“The new Melania documentary hits theaters on Friday (30),” the comedian began, as the audience booed.
“Oh no, no, it sounds fantastic. It’s a real glimpse behind the curtain of a woman choosing curtains,” he joked.
The show aired a clip from Melania Trump’s interview on Fox & Friends, in which she talked about promoting the film and explained that the documentary will focus on her “philanthropy, family” and the preparation of the East Wing of the White House.
“Madam First Lady, I have terrible news for you. Let’s just say the East Wing is not… the best. Or maybe it’s not even there anymore,” Stephen Colbert warned.
The host spoke about the amounts Amazon invested in the film’s production, stating that the company “bribed an absurd sum of $40 million” to secure the film deal.
In addition, the studio also invested “an additional $35 million” in marketing, promotion, and distribution.
He also took the opportunity to mock the lack of people in movie theaters.
“And estimates say this $75 million film will make only $1 or $2 million in its opening weekend,” he said while showing screenshots of empty theaters.
