During a Tuesday appearance on _The View_ alongside her attorney, the adult film star revealed an artist’s rendering of the man who she says menaced her and her young daughter in a Las Vegas parking lot in 2011\. As for President Donald Trump, he called the sketch a “[total con job](http://time.com/5244614/donald-trump-mocks-stormy-daniels-sktch-con-job/ p).” Colbert has now shared his take on the matter. Instead of choosing just one celebrity look-alike for the culprit, _The Late Show_ host theorized that the offender could be a combination of three different stars. “There he is, the man who threatened her—the love child of Willem Dafoe, Tom Brady and Bon Jovi,” Colbert declared. “And if being a goon doesn’t work out, he could become a model for Abercrombie & Fitch.” Watch the full clip below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5244730/stephen-colbert-stormy-daniels-sketch/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5244730/stephen-colbert-stormy-daniels-sketch/"},"headline":"Stephen Colbert Has an Elaborate Theory of His Own About the Stormy Daniels Perpetrator Sketch","datePublished":"2018-04-18T15:04:34.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:52:16.398Z","description":"The resemblance is uncanny","url":"https://time.com/5244730/stephen-colbert-stormy-daniels-sketch/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","stephen colbert","TV","the late show","Late Night Television","the late show with stephen colbert"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte7d2e2c30add8bd8/69892defab6d770ad46b2672/screen-shot-2018-04-18-at-10-42-31-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte7d2e2c30add8bd8/69892defab6d770ad46b2672/screen-shot-2018-04-18-at-10-42-31-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Stephen-Colbert-Stormy-Daniels-Sketch","caption":"","creditText":"CBS","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5244730/stephen-colbert-stormy-daniels-sketch/","name":"Stephen Colbert Has an Elaborate Theory of His Own About the Stormy Daniels Perpetrator Sketch"}}]}] ```
