- A three-decade-old prank involving Madonna and a "prop baby " on The Rosie O’Donnell Show has resurfaced in a new interview.
- Comedian Judy Gold, a writer and producer for the show at the time, revealed that her infant son, Henry, was used as the "prop baby."
- The prank occurred shortly after Madonna gave birth to her daughter, Lourdes Leon, in October 1996, during her first public appearance post-delivery.
- Fans eagerly anticipated seeing Lourdes, so Gold's son was brought out, leading the audience to believe it was Madonna's baby.
- The incident also served as an unexpected "coming out" moment for Judy Gold's mother, who had previously been discreet about her daughter's same-sex relationship and child.
