@@Muzikrazy213 You stupid? I know this was a lip sync, but the recorded audio was her real voice, dumbass. She's a legit broadway singer aside from being an actress. Merry Christmas! 😁
@@barbarajolley3513 Actually she's been nominated for 5 Tony Awards, but only won 1. She's been nominated for and won a number of other awards, though.
Madcow got ONE and it showed he pays MORE than anyone in the country, and fills out things meticulously too. things you wont even understand when you look at such sections of pages you dont' even get to look at given the fact that so many TDS victims have no idea what they are doing in life... only hate hate hate and poor quality and super stale humor.
And the way she visibly enjoyed saying that makes it even funnier. :D OMG I want somebody to show this to the actual dotard and his mail-bride, so we can get their reaction. I reckon they won't find it as amusing as we did. Too brutally true, even for a "couple" with a sense of humor - which I assume they are not.
Nah, +stivaro. This guy has GOTTA explain himself here. How the Hell is this "racist"? They aren't making fun of her accent or her culture (unless gold-digging is a culture now), they're making fun of HER. So he's either gotta explain himself or cut out that Fox News trigger word bullshit.
@Arthur Fervale "Just because she happened to marry the guy that you didn't vote for as president" No, It's because she married a fat old rich guy for his money
It's actually true and was, sadly, true when Obama was president. My daughter and husband got an invite to the White House holiday party and had to search for a menorah (hanukiah). I have a picture she sent of that lonely little corner and it looks just like the parody, minus a couple of references I don't get. Who is the picture of? It went by so fast.
@Arthur Fervale I'm not sure what you mean by this. Obama was scrutinized by the public and media just the same as any other president, the only reason people now look back and claim he got off lightly is because of the intense passion with which people talk about the current president. Plus, when did anyone on this show accuse the family of vicious racism? Certainly the president himself has been called a racist many times, usually legitimately, but generally speaking his family don't tend to make nearly as outlandish claims, and so don't generally get called racists, since there's not a wealth of evidence as to whether they are or not. There were some jokes here about refugees, but that's in direct response to the way Melania specifically reacted to the child internment of refugees a few months back. I think those jokes are intended to be topical more than anything, and remind people of the more questionable of Melania's actions, rather than to baselessly accuse her of vicious racism just because she's associated with the president. It's perfectly possible to have a smart, informed opinion, and for that opinion to result in strong hatred of an individual. Simply having a "strong hatred" isn't grounds to accuse someone of not being smart, I'd argue that the process by which they came to that conclusion, and how well they can back up their emotions, are much more important in determining that. I also completely agree that there is a genuine danger in the monotonous consumption and absorption of media, but although Colbert certainly holds a very clear political view, it's nonetheless a comedy show, and a topical comedy show is going to make fun of whoever happens to be in power.
You're so right: Nothing like racism against central Europeans because the American man supports Nazis. Well done in your support. You keep imagining you're a liberal.
Tbh Colbert's Melania is too smart, funny and hot compared to the real one. Laura's version is likeable while flotus seems pretty dull and expressionless.
Someone give Laura Benanti her own show and/or a really BIG Part in a Blockbuster movie! The woman was very good on Supergirl where she played TWO Kryptonians, Supergirl's Mom and her Aunt. "Merry Christmas, Bitches!" - Pure Comedy Gold.

Arthur Fervale As you've exercised your first amendment right to try & stoke some sort of ire & breed uninformed ill will I doubt you appreciate the irony of your judgment over my first amendment protected enjoyment of well-executed satire. But your efforts have further amused me, so thanks for the extra "gift!"
Arthur Fervale Keep dishing out those warm fuzzies buddy! I'm sure they somehow make you feel superior and are how you try to fill whatever your personal void is.
Arthur Fervale Ok dude. You seem to have used up all of your ability to entertain and quip. May your next batch of vitriol never see the light of day... or may it fuel better retorts. Either way, boy bye.
Arthur Fervale Implying that someone lacks value in the world is far from a different viewpoint. And retort is another, shorter, word for response, though maybe you would have preferred reply to limit a need for nuance or expansive lexicon. Rather than let you being a jerk to a stranger negatively impact my feelings, I laughed at you while I could. You’ve bored me. So you can stop replying so that I can stop getting your alerts.
@Arthur Fervale - And you, Mr. Fervale, should consider developing a sense of humour. "a personality that gives someone the ability to say funny things and see the funny side of things." (Webster's) That you equate Superpal42's appreciation of a fabulously executed parody with hatefulness is at once illogical and vituperative.
She really created the resemblance to 95%. I literally thought it WAS The First Lady. Benanti is a good broadway legit soprano. And this is just en pointe!
I can no longer tell the difference between Laura Benanti and the real Melania. Especially in this video... Edit: Y'all have zero grasp of SARCASM. The character played by Laura is supposed to be an overexaggerated caricature if Melania. So saying that they're completely similar is ironic since it appears that the silly copy is better loved than the original.
Imagine if it was Michelle being made fun of instead Melania, you wouldn't be laughing or wrote this witty comment. You think you're so funny because of the amount of likes you get?
go away Michelle was a Classy, Beautiful, Intelligent, Charming woman. Melania is a former nude model, who married CHUMP so she could get her papers. She’s just an immigrant, & she sold herself. All that plastic surgery that she has had, does nothing as she is an empty headed, empty soulless, joke.
