CBS said that Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, the puppet that Mr. Smigel has voiced for years, had been at the Capitol on Thursday with the production team when they were detained by the police. At the time of the arrest, the team had finished prearranged interviews with members of Congress and were filming “final comedy elements” in the building’s hallways for an upcoming segment on “The Late Show.” The seven people were later charged with unlawful entry, and an investigation is now underway in consultation with Matthew M. Graves, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, the Capitol Police said, adding that more criminal charges may be filed. Mr. Graves’s office could not immediately be reached for comment on Friday night. |

I'm so looking forward to hearing the "Late Show" monologue about all this....It'll be one for the ages. Could only be a better story if Colbert himself had been there.
Is smoking allowed in the congressional office buildings? Because we all know Triumph is never without his cigar. Another charge to add to the rap sheet! |
| Did Triumph shit in the hallways of the Capitol just like the Republican zombies on January 6th? |
No, if he did that he wouldn't have been arrested. |
| Just as goofy and as much a threat to the republic as the wannabe viking. |
Probably not. Dogs wouldn't be allowed to do that, particularly democrat dogs. |
| Better for me to poop ON! |
| Wait. I thought that was Conan’s skit. Why is Colbert using it? |
Cuz Colbert is unoriginal and not funny. |
I thought Conan sold the rights during his US pity party tour a few years ago. |
