Colman Domingo went in on first lady Melania Trump while he was guest co-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday, July 21, night.
Domingo, 56, continued Jimmy Kimmel's nightly routine of mocking those attached to the President Donald Trump administration, poking fun at Melania, 56. Midway through his opening monologue, the Oscar-nominated anchor addressed reports of the FLOTUS being considered "crazy" for various reasons.
Jokingly speaking, Domingo said, "Melania is very unpredictable. Which will wear black, beige, or a crazy hat, or an even crazier hat? The possibilities are endless. Apparently, the White House is worried because Melania has a tendency to go rogue, And They have no idea what she'll do next." This came after Melania's World Cup outfit controversy.

In the following statement, Domingo delivered a "message" directly to the Slovenian former model.
"Well, Melania, if you're watching, I don't know what crazy s--t you're cooking up, but I speak for all of us. Live your truth, do it, girl," he said before sharing why he thought everyone was "afraid" of Melania.
"By the way, it makes sense why everyone is afraid of Melania. The last time anyone has encountered a wealthy ageless European who was that cold and emotionless, it was Dracula," he shared.
Melania was also the butt of one of Domingo's jokes on Monday's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, which he also hosted. On the July 20 episode, Domingo delved into the backlash surrounding Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey film.
Since The Odyssey's theatrical release on July 17, and way before, there has been much criticism from the MAGA community about actress Lupita Nyong'o being cast as Helen of Troy in the film.
Also, there was much outrage over there being a lack of Greek actors cast overall for a movie based on the Greek mythology literature attributed to the ancient Greek author Homer.
Domingo addressed the controversial commentary, first explaining it with a news segment from the far-right network One America News. In the clip he shared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! a news correspondent condemned the lack of casting Greek actors.
"I think it's kind of offensive that they couldn't squeeze in one Greek actor or actress to be in the film," the OAN correspondent said in the clip. The OAN contributor then claimed that a "Black woman being cast as Helen of Troy" was equivalent to "casting a Black man to play Abraham Lincoln" or a "white dude to play MLK (Martin Luther King Jr.)"
Domingo immediately corrected the correspondent, explaining that Lupita being cast as Helen of Troy differed because, unlike Lincoln and MLK, who were "real people," the mythical character "Helen of Troy is as real as Harry Potter."
Later, he quipped, "to anyone upset by diversity in The Odyssey. If you want to see a film with a cast of all white people who are cursed by the Gods, The Melania movie is currently streaming."
