Trevor Noah mocks Wolf Blitzer’s obsession with Kim Jong-un puns

Things got weird in North Korea this week when dictator Kim Jong-un’s brother, Kim Jong-nam, died under mysterious circumstances at a Malaysian airport. One of the alleged assassins was wearing a t-shirt that said “LOL,” but as far as The Daily Show host Trevor Noah is concerned, that’s not even the wackiest element of all this. That honor goes to CNN commentator Wolf Blitzer, who just loves making puns based on Jong-un’s name. For instance, Blitzer labeled the Jong-nam story “an un-expected death.”

“A man was killed here, and you’re going with ‘un-expected?'” Noah said. “And that seems bad until you realize that Wolf Blitzer has an un-controllable problem.”

Noah then played a montage of Blitzer’s past North Korean puns, ranging from “un-seen threat” to “un-der fire.”
