1. You all have GOT to see the shot of Triumph holding up a sign behind Lindsey Graham

that says WILL LIE FOR RUBLES - while Graham is speaking to reporters, with his back turned to Triumph!

It's at minute 8:19 - near the end. But I encourage you to watch the whole thing, it's hilarious!

[Rhiannon12866]

2. I agree, this was LOL hysterical!

Not just Lindsey Graham, but he went after Mittens and Mitch McConnell, too! Plus - "I used to write for Cat Fancy!" Priceless...

4. "For me to poop on!" LOL... thanks for the clips. (N/T)

5. Excellent!

6. Triumph is hilarious!

I love the part where he asks the guard to smell his mustache (when he is pretending to be Bolton) and he says "Smell it. It smells just like Cheney's ass"!!!

7. Colbert, Triumph, and then James Taylor...50 minutes of tv at it's best last night!

[Rhiannon12866]

8. I agree! This was a thoroughly great show! For those who missed it...

I know it's not political, but seeing James Taylor was also pretty special:

Though he didn't take his own advice as a young songwriter, legendary musician James Taylor advises those just starting out to pick an existing song they like and, without stealing it, use it as a template upon which to craft a new original tune. Listen to Taylor share stories from the beginning of his career on his new Audible audiobook memoir titled "Break Shot."
