“A Guiding Light”: Late-Night Hosts Remember Queen Elizabeth II

Late-night hosts paused their shows on Thursday to remember Queen Elizabeth II, who died at the age of 96.

On Thursday, the royal family announced that Queen Elizabeth II died peacefully at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. She will be succeeded by her firstborn son, Charles, after 70 years of rule.

Despite his sadness at the news of her death, British Late Late Show host James Corden expressed gratitude to the Queen for “the most incredible service and leadership that she has shown during all of our lifetimes.”

“She is the only queen most of us have ever known,” said Corden. “We saw her as an immortal and necessary part of the fabric of our world.”

After that, the late-night host reflected on how Queen Elizabeth II was “universally adored.” “She represented good in this world, living a life of honour, a life of service, a life dedicated to bettering the lives of others,” he said. And it’s always felt as if she was there for all of us; she never wavered for 70 years. She was never involved in politics. She didn’t need us to listen to her thoughts. She never gave an interview and never shared anything on social media. It was never about her own PR for her, which may explain why she was as beloved and respected by a president as she was by the guy down the street, and she would treat both of them equally. She was always there for you, no matter who you were.”

In the midst of a “world of uncertainty” and “instability,” Corden stated that Queen Elizabeth II was “always the queen” and “a guiding light.” “She was always gracious, always dignified, always a shining example of leadership. She represented stability in a world where the floor is frequently shaky. Queen Elizabeth is unique. “A life’s work that will never be repeated.”

The news of the queen’s death, according to Corden, will “change our country forever,” and he concluded by thanking the queen for her “sacrifice.” “We will always remember what she stood for, and we will always be grateful for her sacrifice,” he said.

“It’s been interesting to see how different people’s reactions have been to this news,” Noah said. “You understand the full range of emotions, from ‘How will the kingdom survive?’ to ‘You shouldn’t have colonised India, bye bitch.'”

Regardless of what people think of Queen Elizabeth II, the late-night host noted how long she has sat on the throne. Her Majesty took power in 1952, making her one of the world’s longest reigning monarchs.

“That means she’s seen Adam West as Batman, Michael Keaton as Batman, Christian Bale as Batman, Ben Affleck as Batman, and then seen Robert Pattinson as Batman,” Noah joked. “Look, I’m sure there’s a better way to measure time than in Batman, but you get the idea.” She’s been playing for a while.”

The host went on to say that she was a true queen, joking that the term is overused nowadays. “You just post a photo of your smoothie on Instagram, and everyone’s like, ‘Yeah, self-care queen,'” he explained. “No, you are not a queen because of that.” You’re a duchess of self-care at best.”

Noah concluded his segment on the queen by discussing Charles and how he’ll take the throne now, joking that it’s “weird” that he’s 73 and has the same title as his grandchildren until now.

“The world wasn’t designed for an old prince,” he went on. “I can tell you right now that no one in a Disney film says, ‘Someday my prince will come, and he’ll wear orthopaedic shoes and eat cottage cheese for every meal.'” Charles will be the first royal to ascend the throne in one of those motorised stairlifts because he is so old.”
