But a joke about the Duchess of Sussex in her debut Netflix special was almost cut for being too controversial.The 43-year-old comedian told Insider Monday that she's thought about being cast as Markle on the historical drama "since day one." During her debut Netflix special "Welcome to Buteaupia," which premiered in late September, Buteau spoke about her "teeny tiny wish" for Markle to "let herself go." That way, Buteau jokingly said she could play her on "The Crown.""I'd make 'The Crown' so f---ing edgy. Oh my God, I'd be in the corner of Buckingham Palace getting my hair braided, sucking on a chicken bone, pouring frosé on someone's t----," she told the crowd, also mentioning that she'd like to have a sex scene with <a href="http://insider.com/category/prince-harry">Prince Harry</a>. Buteau told Insider that the joke, which segued into a conversation about male genitalia, was "crossing the line for most of my family members" and almost got cut from the special. "It's who I am and I am really tired of people shaming me because I like sex. That's ridiculous. And that's another thing that happens when you are a woman and it's like, you're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't," she continued. "Definitely look f---able, but don't talk about it and like it."<div type="image" title="michelle buteau" height="3448" width="5168" msid="78648854" hostid="261"></div>Buteau said she advocated to keep the bit about Markle in the set. "We weren't going to put that in, but I was like, 'You know what? We got to keep that.' Because since day one I've been talking about it and look who she is now," she said. "It's like, come on."While Buteau has plenty of onscreen experience in projects such as "Always Be My Maybe" and "Someone Great," fans of "The Crown" have many ideas about who they'd like to portray Markle on the series.After the Duke and Duchess of Sussex <a href="https://www.insider.com/prince-harry-meghan-markle-announce-stepping-back-from-royal-life-2020-1#:~:text=A%20stylized%20letter%20F.&amp;text=Prince%20Harry%20and%20Meghan%20Markle%20announced%20in%20an%20Instagram%20post,a%20%22new%20charitable%20entity.%22.%22">stepped back as "senior members"</a>of the royal family and said they planned to "work to become financially independent" in January, people began to wonder if they'd seek employment. And since Markle has a background in acting and used to appear on "Suits," which went off the air in September 2019, many have <a href="https://www.insider.com/meghan-markle-acting-memes-the-crown-prince-harry-2020-1">said they hope she'd play herself on future seasons</a> of "The Crown."The show's fourth season, <a href="https://www.oprahmag.com/entertainment/tv-movies/a29812468/the-crown-season-4-cast-release-date-news/">set to premiere in November, </a>is set in the 1980s. It focuses on when Diana Spencer, Prince Harry's late mother, joins the royal family. So, there's plenty of time to figure out who will play the former actress, since Markle <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/11/world/europe/duchess-sussex-prince.html#:~:text=Incoming%3A%20Meghan,out%20sensationalized%20coverage%20of%20Ms.">didn't meet Prince Harry until 2016</a>. There's also a chance that Markle hasn't seen the show, or may not be interested in getting involved. Royal biographer Robert Lacey <a href="https://www.insider.com/the-crown-season-three-royal-family-the-queen-royal-biographer-2019-10">told the Radio Times</a> that the royals refuse to watch the historical drama because it hits too close to home. "Whenever any of them are asked about 'The Crown', they always deny watching it. And that may be because imagination can convey a truth that the facts themselves cannot," he said.

