It seems to me she prefers the live stage above all else. That, and being a mother. She's currently in the revival of My Fair Lady at Lincoln center as Elisa Doolittle.
m m, that guy doesn't care about them at all. I don't where you are getting your information but is a wild lie. He doesn't care about any of the people you just mentioned.
She's pretty ignorant if she thinks a stranger watching her zoom in on a Melania speech considered her "psycho" and wasn't actually thinking "how do I bang this broad?".
Well, she does need to make her story have a focus. She can't say: So I was watching Melania on the phone and practicing my impression and this gentleman stared at me because he wants to have sex with me. The story has lost its focus, is it about her practicing as Melania or is it about a creepy man on the train?
I think people also forget Melania also wanted to see Obama's birth certificate and advocated for the Birther movement. She isn't a damsel in the White House, but a conscious and avid actor.
That is a very important point, SultanMenzuma. Melania is where she wants to be. Make no mistake about it. I will never understand those who ever believed that the state of Hawaii certifies births that don't happen in their state. It is preposterous.
lol state of hawaii doesn't certify fake birth certificates. Professional document forging experts proved obamas birth certificate to be a fake...they even PROVED the original document was fromf a hawaiin woman and badly photoahopped......total fraud, lol and you still are in love with Obama...so sad....
Same! Have you seen those videos she does annually every Tony season for Theatermania funnily and briefly describing the season's plays and musicals? She's naturally so hilarious and charming. She'd be great as a podcast host.
People like LAURA opened a whole new world of Joy that is known as Broadway. Not only are Broadway actors multi talented but they are all down to earth and team players as well. She’s coming into her own now with parts in “Younger” and “The Bad Witch” (the “Gossip Girl” re-boot.)
I've tried to have sympathy. But, I cannot escape the question, "What kind of woman would marry Donald Trump?" He used to be my go to guy for, "If Donald Trump were the last man on earth, I would not marry him." And, I'm not a lesbian. Though, if it came down to it & he were the only male alternative, I would become lesbian faster than he can tell a lie.
So, have you seen Melania's soft-core girl-on-girl photos from the 90s? The NY Post ran some of them, and they're still online (on legitimate sites, not porn sites). She made her choice. She picked a greencard, a (heavily discounted) diamond ring, a marriage to Trump (complete with ironclad pre-nup), an unhappy looking child, and (now) a front-row seat to the car-crash that is this disaster of an administration.
interesting, I'm a lesbian and always thought I could do it with bill clinton and maybe even obama. They wore their power with dignity even through a couple of issues. Now we have 8.3 lies per day via twitter no less and god knows even the hookers had a tough time stomaching trump.
And when she sings! So great. And she's also a quick-witted comedienne and just an all around good actress. No wonder she's been so popular for some time, with the people who knew of her. I actually liked her most recent tv series, GO ON.
Tim Letsom super model? No, she was a model... That’s literally the extent of her talent. Look up Laura’s talents and accomplishments. That’s in addition to her looks.
Wow, she's brilliantly gorgeous! When she first came out, I couldn't even recognize her as the actress that plays Melania, but now, I don't know if I could ever look at her and not see Melania! LOL
Louis Dore-Savard Hardly. Barely 1/5 of America voted for Hillary. The rest either voted for Trump or not caring enough, she you actually did choose him.
It is now December of 2019, and we haven't seen "Melania" in a long time! Bring her back, please! She was great! Benanti as Melania. Tina Fey as Sarah Palin. Both brilliant!
I like her in She Loves Me. I like her because she does look like an ordinary person. Without those celebrity air. Straight as arrow. She is more attractive than Trump's 3rd because she is so natural, full of life and talented.
Many do "The Donald Impressions." There is no equal to the one and only Laura Benanti when it comes to Melania. I bet the former first lady is a closeted fan of her work.
*She is so charismatic. She deserved to have a show, tv series maybe, why dont you create a show about the Trumps, the same way Netflix did for the president of Mexico.*
Laura Benanti is so great and talented. I am sad that she doesn't get to do the "Supergirl" TV series anymore because she was so good playing "Kara Zor-El's" mother.
I started binge-watching Supergirl on Netflix and had one of those "where have I seen this actor?" moments. Then it hit me, "Oh, it's Melania Trump.... I mean Laura Benanti!"
I feel like this wonderful comedian, due to how good of an actor she is and how likeable she is, is giving Melania a good rep that she doesnt deserve. We dont know that Melania is really relunctant. We know that she chose this life and is benefiting from it and doing nothing.
