So glad they brought Laura Benanti back as Melania Trump. I think seeing her impressions will be the only thing I'll miss when Trump loses the election. VOTE and get out the vote!

That impression literally made me want to vomit they should at least get someone funny to do it … Alec Baldwin Trump impression is good and actually funny that was pure uncut dookie 💩
she makes the real Melania look as appetizing as a can of spam....god damn she's hot but the real Melania does nothing for me... i couldn't lust less. ✌️💕🙏 from Chicago🇺🇸
Laura Benanti really upped her Melania impression with this performance. Anyone who can make Colbert crack up is hilarious. Thank you for your service to your country, Ms. Benanti. giggle
I think she's cracked him up/made him break every time she's done this for years. It took her like 2 years initially to figure out how far she could push things and after that she just killed it every time.
@@brodull1142 Laura could play a Lawyer in an "Ally McBeal" type Law Firm Dramedy". Actually, she could play almost ANY character! She played 2 of Supergirl's Kryptonian relatives on 'SUPERGIRL".
LOL! This is the first time that I've ever seen this lady before, but I love her! She's hilarious in this Melania skit. She was cracking me up! ❤❤❤❤😂😂🤣🤣
If it hadn't been for the moustache malfunction I think she would have made it. It's incredible how she has kept in character doing _this_ impression in the past.
I dunno. I feel like a lot of it is predicated on the fact she is an immigrant, and not on substantive issues. It also kinda comes off as being unnecessarily demeaning and somewhat infantilizes her. to be clear, I'm not a fan of Melania, I just don't find this sort of caricature entertaining.
I could watch Laura's Melania Trump,all day long ,one of the greatest send ups ever. Colbert is one of the greatest straight men ever, please keep up the great laughs.
From ENGLAND omg I have never laughed so much she took Melania off to a te watching her has made my day. Every one should watch this. Fantastic. Vote blue Americans.
@ F J B, have you *_seen_* Melania's pre-Donald 'adult' photo shoots?! Obligatory not-that-there's-anything-wrong-with... But in that context, I don't think it wise to cast aspersions on Laura Benanti from such a glass house.
@_F_J_B_ Really?... 😂😂😂😂😂 None of the general public knows what she really acts like, other than *fawning* over her security guards or Justin Trudeau in ways she never does with Donald.
@@HalleluYAH-b5dSorry you have no sense of humor and offended by the spot on performance by this talented performer. Soon Melania will leave the draft dodging Traitor-in-Chief and Grifter. I hope Melania runs him dry of his money and leaves this cheater and finds a new life for her and Baron.
@@thomasralabate5645 Its not about any performance, its an indirect attack on Trump, because of immaturity of the dems. They all need to try and understand (though it seems an impossibility for logic to rule in any sense) that this is about POLICY, NOT PERSONALITY, this is not a national interview for a new best friend!!!!!!!!!!!
JD loves couches very strongly, that I can tell you. Big, strong men come up to me with tears in their eyes and say "Sir, nobody's ever seen a man who loves couches as strongly as your running mate". And when I'm president again, I'm going to have all the couches in the White House covered in plastic on my first day in office. It's going to happen very, very quickly.
Not since Tina Fey's Sarah Palin has there been such a PERFECT parody of a powerful political woman figure.... FRIKIN HILARIOUS 😂 Great job Stephen and Laura 👍
Laura Benanti seems to just have Stephen's number and can get him to crack up better than almost anybody. She is an absolute gem.
Yes! Whenever she's on I'm watching for Stephen to crack up, because she gets him every time! 😂
@@quietreason8679 I don't think he even tries to keep it together anymore, he just knows it's a fool's errand.

