Stephen Colbert fans in hysterics as he trolls Melania

Stephen Colbert poked enjoyable at the First Lady during last night time’s episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

The host carried out a parody interview that includes Lauren Benanti as Melania Trump, which included some jokes about the Kennedy Opera House, being Eric Trump’s stepmom, and her husband’s health points.

The comic has been an open critic of the president, who relished CBS’s choice to end The Late Show franchise in July. The present will end after a decade, with its final episode airing in May 2026. Many speculated that the cancellation was influenced by the president after Stephen accused the network of giving Trump a “big fat bribe” in change for FCC approval of the merger between Paramount Global and Skydance Media.

During Monday night time’s episode, Lauren got here out dressed as pretend Melania Trump for an interview with Stephen.

The host requested the fake First Lady about her experience during her husband’s second time period, ensuring to take purpose at the president’s manhood.

During the bit, Stephen requested, “Are you getting more comfortable with all the attention in your husband’s second term?” and requested how she felt about Congress proposing that the Kennedy Center Opera House be named after her.

“Oh, it is such an honor. I cannot wait to change my name to Melania Kennedy,” the pretend Melania responded. Stephen performed alongside, correcting her, “The opera house would have your name.” She answered, “Oh, that works too, because I can do this — ” before performing a dramatic operatic vocal run.

“Wow. Holy cow, I did not realize you were a trained opera singer,” the host responded. “Oh no, that’s just the sound I make when Eric calls me ‘Mommy,'” she joked, repeating the vocal run with a disgusted look on her face.

The bit continued, with Stephen saying, “Now, ma’am, your husband was also absent from view for a period this summer, possibly due to health issues. And I understand that he’s been diagnosed with something called chronic venous insufficiency.”

“Oh, sadly, it’s true. He has a very small venous,” not-Melania quipped.

The cancellation of The Late Show was announced just days after the longtime late night time host criticized a $16 million settlement Donald Trump obtained over the enhancing of a 2024 interview with Kamala Harris, which Stephen referred to on the air as a “big, fat bribe.”

He steered the settlement was a part of the network’s try and grease the president’s wheels about the merger between Paramount Global and Skydance Media, which required federal approval.

After the cancellation was made public, Trump launched an announcement on Truth Social. “Everybody is saying that I was solely responsible for the firing of Stephen Colbert from CBS, ‘Late Night,'” he wrote.

“That is not true! The reason he was fired was a pure lack of TALENT, and the fact that this deficiency was costing CBS $50 Million Dollars a year in losses — And it was only going to get WORSE!”

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert episodes air weekdays at 11:35 PM EST on CBS and can be found to stream on Paramount+ the next day.