This woman is sooooo talented and she deserves more recognition. put her in more movies and tv series PLEASE.
Anime Girl oh yes 👍
Wait isn’t she in supergirl I think she is supergirl’s aunt
It seems to me she prefers the live stage above all else. That, and being a mother. She's currently in the revival of My Fair Lady at Lincoln center as Elisa Doolittle.
She's going to be in a movie with Stanley Tucci
She doesn’t need it!! She’s a broadway star!!
For the life of me i can't understand why SNL hasn't gotten her together with Alec Baldwin on anything!!!!
Jasksks SNL HAVE THER MELANIE :) AND CASALYIS dose better job..
I hadn't thought of that. Great idea! You oughta write them a letter.
Jaskaka, a performance contract with Colbert is probably the reason why.
I think it might be because of intellectual property laws...SNL is N.B.C. and she is part of a show on C.B.S.
m m, that guy doesn't care about them at all. I don't where you are getting your information but is a wild lie. He doesn't care about any of the people you just mentioned.
That 'smoulder' is really creepy... it's perfect!
It was very impressive- she went from not really looking like her, to looking VERY like her.
@@scattygirl1 Yes indeed
Laura is what you get when you mix Melania and a soul.
She's pretty ignorant if she thinks a stranger watching her zoom in on a Melania speech considered her "psycho" and wasn't actually thinking "how do I bang this broad?".
Well, she does need to make her story have a focus.
She can't say: So I was watching Melania on the phone and practicing my impression and this gentleman stared at me because he wants to have sex with me.
The story has lost its focus, is it about her practicing as Melania or is it about a creepy man on the train?
Haha, great comment
And remove all the plastic stuff. Still nope!
...not to mention a sense of humor.
She's amazing. Moar of her impersonation, please.
Everybody wants to see a Laura Benanti / Alec Baldwin parody of the Presidential couple. Why hasn't it happened yet?
Janet Devereaux Shut up, Blanche.
I'm sorry, but Anthony Atamanuik is way better than Alec Baldwin.
Oh you are talking about the President's Show guy? Oh yeah, he is awesome!
OdonataKraft Must be cause Laura as CBS and Alec is NBC
@@SmellsLikeBrass EXACTLY!!! Benati and Atamanuik are the quintessential tRump couple
She's like everything we want the first lady Melania to be, funny, positive and has a caring family
piplupcola I want Stephen to produce a movie for Showtime starring Laura as the First Lady
And most importantly, she's not married to Trump!
and she's not a nude model/mistress\golddigger....
forgot Birthier also
well michelle obama is long gone !!
What a beautiful & multi- talented Woman !!!
Laura Benanti is such a gem💛
What a comedic & vivaciously charismatic woman - LOVE HER!
And she is actually (authentically) witty!
I did agree with her on America being reluctantly married to trump. That was genius.
My gosh I love her laugh so much!
love her soo much
She is a delightful person to watch, and not just because she is beautiful. She doesn't try too hard, her sweetness comes naturally to her.
Raphanne agreed😊
I think people also forget Melania also wanted to see Obama's birth certificate and advocated for the Birther movement. She isn't a damsel in the White House, but a conscious and avid actor.
SultanMenzuma I know right? She's wealthy without Trump and this isn't the middle ages, she's not "reluctantly married".
That is a very important point, SultanMenzuma. Melania is where she wants to be. Make no mistake about it.
I will never understand those who ever believed that the state of Hawaii certifies births that don't happen in their state. It is preposterous.
It's on TH-cam. She was on Joy Behar's show. She is a hot damn mess too.
Let's face it, Melania's a subordinate of Daddy Trump. He's coached the shit out of her---how to be, how to act, what to say, what not to, etc.
lol state of hawaii doesn't certify fake birth certificates. Professional document forging experts proved obamas birth certificate to be a fake...they even PROVED the original document was fromf a hawaiin woman and badly photoahopped......total fraud, lol and you still are in love with Obama...so sad....
Regardless of who looks more beautiful, Laura looks much happier than Melania!
Melania looks like a mannequin...
Whodathunk
Laura is more beautiful
Laura by a mile.
What an intensely and instantly lovable person.
"What is it Star and Bucks? I like both these things"
Sam I Am OMG this is killing me
Damn, she is such a quick-wit. Instant crush.
I want Laura to do a podcast on musical theatre so badly. She's so naturally funny. Anyone else?
