C-SPAN, which covers congressional proceedings, caught Guy’s hilarious expressions as his dad talked about former President Donald Trump‘s guilty verdict, and the video quickly went viral.
Unaware of his son’s antics, the congressman continued his speech. Later, he explained the situation: “This is what I get for telling my son Guy to smile at the camera for his little brother,” he wrote on social media.

People online loved Guy’s playful spirit, saying he stole the show. “So sorry I was slow responding to your email, I was tied up watching this over and over again,” Aaron Fritschner, communications director for Virginia Democrat Rep. Don Beyer, posted, sharing the clip.
As they exited the House chambers and entered a GOP conference meeting, applause broke out for the young comedian.
Guy, who just finished kindergarten, is spending the week in Washington, D.C., with his dad. He returned to work with the congressman on Tuesday and chatted with reporters.
“Hey Guy, you ever get tired of being on TV?” a reporter asked. “No,” Guy replied, turning on his comedic charm.