Yes!
Trump will wim,dummy
You misspelled “win.”
No they didn’t. “When” is spelled correctly.
How do?
Laura Benanti has been faultless at her impression for a decade now - it never gets old.
Looks like she has a ton of fun with it, too!
You know the bit is good when Laura Benanti herself starts cracking up.
She's an idiot and if you think spreading lies like this is funny you are too
How she can snap instantly back from the most ridiculous moves
to a weird kind of hovering, perma-pout always cracks me up
she is amazing
THE best running bit performed on The Late Show. EVER. Laura Benanti rules!!
"I am a Trump.
We don't do true."
Whoever wrote this line is a bloody GENIUS.
I thought she said “tramp” not Trump, LOL.

she can do anything while looking hot AF
No.
"Why does she get to have a husband who's a gentlemen?" 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love her. Haaahaaa😂
Laura Benanti is a national treasure.
And Melania luv's her... she say's what she feels.
Just give Laura Benanti another Emmy already. No need to wait!
Yeah, she sure is. So is the guy on Jimmy Kimmel's show who imitates Mike Lindell.
@jazzmazedaze5034 haha, no.
...in Slovenia too (I'd imagine!)
If I didn't love Benanti already, this would push me over the edge. The woman is gorgeous, talented, and has absolutely no shame. God love her.
it's called acting?
Melania's prenuptial agreement doesn't cover things like love, support, affection , life behind the eyes, etc. etc.😒
...but some how I feel like Botox was in there some where.
probably happy endings got written out of the renegotiated prenups too🙂
i hope her will specifies he doesn't get to decide where she's buried
"Life behind the eyes" is too accurate.

She always makes him laugh. I love it.
I'm not American... this country.. Muslim - Latino....soon ... vote for Mr trump..
Laura Benanti, you are a national treasure!!!!!! More please!!!!
She did it. She broke Stephen❤
Ms. Benanti is deserving of the highest Comedy accolade, if not a trump medal of honor. She is priceless.👏💐👏💐👏💐💙💙💙
And she's not even really a comic. She's a straight-up stage actress, who mostly does musicals on Broadway. But she does have a real gift for comedy.

You need to watch her earlier performances at the Late Show. Hilarious.
I don't how many times I'll have to declare this, but I shall always declare: Laura Benanti is a National Treasure!!!
Didn't think we'd be seeing Benanti reprising this role. Not only can she still break Stephen, she even broke _herself_ at the end there.
"I cheer for DA hot dogs and I eat DA sox!" am chicagoan, can confirm that is exactly what we sound like 👍
If it hadn't been for the moustache malfunction I think she would have made it. It's incredible how she has kept in character doing _this_ impression in the past.
She breaks everyone, she is a comedy goddess! This woman is on Carol Burnetts level, Lucile Balls level, Betty Whites level!

Vat is thees feeling? My fayce ees opeened up and says HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!😂💙
I never thought we'd get Benanti back on our screens as Melania. So much happy.

I haven't laughed so much in a long time!! OMGosh.. Mrs. Benanti knocking it out of the park, yet again!
I second that ❤
The ONLY good thing to come out of the entire Trump phenomena is this Melania impression, right here.

Give Laura Benanti an Emmy for this one. She really knows how to squeeze a laugh from a winning bit.
I love how she always keeps hoochie-dancing trying to make Steven laugh.
This was great! She really committed to this bit, especially when ‘Melania’ was throwing a temper tantrum
@@dianecarpenter9839 Laura Benanti has played Melania multiple times on Colbert's show and all of them are worth looking up.
I think she might have ad libbed the some of the couch stuff bc it went wonderfully off the rails and also broke Stephen
I love how Stephen tries to pull himself together not to burst with laughter. This parody is brillant.

Es una burla nada graciosa la tipa.
Thank god we back with these
I see Laura Benanti and I click for a good hearthed laugh. She never disappoint!
in tears laughing right now....thank you Stephen and Laura!

That was REALLY FUNNY!! Laura Benanti is consistently hilarious in these segments!
Her cracking herself up over 'I eat the socks' was magnificent 😂😂😂
I think she was mostly breaking because her mustache kept falling off, but it was still hilarious regardless.

Dont let Trump see this. He would try to switch to this younger version of Melania
