How I Met Your Mother’s Cobie Smulders will now play media pundit Ann Coulter in Ryan Murphy’s Impeachment: American Crime Story. GLOW star Betty Gilpin stepped down from the role due to pandemic-related schedule complications. Back in June, Glipin shared her dismay at never getting to use her long-crafted Coulter impression.
“This is another COVID disappointment. I was supposed to play Ann Coulter in American Crime Story, the Monica Lewisnky story. Because of COVID the schedule didn’t work,” she said on Jimmy Kimmel Live. “The big disappointment was that I had spent a year listening to Ann Coulter audio books in the car to get her voice down.” Poor woman.
Coulter has been sucking the life force out of Americans in political spheres for 30 years now, but her media career started during Bill Clinton’s presidency. She was a loud voice for his impeachment, which was the subject of her first book, 1998’s High Crimes And Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton. The book is based off her time investigating of Paula Jones’s sexual-harassment suit against Clinton.
I didn't see a thread for this, so I thought I'd make one.