Michelle Buteau reveals her joke about Meghan Markle in her debut special almost got cut for being too risqué

<ul class="summary-list"><li>"Welcome to Buteaupia," <keyword id="8177297" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Michelle-Buteau">Michelle Buteau</keyword>'s debut <keyword id="128682" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Netflix">Netflix</keyword> <keyword id="6359193" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="comedy">comedy</keyword> special, premiered on Tuesday. </li><li>The comedian, who previously appeared in movies like "Always Be My Maybe" and "Someone Great," discusses her movie with Jennifer Lopez, her marriage to a Dutch man, and much more. </li><li>Here's a round-up of Buteau's funniest jokes from the hour-long set. </li></ul>After nearly 20 years in the <keyword id="1384665" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="stand-up">stand-up</keyword> comedy circuit, Michelle Buteau landed her first special on Netflix. Titled "Welcome to Buteaupia," the hour-long set, which was filmed at New York City's Sony Hall, was released on the streaming platform on Tuesday.And though this is her debut Netflix special, you've likely seen the New Jersey-born comedian elsewhere. She performed a 15-minute set on Netflix's "The Comedy Lineup," played supporting roles in movies like "<a href="https://www.insider.com/category/always-be-my-maybe">Always Be My Maybe</a>" and "<a href="https://www.insider.com/category/someone-great">Someone Great</a>," and hosted the popular reality show "<a href="https://www.insider.com/category/the-circle">The Circle</a>" — just to name a few of her projects. In "Welcome to Buteaupia," the comedian takes center stage, literally climbing over things in her "borrowed gold sequins plus-sized suit" and high heels to get there. From the time the special begins, her playful energy and masterful delivery fill the room with laughter, proving that audiences only got a taste of Buteau's talent in her aforementioned work.But even though Buteau admits that she doesn't have a lot to complain about, given her recent success in comedy and her healthy family, she still manages to pull back the curtain on her life's uncomfortable, hilarious moments in "Welcome to Buteaupia."And as a star comedian that just filmed a movie with Jennifer Lopez, a Black woman in an interracial marriage, and a new mother to twins, she has plenty to talk about. Here are the nine funniest jokes from "Welcome to Buteaupia."<div type="image" title="michelle buteau" height="3201" width="4269" msid="78396117" hostid="261"></div><h2>Her experience making a movie with Jennifer Lopez</h2>In a hilarious opening segment, Buteau drops that she recently wrapped a film with Lopez, who the comedian describes as an "athlete that can dance, that's a businesswoman in a tank top." She admitted that "the hardest part of working with J. Lo is pretending that I didn't know everything about her."While they filmed together, Buteau said she hatched a plan to bond over their shared birthday. "So I said, 'Jen, my birthday is July 24th.' She said, 'What?' She said, 'No!' I said, 'Yes!' She said, 'Your birthday is July 24th? I said, 'Isn't that crazy?' She said, 'No one has my birthday.' I said, 'I know. It's so special.' I said, 'Jen, we should have a joint birthday party.' And then she walked away and didn't talk to me for like three hours," Buteau said. <h2>Buteau and her husband's different hobbies</h2>A common thread throughout the special is Buteau and her husband Gijs van der Most's contrasting interests.Because while Buteau prefers to watch "90 Day Fiancé" on the couch, her husband likes to adventure outdoors. And though they both respect each other's hobbies, Buteau said van der Most occasionally encourages her to join him. "The other day my man hit me with, he's just like, 'Oh, babe, do you want to climb a mountain?' I said, 'Emotionally?' 