Semi-random question

Is there any fiction about a court jester who's become king?

They beat me to Verence, but I note that Danny Kaye's "The Court Jester" is a movie about a king-maker jester, which is close.

George W. Bush comes to mind...

I can think of the converse, but telling you what would be a spoiler. (I think you've read it, anyway.)

This has been "unhelpful answers for today."

I assume "Foundation and Empire" doesn't count?

I don't suppose you'd count Lord Valentine, who wasn't exactly a court jester.
