Christine Baranski becomes body double to Laura Benanti’s Melania Trump in Stephen Colbert bit

Christine Baranski can do anything: deliver Tony-winning performances, give us one of the best shows on television, be in two Mamma Mia movie musicals and still be a national treasure, and play a fake body double for Laura Benanti‘s fake Melania Trump.

Baranski surprised The Late Show during Friday’s episode as Benanti reprised her bit of First Lady to address certain rumors. Apparently, there is a theory that someone stands in for Trump for various occasions. Of course, she denied that she used a double, but then off went Benanti’s Trump and in came Baranski’s Trump.

“Why would anyone impersonate Melania Trump, especially after someone else really made that role her own?” Baranski said. “It would take some kind of two-time Tony award-winning actor to pay that off.” The actress then razzle dazzled the audience by showing off her own two Tony awards.

A second surprise came when Baranski’s Trump exited the frame and comedian Brian Stack, also playing Trump, came in.

“What was your question? Oh, yes. I love Donald Trump, just as sure as I’m Donald Trump,” Stack joked.

The Walking Dead finale recap: A flicker of hope predicts big things ahead

The storm is here. The Kingdom is barren as snow begins to fall on the once thriving settlement. The fair is over, but the promised trade didn’t bring what many hoped. Their pipes still burst, the rot still spread, and this home, this beacon for so many who sought shelter from the cold apocalyptic wasteland, became untenable. So now, the King and Queen, still carrying the grief of losing their son, must now carry their people to Hilltop as a harsh blizzard descends upon them and the Whisperers still lurk in their periphery. But, once the storm passes and their friends on the hill open up their gates, it all seems like a blip on the timeline. We’re left with both hope and a promise of much bigger things to come. In the final moments before the credits roll, that radio Eugene, Rosita, and Gabriel have been tinkering with since the time jump, their initial mission that first put everyone on the warpath with the Whisperers, finally fulfilled its purpose. When the blizzard came, the power
