Late Night with Conan O'Brien: The Best of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog (2004)

When I was at the 2008 Republican National Convention who did I run into but that esteemed investigative reporter, Triumph?!!! As I came off the floor of the convention, Triumph was mercilessly interrogating Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty. This was hilarious to watch. Gov. Pawlenty was a good sport and had a lot of fun with Triumph.

Next, Triumph asked to interview me! Having 4 dogs at home I thought I'd give him a try. Now I had already seen my College Republican Friend Karl Rove and Dr. Kissenger (whom I had met at a dinner a few years back), but the highlight of the evening had to be this interview with Triumph! First he asked if I called Obama "Osama", and I noted I called Obama "Abomniable Obama"--now try saying that one quickly for TV. Next I tried to get one over on our investigator, but he quickly snapped me into my place. Finally he asked me about Sarah Palin (and this is the clip that made it to the Late Show on 9/4/2008)---I said she was "Saint Sarah---the savior of the Party"! Well, it was truly fun to test my wits with this great comedian! My daughter thought that was the coolest thing I did and she sent the clip to all her friends.

So if you ever get the chance, visit with Triumph and test your verbal skills. You'll have a great time!