Same! Have you seen those videos she does annually every Tony season for Theatermania funnily and briefly describing the season's plays and musicals? She's naturally so hilarious and charming. She'd be great as a podcast host.
People like LAURA opened a whole new world of Joy that is known as Broadway. Not only are Broadway actors multi talented but they are all down to earth and team players as well. She’s coming into her own now with parts in “Younger” and “The Bad Witch” (the “Gossip Girl” re-boot.)
Laura Benanti has a rockin' high IQ.
When Laura made the comment like Melania we're all reluctantly married to Trump. I thought oh crap she's right!
+Ronnie Carlson
I'm Dutch, I'm safe.
more attractive than Melania in my humble opinion
By a wide margin.
The ability to speak helps a lot... Seriously a radiant, beautiful person.
Janet Devereaux no, b.c. Melania is gross. She is a birther, and an immigrant who hates immigrants.
Janet Devereaux remember the character that Samuel L. Jackson played in Django Unchained? That's exactly who Melania is irl.
Janet Devereaux git a life
She is so cool and fun. Great sense of humour, and the accent and smoulder is spot on ! Well done
The switch from normal to smolder is amazing, it's like 2017s blue steele. Amazing
I fell in love
She even gets the cold dead eyes. Then boom her whole face lights up.
I've tried to have sympathy. But, I cannot escape the question, "What kind of woman would marry Donald Trump?" He used to be my go to guy for, "If Donald Trump were the last man on earth, I would not marry him." And, I'm not a lesbian.

She married the billions i think. Nothing to see with him
interesting, I'm a lesbian and always thought I could do it with bill clinton and maybe even obama. They wore their power with dignity even through a couple of issues. Now we have 8.3 lies per day via twitter no less and god knows even the hookers had a tough time stomaching trump.
At that speed, you would spontaneously combust before arriving.
Kristiana: Agree with you completely! Donald was and always be an A-1 creep. Yuk!
She is brillant! I love it so much when she comes on the show
Her energy is infectious
I think I speak for most of us when I say, "I want a divorce!"
I love everything about her ... mostly her pleasant personality, perspective on life, and profound talent.
What a stunning woman😍
Wow, just like Melania, but with brains!
And spontsinously kind. Not a phony.
Love Benanti - she outclassed Melanie by a mile.
miles and miles and miles..
That shudder she does at 0:36 that makes me throw back my head and laugh.
She is smoookin' hot!
Big Zee honestly. she's a knockout.
Anybody else notice that red blush on Stephen's face after he kissed her cheek? Methinks he thinks so, too.
He checked out her bum too :o
And when she sings! So great. And she's also a quick-witted comedienne and just an all around good actress. No wonder she's been so popular for some time, with the people who knew of her. I actually liked her most recent tv series, GO ON.
Big Zee inn
She is so funny and smart and talented!!! And genuine!
3:46 that laugh makes my heart melt. Smart, funny, so sexy... what a woman.
hotter than Melania
To be fair, she's also 10 years younger than Melania. Laura Benanti just turned 38 this month; Melania turned 47 in April.
She is pretty. Melanie looks like a transvestite.
Undateable for you too 😂
Tim Letsom super model? No, she was a model... That’s literally the extent of her talent. Look up Laura’s talents and accomplishments. That’s in addition to her looks.
You think!
Its always fun watching these two together!
she's amazing 😊😊
Wow, she's brilliantly gorgeous! When she first came out, I couldn't even recognize her as the actress that plays Melania, but now, I don't know if I could ever look at her and not see Melania! LOL
Holy shit, I think Stephen's in love.
Watch Nicki Minaj episode then
The way that Stephen speaks about his wife is so crazy in love
Nah but he couldnt stand up for an hour without moving the desk.
That cackle was glorious.
Laura Benanti is absolutely gorgeous. Inside and out.
Need more Laura in my life. We don't see enough of her beauty or talent!
Melania was there by choice. Half of us wasn't.
More than that.
Louis Dore-Savard Hardly. Barely 1/5 of America voted for Hillary. The rest either voted for Trump or not caring enough, she you actually did choose him.
Morgan Ngo Yeah, but even fewer people voted for Trump than for Clinton.
Wow. Grammar is a concept some of you should study.
Stephen: "Melania is a lovely person". No, she's not. A lovely person wouldn't have married DT.
Lovely person referred to physical appearance i think
@@royaneekhalil6488 Exactly. He wanted to let her know it wasn't an insult.
That was a great interview. She's so funny!
