Video: Ardern and Colbert in EV car-aoke

The Late Show host Stephen Colbert is airing snippets of his New Zealand visit, which includes being collected from Auckland Airport by prime minister Jacinda Ardern in her Hyundai Ioniq EV.

The two even sing a few bars from Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody on the way to Ardern’s home where Colbert offers to officiate at Ardern’s wedding to partner Clarke Gayford.

A passer-by recognises Ardern in the EV but doesn’t click who Colbert is.

At Ardern’s home Colbert also sprung a surprise on Lorde.

Colbert spent a week in New Zealand as its “Newest Zealander” and features his travels and catch ups with some famous Kiwis.
