What Happened To Sarah McDaniel On The Late Show With Stephen Colbert?
Sara McDaniel had appeared on The Late Show engaging in a chitchat session, but it ended up awkward after she struggled with a wardrobe malfunction. This was not the first time a guest’s wardrobe drew attention on the show. During the chat, McDaniel constantly pulled her dress up as she tried concealing all that her V-shaped dress revealed. The situation came to a head when Colbert jokingly asked McDaniel to teach him how to take a selfie.
The TV star leaned over his desk towards the model who was perched on the famous blue Late Show couch. As she raised her phone to take a selfie with Stephen Colbert, she abruptly stopped to adjust her dress. In the same vein, Sarah McDaniel appeared to nervously run her fingers through her hair. Colbert made light fun out of the situation as he asked, “Can I get you some duct tape, or a poncho?.” he had said this in reference to how she struggled to keep the upper part of her dress intact.
