00:00It's been one year since Laura Benanti first debuted her Melania Trump impression
00:11on CBS's The Late Show, following Melania's plagiarized speech at the Republican National
00:16Convention.
00:17My fellow Americans.
00:20Now, back on the show as herself Monday night, Benanti told the story of her first
00:26working on the impression last year while sitting next to a man on a train from Delaware
00:30to New York.
00:31And then, like, saying out loud, like, my husband, and he was like, this woman is insane.
00:38Clearly it worked, as Benanti's been on the show as Melania a few times now.
00:42So how's she feeling after a year of first lady impressions?
00:45I feel like basically now we are all Melania Trump.
00:48She continued, saying that we're all reluctantly married to Donald Trump and that she does
00:53have empathy for the first lady, but at the same time is like, well, you also chose that,
00:57which prompted Colbert to remind her that America did as well.
01:01So guys, what's your take on Benanti's take on FLOTUS?
01:04Are we all Melania Trump?
01:05Let me know in the comments.
