Few are better at causing puckish mischief with a puppet than Robert Smigel and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. All throughout this last election cycle, he made following the campaign trail a little more tolerable with his Hulu specials.
So, naturally, Triumph went by the Inauguration of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States and made this, as expected, amazing remote segment for last night’s Conan.
In the late night talk show showdown where talk shows are really booking something big in order to compete with Leno’s last week at The Tonight Show, perhaps what will be one of the most interesting and funniest interviews is Stephen Colbert interviewing members of the punk group Pussy Riot on The Colbert Report.
First off, there’s a translator adding a whole new element of comedic timing to the interview as well as the two members of Pussy Riot being pretty great in the interview. Also, Colbert clearly takes interest towards the end of Pussy Riot’s aims and invitation for Putin to put them back into jail over maintaining the Colbert character.
Give this amazing interview a watch now. Parts one and two.
