She replied no — sort of: “But I don’t have — like, now I’m carrying on a feud with Kellyanne Conway, just in my head.” It turns out Lange has spent time fleshing out the details of her in-head feuds, and that she sees everything in terms of work. “Your agent calls you, ‘You’ve been offered this part.’ One of the most important women in the government right now. She’s a counsel to the president. She’s a spokesperson. And then you pick up the — you read it, and you think they’ve got to be kidding.”

Marveling at how ridiculous Conway and the nonsense she spouts on the TV news circuit is, Lange continued, “This is, like, are they — you know — here you’ve got a scene where you talk about alternative facts. You’ve got a scene where you, like, you know, imagine that, like, the microwave is turning into a camera. I mean, you go to the inauguration dressed as a nutcracker?’

The Late Show With Stephen Colbert airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. on CBS.
