Nothing specifically, but they had a hot interest in the "Americas" for a whiiiile, as did all European countries
Edit, do a quick search lol
That's the biggest stretch in the world.
The joke is about education systems. If it was about British interest overseas he would have said something like "Yes, we are English. We take a lot of interest in far away lands".
I'm not saying he wouldn't make that joke, it's a normal enough joke for Brit to make. But he is certainly joking about quality in education in this case as he mentions it. You are just imagining the world as you want it to be, not seeing it for how it is.
Let's wait for the Brits to wake up and see what their view is.
Ok, none of this matters.
You're totally freaking out about a joke they got MILDLY turned around and it's a super cool look.
"Just wait until my friends get here"
To be clear:
most of America has shit geography because most Americans never go anywhere. (It's a big country, where most citizens don't need to leave to find work or make lives)
Most of Europe (including the UK) have a much better understanding of "the colonies" because it was a huge part of their history for longer than America was a country.
I lived in Surrey from age 5-18 so I think I have a passing, but shallow view of the situation.
Edit if you actually think Britain and Nicaragua have no colonial relationship, maybe learn your geography lol

There are quite a few countries in Europe that never had colonies. They have high standard of geography at school anyway. It's not related to colonialism, it's more about the education system.
