his appearance, social media users thought differently.

'DO BETTER!'

After Stephen posted a photo of himself and the prince to this Instagram, his followers asked him to "do better."

"Ugh. Nope. We’ll be watching Jimmy Fallon," one said.

"Won’t watch - do better Stephen," said another.

A third added: "Why? Lousy choice of guest."

"So sad, no won’t watch Colbert tonight. I thought Harry wanted privacy!! Boring," said one follower.

Another bored viewer wrote: "Nope not the least bit interested."

"Nope! Just nope!" commented a Late Show watcher.

"I used to look up to you, Stephen," wrote a disappointed fan.

Many others simply said they wouldn't be watching.

'WHO CARES?'

Stephen wasn't the only host who was slammed for his interview with Prince Harry.

GMA's Michael also received a lot of backlash for talking to the Duke of Sussex.

Viewers took to Twitter to claim the popular host should not have given the rogue royal a major platform to "complain" about his family.

On Monday morning, Michael appeared on the morning show to go into further details about their interview.

The two talked about Prince Harry's time in the military, and his fractured relationship with his brother, Prince William, and father, King Charles.

The pair also dove into Harry's mother Princess Diana's death, and his life now as a father and husband.

Although Michael's colleagues and some followers praised the interview, others were once again tired of hearing about Prince Harry.

Many Twitter users said that no one cares anymore about the angry royal and blasted the show for "giving him a platform."

"Please make them stop. They are beyond annoying," wrote one fan.

"So much drama, Harry," said another.

A third asked: "Why are we giving Harry all this attention?!"

"Nobody f***ing cares. Stop trying to make these j**k-offs a thing," wrote one annoyed GMA fan.

"Drama of a spoiled brat," said another.

"Who cares? Why is this important or news?" another asked.

Some social media users praised Michael for his interview skills and a "great interview."