'Cause as a Black woman I do that every day," Buteau joked. <h2>Their first night out as parents</h2>Buteau said that both she and van der Most were thrilled to have their first night out after their twins were born. Unfortunately, the night didn't turn out the way they'd planned. "I remember the first time the babies were old enough where we can leave them and go to a party. I had a statement lip on. I was like, 'You know I'm ready.' But it was like we'd never been in public before. Oh my god, we were a mess. It was like we were in our 20s doing coke for the first time. We were like, 'We got a story, you want to hear it? Tell me your story, I got a story too!' And then I fell asleep on a toilet," she said.<h2>Buteau and her husband's communication styles</h2>Because Buteau and her husband were raised in different cultures, the comedian said they don't fully understand certain aspects of each other's behavior — even after 10 years of marriage."I feel like he doesn't understand the nuance of an American husband. I'm from Jersey and he thinks I sound aggressive all the time. That's his thing," she said. "Like I'll be making breakfast and I swear to God I feel like he just hears DMX."<h2>Language barriers between her and van der Most's family </h2>Since Buteau has spent time overseas with her husband and his family in the Netherlands, she's had a couple of questions about his language and culture.Specifically, she was curious about her mother-in-law's decision to legally change her name. "My mother-in-law, beautiful lady, her name is Johanna. She legally shortened it, as you do in Holland, to Hanneke. What now? I said, 'Hanukkah, like the holidays?' She's like, 'It sounds nothing like the holidays.' I was like, 'Happy Kwanzaa, b----,'" Buteau said. <div type="image" title="michelle buteau" height="3448" width="5168" msid="78396118" hostid="261"></div>And when she learned that "kijk" translates to "look" in Dutch, it opened an entirely new can of worms. "One of the first times I was in Amsterdam, we were taking a group family picture and I did not know the Dutch word for 'look' is 'kijk.' Yes, b----. Spelled K-I-J-K. Kijk. So I'm just standing in public with the family and they're just like, 'Kijk the camera, kijk, kijk, kijk the camera. Kijk the camera!' I said, 'Hanneke, do something!'" she joked.<h2>Buteau's dream role to play Meghan Markle on 'The Crown'</h2>If she had to ask for one thing from the universe, Buteau said she'd like to request that Meghan Markle "let herself go," in turn opening a future on-screen opportunity for the comedian. "I secretly and selfishly want Meghan Markle to let herself go so I can play her in 'The Crown,'" she said. "I'd make 'The Crown' so f---ing edgy. Oh my God, I'd be in the corner of Buckingham Palace getting my hair braided, sucking on a chicken bone, pouring frosé on someone's t----."<h2>Her husband's lesson on changing diapers</h2>The comedian had to teach her husband to change a diaper, an action she described to him as being similar to putting on "an orthopedic shoe."Having never changed a baby's diaper before, van der Most was shocked to learn how messy cleanup can be. "He didn't realize babies have these things called 'blowouts,' And it's not when they straighten their hair. It's when they s--- up their backs to their necks. He was changing a baby and it had a blowout and it kept s----ing, and oh my God, my husband shut down like a host in 'Westworld,'" she said. <h2>Explaining surrogacy to a male neighbor</h2>After running into a neighbor, Buteau told him that she welcomed her twins via surrogacy. The man was unfamiliar with the process, so she took it upon herself to explain it to him. "I was like, 'Our DNA. She's the carrier. A miracle happened. We have a family. She's an angel walking on Earth.' I see his eyes going and he goes, 'Oh, is it like 'Handmaid's Tale?'" she said. "And I knew I had a choice. So I said, 'Yes, exactly like 'Handmaid's Tale.'"<h2>Her daughter's visit to the doctor's office</h2>While Buteau's son is smiley and happy all the time, she joked about her daughter's sassy personality. The comedian said, "Even the pediatrician was just like, 'Wow, her peripheral vision is so good.' I said, 'That's side-eye, motherf---er. She know you got the needle.'"

