Daily Shows Josh Johnson reacts to King Charles dropping jokes in Congress

A man in a suit sits behind a talk show desk. An image of King Charles making a speech in congress is visible in the top left corner.

King Charles is visiting the U.S., and as well as gifting Donald Trump a golden bell he also took some time to make a couple of joke-filled speeches.

In the clip above, Daily Show host Josh Johnson plays footage of the king making Congress laugh with a joke about the “shared history” between the U.S. and the UK.

“Wow, he really commands the stage— I’m sorry, he really colonises the stage,” says Johnson. “What’s annoying about this as a comedian is that he is actually killing it.”

The host goes on to play footage of Charles being applauded after talking about “the foundation of the principle that executive power is subject to checks and balances.”

“Ooh, he got us too good!” says Johnson. “No, no it’s funny you see, because we don’t have checks and balances anymore because the foundations of our democracy are slowly being eroded away! You crazy Charles, you crazy.”
