Stephen Colbert showed off his talent for whale sounds when he mocked President Trump for his "Prince of Whales" tweet on Thursday.
The president misspelled Prince Charles’ title in a tweet on Thursday, calling him the "Prince of Whales" instead of the "Prince of Wales." He later deleted the tweet and sent another one with the correct spelling.
Colbert lampooned the typo on "The Late Show" later that night.
"Prince of Whales, fantastic guy," Colbert said, putting on a Trump voice. "I threatened him with plankton tariffs, OK? I mean, I scared this guy, I got right up in his krill, but he says wonderful things about me like …"
Colbert then started making whale noises to the delight of the audience.
