A resurfaced video of Charlie Kirk and his then-fiancée Erika has gone viral. It’s a candid outtake where nerves turn into laughter as the couple tries (and adorably fails) to nail the opening of The Charlie Kirk Show.
A Lighthearted Struggle to Start
In the clip, Erika is already seated, smiling nervously as she glances toward Charlie, who’s still off to the side. “I’m not gonna be able to focus sitting this close to him,” she admits with a laugh.

Charlie, not yet seated, leans in with a playful, “Hi, you ready?” That’s all it takes. Erika breaks into laughter, flustered in the most endearing way. When the video cuts, Charlie sits beside her and she confesses, still laughing: “I’m just gonna be staring at you.” Their back-and-forth already feels less like a show intro and more like two people enjoying each other’s company.
Compliments and Nervous Laughs
As Charlie tries to count them in, “Alright, we ready? 3, 2, 1…,” Erika interrupts, giggling: “You’re gonna have to do it again.” The takes keep slipping, and the laughter keeps building.

Then comes the off-the-cuff compliment: “You’re so handsome.” Charlie smiles and fires back, “I’m engaged.” Erika covers her face, laughing harder: “This is mortifying.” The moment lands because it shows their easy chemistry. Her bubbling energy, his steady warmth, both of them smiling and occasionally laughing through the nerves.
Love on Display
When he finally gets the opening out, Charlie turns to camera and introduces her with unmistakable pride: “Joining me is the most special guest, my fiancée Erika. Welcome to The Charlie Kirk Show.” The line is simple, but the affection is clear. It’s the kind of unscripted tenderness fans rarely saw on air.
