>> Stephen: PLEASE SAY HELLO TO "THE LATE SHOW" BAND.
THIS VERY EVENING, MY FRIENDS, THIS VERY EVENING WE HAVE TWO
GOLDEN THROATED PERFORMANCE VIRGO PERFORMERS OUT HERE.
THE ONE, THE ONLY MR. JOSH GROBAN.
HE IS ON BROADWAY IN "SWEENEY TODD."
SHIRLEY RALPH IS OUT HERE FROM "ABBOTT ELEMENTARY."
SHE SANGHA HER AND
ME WE'VE HEARD VERY LITTLE FROM FORMER FIRST LADY MELANIA BUT
LATELY HER NAME HAS BEEN BACK IN THE NEWS.
THOUGH MOSTLY JUST HER NAME. BECAUSE SHE WAS NOTABLY ABSENT
FROM BOTH HER HUSBAND'S ARRAIGNMENT IN NEW YORK
AS WELL AS FROM HIS SPEECH THAT NIGHT AT MAR-A-LAGO.
AND REPORTS SAY THAT MELANIA HAS BEEN SO RELUCTANT TO RE-ENTER
PUBLIC LIFE THAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT HAD TO BEG HER
TO BE SEEN IN PUBLIC WITH HIM. YOU KNOW IT'S SERIOUS.
USUALLY HE ONLY BEGS FOR 11,000 MORE VOTES IN GEORGIA.
BUT, ON EASTER SUNDAY, SHE DID FINALLY MAKE AN APPEARANCE
WITH THE EX-PRESIDENT, HAVING A VERY PUBLIC BRUNCH
WITH HIM AT MAR-A-LAGO. IT'S AN EASTER MIRACLE!
THE MARRIAGE HAS RISEN, OR THE CHECK HAS CLEARED.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THEIR TABLE WAS ROPED OFF.
BUT IT'S UNCLEAR IF THAT WAS TO KEEP PEOPLE AWAY OR
TO PREVENT HER FROM FLEEING. AND NOW THERE ARE CONFLICTING
REPORTS OUT THERE ABOUT HOW SUPPORTIVE MELANIA INTENDS TO BE
TOWARD HER HUSBAND DURING HIS LEGAL FIGHTS
AND RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN. ONE INSIDER CLAIMS, "MELANIA IS
NOT NOW OR HASN'T RECENTLY TAKEN PART IN HER HUSBAND'S POLITICAL
EVENTS. I'S NOT COMFORTABLE FOR HER."
MEANWHILE, ANOTHER SOURCE SAYS "THEY HAD A MAJOR TALK
AND SHE HAS AGREED TO BE ON BOARD."
IT SEEMS CONTRADICTORY, UNLESS THEY MEANT "ON BOARD" A PLANE
BACK TO SLOVENIA. SO HERE'S THE THING,
WILL MELANIA BE STANDING BY HER HUSBAND?
AND WILL SHE START APPEARING IN PUBLIC AGAIN?
HERE TO TELL US, IN PUBLIC -- LIVE FROM MAR-A-LAGO --
IS THE FORMER FIRST LADY! GREAT TO SEE YOU
AGAIN, MADAM FIRST LADY. >> I HAVE NEVER "BE BEST"
BETTER, STEPHEN. YOU CAN SEE HOW HAPPY I AM
FROM THE SMILE ON MY FACE. >> Stephen: OKAY.
SO YOU'VE BEEN ENJOYING LIFE OUTSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE?
>> ABSOLUTELY, IT IS SO GOOD TO GET AWAY FROM WASHINGTON
AND GET BACK TO NORMAL LIFE: SPENDING TIME WITH MY FAMILY,
ENJOYING ROPED-OFF BRUNCHES AT MY LIVE-IN GOLF PRISON
AND DISPOSING OF TOP SECRET DOCUMENTS.
>> Stephen: THAT LOOKS... LOOKS FIBROUS.
>> YOU CAN REALLY TASTE THE NATIONAL SECURITY.
>> Stephen: NOW, MADAM FIRST LADY, I KNOW THE TOPIC
MAY BE JUST A LITTLE SENSITIVE, BUT I HAVE TO ASK YOU
ABOUT YOUR HUSBAND'S ARREST. >> OH, STEPHEN, I JUST HATE
HEARING THAT WORD. >> Stephen: ARREST?
>> NO. "HUSBAND."
[GAGS] >> Stephen: OKAY, ALL RIGHT,
>> [GAGS] >> Stephen: TO THAT POINT,
SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT YOU NOT APPEARING IN NEW YORK
DURING YOUR HUSBAND'S ARRAIGNMENT IS A SIGN THAT YOU
DON'T SUPPORT HIM IN HIS LEGAL FIGHT.
>> LIES, STEPHEN! WHY WOULD I WANT TO BE AROUND
ALL THOSE GLAMOROUS NEW YORKERS WHEN I CAN BE DOWN HERE WATCHING
RETIRED ORTHODONTISTS PLAY PICKLEBALL?
>> Stephen: OKAY. BUT THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU ATTEND
THE EVENT HE HAD RIGHT THERE AT MAR-A-LAGO?
>> I WAS THERE, STEPHEN! BUT NOBODY SAW ME
BECAUSE, DURING HIS SPEECH, I HAPPENED TO BE
IN THE BATHROOM. >> Stephen: YOU WERE USING
THE BATHROOM FOR THE ENTIRETY OF HIS THIRTY MINUTE SPEECH?
>> WHAT? IF HE CAN SPEND HALF AN HOUR
SPEWING CRAP, THEN SO CAN I. UP TOP!
>> Stephen: WOW. MOVING ON.
THIS CASE MUST BE DIFFICULT FOR YOU, MADAM FIRST LADY,
SINCE IT INVOLVES YOUR HUSBAND'S AFFAIR
WITH STORMY DANIELS. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT HER?
>> HONESTLY, I FEEL BAD FOR THAT WOMAN:
STRUMMY DANUBE. I KNOW WHAT SHE'S BEEN THROUGH.
WORST 90 SECONDS OF YOUR LIFE. >> Stephen: BUT STILL, HAVING
YOUR HUSBAND GET ARRESTED MUST HAVE BEEN PRETTY STRESSFUL
FOR YOU. >> SO STRESSFUL!
TO STAY CALM, I HAVE HAD TO PRACTICE MINDFUL BREATHING
EXERCISES. INHALE.
EXHALE. [NOISEMAKER TRUMPETING]
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] >> Stephen: MADAME FIRST LADY,
READING BETWEEN READING BETWEEN THE LINES HERE,
I GET THE IMPRESSION THAT YOU ARE NOT SUPPORTING YOUR HUSBAND
THROUGH HIS LEGAL ISSUES AND RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN.
>> WHAAAT? NO.
STEPHEN! NO.
WHAAAT? AND FURTHERMORE,
WHAAT? NO!
>> Stephen: SO WE CAN EXPECT TO SEE YOU OUT CAMPAIGNING
FOR HIM DURING THIS ELECTION CYCLE?
>> OH, ABSOLUTELY! WE WILL BE GOING TO ALL THE
BATTLEGROUND STATES. WHEN HE GOES TO IOWA,
I GO TO NEW HAMPSHIRE. WHEN HE GOES TO NEW
HAMPSHIRE, I GO TO PENNSYLVANIA. >> Stephen: AND IF HE GOES TO
JAIL? >> I GO TO VEGAS, BABY!
COME ON, MAMA NEEDS A NEW PAIR OF STILETTOS!
[NOISEMAKER HONKS] >> Stephen: THE FORMER FIRST
LADY, EVERYBODY! WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK
WITH JOSH GROBAN.
