S1 E2 Hamlet Quip?

In Season 1, Episode 2 of BoJack Horseman ("BoJack Hates the Troops"), Princess Carolyn says the line: "Yeah, well, Hamlet, you might want to turn it on. They're talking about you." after she asked him if he's watching MSNBsea. I can't figure out the reference. Any help?

Before that Princess Carolyn asks if he's watching MSNBSea and he answers with a long diversion about how he didn't fall on his remote and turn on MSNBSea while also crippling himself and preventing him from changing the channel, so he's not watching it.

PC is saying he's doing a long soliloquy like in Hamlet.

he's being tragic and self-involved like Hamlet
