Charles Esten is once again showcasing his comedic chops—remember, he was on Whose Line Is It, Anyway before Nashville—as Carl Hardee Sr. in a new commercial for CKE Restaurants, the parent company of Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr.
In the new clip, Carl Sr. recounts to his dimwitted song the harrowing inspiration behind the creation of the chain’s chicken sandwich.
Spoiler alert, Carl Sr. doesn’t die.
Watch the clip below.
