Benedict Cumberbatch read James Corden a scary bedtime story about the US election

Telling the tale of a woman looking to rule a magical land, only to struggle in a scary forest full of trolls, emails and House Select Committee on Benghazi (bit of a Game of Thrones crossover there), the story concludes as Hillary faces a terrifying orange monster who threatens “I’ll huff and I’ll puff, and put a ban on all Muslims.”

Only time (and a few key swing states) will tell who actually rules the kingdom at the end of the story tomorrow, but one thing is for sure – almost any terrifying political reality sounds better through the sonorous filter of Benedict Cumberbatch’s voice.
