Harry and Meghan's visits to community organizations in Nottingham supply the footage, but Kevin O'Sullivan supplies an impersonation. Partway through TalkTV's What Just Happened?, the host appears in costume as Meghan for a spoof advent-calendar promotion involving jam and candles.

The episode has drawn nearly 200,000 views in 19 hours, far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for regular videos. A separate discussion of the Nottingham outing, featuring Duncan Barkes and royal correspondent Rupert Bell, also attracted an unusually fast audience.

O'Sullivan's panel includes Samara Gill and Ash Gould, with Kinsey Schofield appearing remotely. They review footage from the couple's school and youth-club appearances, question the crowd turnout and debate how the visits should be presented. These were not official royal engagements: Harry and Meghan have stepped back from working royal duties.

The title's suggestion of a "FAKE" crowd belongs to the episode's critical framing, not an established finding about those attending. The discussion is opinion-led, and the Meghan impersonation is a staged comedy sketch, not footage of her promoting a product.

Nor does the full episode stay with the Sussexes. Its later stretches move into vintage television commercials and Ash's account of a Pringles-themed burial-casket contest.