"Please welcome Michelle Buteau!"When asked about Cardi B's involvement with the stand-up special, Buteau told Insider she was "so happy" to have her lend her iconic voice to her special, which premiered on the streamer last month."She is just a Dominican angel on Earth, who blesses us with her presence. And so I was so happy she said yes to the dress," she told Insider on Monday, referencing the hit TLC series of the same name.Buteau added, "I mean, her manager's a fan, which was amazing." Aside from the fact that Cardi B has a very recognizable voice, Buteau said she wanted the big-name artist on the special because she's an advocate for other women. "I love when people are really for other people, particularly women for women. And I know Cardi's one of those peeps," she said. The 43-year-old comedian, who now lives on City Island, in the Bronx, also noted that the fellow Bronx rapper gave the night a distinctly "New York City" feel. "I was so excited that she was like, 'Okay. New York City!'" Buteau recalled. "Because I really want it to feel like a New York City night. And who's going to introduce me except for another bada-- b---- from New York?"<div type="image" title="michelle buteau" height="3201" width="4269" msid="78670427" hostid="261"></div>Following her high-energy entrance on stage, Buteau <a href="https://www.insider.com/michelle-buteau-netflix-special-best-jokes-welcome-to-buteaupia-2020-9">launched into an hour-long set</a> about life as a new mother to twins, her recent project with <a href="http://insider.com/category/jennifer-lopez">Jennifer Lopez</a>, and the hilarious moments from her marriage to a Dutch man named Gijs van der Most.The New Jersey-born comedian told Insider that "Welcome to Buteaupia" was "the first time ever where I was like, 'Boom. It can't get any better than this.'"During the special, Buteau held the audience in the palm of her hand, delivering laugh after laugh. Still, the comedian admitted that her jokes don't always land with everyone.She admitted to being criticized for some of her jokes and is consistently surprised by which bits lead to backlash. For example, she said one viewer got upset by her jokes inspired by people that fall too much or carry blankets on planes. "Obviously you never know what's going to strike a crazy cord with someone, but I don't mind. I mean, that's what it is too, right? [It's] supposed be a conversation for better or for worse," Buteau said. "You got to call people out, especially from their microphone," she continued. "It's not even just about being funny anymore. It's about using your voice."<div type="image" title="michelle buteau" height="3448" width="5168" msid="78670430" hostid="261"></div>And while comedians like <a href="https://www.insider.com/category/dave-chapelle">Dave Chapelle</a> and <a href="https://www.insider.com/category/bill-burr">Bill Burr</a> are outspoken critics of cancel culture, Buteau deemed it "necessary" to call people out for their behavior. "It's all necessary. Cancel culture also holds people accountable for the s--- that they serve, and the stuff that we tolerate, which is great," she said. Buteau acknowledged that there's a "peripheral circle that throws a wrench in the movement" when people <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/fight-anti-masks-coronavirus-pandemic-freedom-us-politics-2020-8">complain about things like wearing masks</a> to protect others from getting COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.But the comedian said that people's courage to confront powerful individuals about their problematic behavior or speech has been beneficial to society in select circumstances. "We're talking about Time's Up and #MeToo, it's just real misogynistic, racist f---ing stuff," she said. "Especially as a man, it's very easy to be canceled and I get it, but I'm also like, well now you have to think twice about your behavior. Isn't that crazy?""Welcome to Buteaupia" is available to stream on Netflix.

"It is coming back. We're gearing up to do a season two," she told Insider on Monday. The 43-year-old comedian said that the show's creators and casting team have already warned her about a "surprise" in the upcoming season."God, casting won't give me any details, but they're like, 'You will be surprised.'

And since the contestants are initially physically separated from each other throughout filming, the show is, in many way, well-suited for the pandemic. The show's creator, Tim Harcourt, told <a href="https://www.oprahmag.com/entertainment/tv-movies/a30382719/the-circle-netflix-filming-location/#:~:text=Netflix's%20The%20Circle%20officially%20began,for%2015%20days%20of%20filming.">The Oprah Magazine back in January</a> that the season one contestants were isolated for 15 days while filming from their apartments.

Harcourt also said that the contestants didn't have internet access and couldn't bring computers or phones with them while filming.In fact, Joey Sasso, the season one winner who walked away with the $100,000 grand prize, <a href="https://www.insider.com/joey-sasso-the-circle-winner-fun-facts-interview-2020-5">told Insider that his experience on the show</a> made quarantining during the pandemic much easier. "My time in isolation during 'The Circle' prepared me for this quarantine in so many ways," he said in May. "I feel like it really gave me an understanding of what it's like to be completely cut off from society and have to rely on your own mental strength to make it through each day," Sasso continued, "to become comfortable living a similar pattern every single day and have to hold it together without losing my mind."<div type="image" title="joey sasso" height="2160" width="3840" msid="78650367" hostid="261"></div>Netflix <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/love-is-blind-circle-renewed-two-additional-seasons-at-netflix-1286171">announced</a> back in March that the reality show was renewed for a second and third season.