Stephen loves her impression so much. What does he mouth after she does it at 4:00? "Marvelous"? You can tell that he's beyond impressed. :D
It is now December of 2019, and we haven't seen "Melania" in a long time! Bring her back, please! She was great!
Benanti as Melania. Tina Fey as Sarah Palin. Both brilliant!
I couldn't stop cracking up at the smolder.
I bet if you switched out Melania with her Trump wouldn't notice!
HT200 she should try
I think he would be happy that melania can do voices and sing him lullabies then... 😂
No. He would notice. This one actually speaks.
I like her in She Loves Me. I like her because she does look like an ordinary person. Without those celebrity air. Straight as arrow. She is more attractive than Trump's 3rd because she is so natural, full of life and talented.
Many do "The Donald Impressions." There is no equal to the one and only Laura Benanti when it comes to Melania. I bet the former first lady is a closeted fan of her work.
"We're all reluctantly married to Donald Trump."
2nd time I heard you say it... and it never fails to amuse me xP
It is now December of 2019, and we haven't seen "Melania" in a long time! Bring her back, please! She was great!
Melania might be a 7/10 on a good day
Laura is a solid 10/10
What a lovely interview!
*She is so charismatic. She deserved to have a show, tv series maybe, why dont you create a show about the Trumps, the same way Netflix did for the president of Mexico.*
Aaron Mijail Herrera Castro what about a Showtime movie?
Austin Pearce *I think a Showtime movie will be a serious one, and The idea I was proposing was a comedy*
It can be a comedy. At least on Showtime there are no censors.
Austin Pearce *My idea it's like NETFLIX "INGOBERNABLE" series, they mock about Mexico's President and his wife*
@@austinpearce5442 trump only ran bc he expected to lose. And was going to use the experience as another reality show
It’s 2024, she is still doing it and still completely breaks up Stephen.
What a great gig!
She is so funny and all around amazing!
She’s amazing. Her singing voice is incredible, and now she has a second career in comedy.
It took until inauguration day for me to hear her speak without impersonating Melania
She is very funny in her improv responses! I got a good feeling from watching this =)
BEAUTIFUL, INTELLIGENT, TALENTED, AND FUNNY. LOVE THIS WOMAN.
Laura Benanti is so great and talented. I am sad that she doesn't get to do the "Supergirl" TV series anymore because she was so good playing "Kara Zor-El's" mother.
Absolutely perfect imitation. Nobody does it better.
Wow such an amazing talent.
Great lady and talent!
"I feel like Ameica is Melania." ahahahahahah
Laura Benanti is an absolute gem.
On a scale of 1 to 10 in both beauty and talent. Laura is somewhere around 15 to 20.
Holy shit. It's just Laura. Pure Laura. But then in a snap, she can turn into Melania and be on point. Damn... What a great artist.
Laura has it all! Love her as Melania! so hilarious.
I started binge-watching Supergirl on Netflix and had one of those "where have I seen this actor?" moments. Then it hit me, "Oh, it's Melania Trump.... I mean Laura Benanti!"
Mrs. Benanti is so FUN !! Wonderful woman !
Laura is amazing!!! I love her. 💕
I haven't seen anyone doing a better Melania Trump impression.
Also, congratulations on the birth of your child.
That's true beauty
❤ Laura
Such a delight.
I feel like this wonderful comedian, due to how good of an actor she is and how likeable she is, is giving Melania a good rep that she doesnt deserve. We dont know that Melania is really relunctant. We know that she chose this life and is benefiting from it and doing nothing.
What a lovely and talented lady Laura is.
Shout out! I'm from Wilmington DE!
Great personality!
We love you 😍 Laura
She's talented. They need to do more of the Melania impressions on the late show.
My queen! 😍
It was at 1:41 I realized I loved these two more than anything in the world.
Melania always has that constipated RBF look. 😂
Hiaruga I tried to swipe your hairlash looking profile pic off my phone until I realized it was a photo
She is a smart and beautiful lady!:) What a talent!!:)
Amazing you are the best keep it up ❤️💙🌹🌷🌷🌹🌹
I just love Laura! ❤️❤️
Another way we are all like like Melania is that all of us are being screwed by Trump.
Gorgeous ,intelligent ,class , lady
Happy belated birthday to your grandma 👵
Star and box I like them both👍
You know LB's a trained actress when she can just totally change her physicality and accent in a split second without any hesitation!
What a fun guest!
she is brilliant! Thanks for the laughs!
um. Stephen Colbert is BLUSHING and CRUSHING.
Wow, a truly nice person.
