The How I Met Your Mother alum has been cast as the outspoken conservative media pundit, whose fame soared during the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal in 1998. Smulders takes over the role from Gilpin, who had to exit Impeachment: American Crime Story due to scheduling conflicts. Gilpin told Jimmy Kimmel in June about leaving the role, sharing a comedic impression of Coulter reciting the children’s rhyme “Milk Milk Lemonade.” Gilpin said the impression took “a year (of) listening to Ann Coulter audiobooks” to perfect.
