Laura Benanti Thinks 'We Are All Melania Trump'

[@frannylicuous5650]

For the life of me i can't understand why SNL hasn't gotten her together with Alec Baldwin on anything!!!!

[@aavlijaner]

Jasksks SNL HAVE THER MELANIE :) AND CASALYIS dose better job..

[@ascent8487]

I hadn't thought of that. Great idea! You oughta write them a letter.

[@billybobkumar9231]

Jaskaka, a performance contract with Colbert is probably the reason why.

[@pegasus3219]

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.

[@ascent8487]

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.

[@nopenotes]

This woman is sooooo talented and she deserves more recognition. put her in more movies and tv series PLEASE.

[@minervaloves]

Anime Girl oh yes 👍

[@thecircus1464]

Wait isn’t she in supergirl I think she is supergirl’s aunt

[@kendane2001]

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.

[@TamannaDas]

She's going to be in a movie with Stanley Tucci

[@mayatanakaallwardt]

She doesn’t need it!! She’s a broadway star!!

[@HoofHearted2DAY]

What a comedic & vivaciously charismatic woman - LOVE HER!

[@Raphanne]

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.

[@niamerced9573]

Raphanne agreed😊

[@ArcusLibri]

Laura Benanti is such a gem💛

[@townsville69]

Laura is what you get when you mix Melania and a soul.

[@nahor88]

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?".

[@da96103]

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?

[@mariasoto8600]

Haha, great comment

[@abbesatty9498]

And remove all the plastic stuff. Still nope!

[@LucyNBestest]

...not to mention a sense of humor.

[@micheletwilkinson-penningt6940]

And she is actually (authentically) witty! I did agree with her on America being reluctantly married to trump. That was genius.

[@RullyisJRM]

She's amazing. Moar of her impersonation, please.

[@piplupcola]

She's like everything we want the first lady Melania to be, funny, positive and has a caring family

[@austinpearce5442]

[@peterwc4159]

And most importantly, she's not married to Trump!

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 by a mile.

[@spideyplaysminecraft]

My gosh I love her laugh so much!

[@SultanMenzuma]

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.

[@vulpixelful]

SultanMenzuma I know right? She's wealthy without Trump and this isn't the middle ages, she's not "reluctantly married".

[@jt5452ohio]

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.

[@jennapitts8373]

It's on KZbin. She was on Joy Behar's show. She is a hot damn mess too.

[@bixbybixby]

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.

[@AckzaTV]

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....

By a wide margin.

Janet Devereaux no, b.c. Melania is gross. She is a birther, and an immigrant who hates immigrants.

[@themripley]

I want Laura to do a podcast on musical theatre so badly. She's so naturally funny. Anyone else?

[@TamannaDas]

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.

[@Mil-w6d]

She is so cool and fun. Great sense of humour, and the accent and smoulder is spot on ! Well done

[@kristianast.vincent928]

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.

[@sparklemotion1018]

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.

[@mariaguerrilla8300]

She married the billions i think. Nothing to see with him

[@Acharmedlife]

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.

[@judithgockel1001]

At that speed, you would spontaneously combust before arriving.
