“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert was puzzled by Melania Trump’s decision to return to the spotlight this week with an unexpected video defending her decades-old nude photos.
“Why do I stand proudly behind my nude modeling work?” the wife of Donald Trump asked in the video promoting her upcoming memoir.

Colbert said the nation is facing a “more pressing question” with the approach of the election, then returned to the video in which Melania Trump states: “The more pressing question is why has the media chosen to scrutinize my celebration of the human form in a fashion photo shoot?”
