Such is a time and a place in either NYC’s Time Square or Hollywood and Highland here in LA these days that people can buy very good (or, in many cases, not so good costumes) of famous characters from TV and movies in order to make a living.
Leave it to Conan’s Triumph the Insult Comic Dog to shake down the whole take pictures with tourists for tips “industry”. Watch what one of the most famous costumed characters, Triumph, in late night does to Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Buzz Lightyear, Cookie Monster, and more.
