See 'Melania Trump' Defend Donald Trump's Leaked Tape on 'Colbert'


"If Billy Bush can manipulate Donald Trump, we've got to keep President Trump away from heavy hitters like Mario Lopez," Colbert says


"Melania Trump" appeared on Tuesday's 'Late Show' to blame the leaked tape controversy on the "left wing media, international bankers and Billy Bush."

After Melania Trump gave her first interview in months to defend Donald Trump's behavior on the leaked Access Hollywood tape, actress Laura Benanti parodied her on Tuesday's Late Show. Benanti as Melania blamed the controversy on the "left wing media, international bankers and Billy Bush."

"So let me get this straight: Melania's defense of Donald Trump, the man who wrote The Art of the Deal, is that he got outmaneuvered by a guy who has been deemed by the Today show to be unqualified to watch someone else make a festive fall frittata. If Billy Bush can manipulate Donald Trump, we've got to keep President Trump away from heavy hitters like Mario Lopez." "Yes, it was all Billy Bush's fault. Now I know why they were on a bus, it was easier to throw Billy underneath it," Colbert said in response to Melania's CNN interview.
"Melania" then appeared via satellite to reiterate what she said in the CNN interview. "[Donald] explained it was 'locker room talk.' I did not know this, but when American men gather to sport, they always brag of grabbing women by the Billy Bush," she said.
"Melania" added that she doesn't expect the Access Hollywood tape to impact Trump's voting totals among women. "Women know it's boy talk," "Melania" said. "Bad boys, bad boys, what you gonna do?"

Ivonne Coll as Alba, Gina Rodriquez as Jane, Andrea Navedo as Xo. If I could write this whole recap with emojis, there'd be several varieties of hearts, the running man, the dancing woman, and lots and lots of fires and heart-eyed faces. Those creepy dancing twin girls would also make an appearance. And there'd be a gun. My imaginary emoji recap is appealing because it's incredibly hard to come away from a blockbuster hour of television like "Chapter Forty-Four" and pull together coherent thoughts that aren't just "AHHH!" or "WHY would you get ICE for the DAMN CHAMPAGNE?!" or "OMG FACE OFF MASK!" or "Why isn't all of life just Jane and Rogelio doing that father/daughter dance forever?" But I'll give it a try. Jane the Virgin 's season finale is a narrative fireworks display, a shock-and-awe storytelling spectacular that short-circuits emotional processing centers with blazing confidence. It drops j
