Seven crew members of the "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," including Triumph the Insult Comic Dog creator Robert Smigel, have been arrested in Washington D.C. by US Capitol Police. The crew was taping a segment with Burbank Congressman Adam Schiff. Aired on 06/17/2022.


I wonder if the "seven individuals" include Triumph?

1. Ridiculous!

Pretty sure they could've confirmed with Schiff.

5. What I'm wondering is who "reported" them?

I'm guessing it wasn't a fan of the show...

[SheltieLover]

6. Right!

Someone upset about the hearings, I'm sure!

10. Well, we can be pretty sure what side of the aisle he's on, but that doesn't narrow it down

And we can be sure that Triumph didn't help!

18. My hunch is the Capitol Police are selective with their law enforcement.

The release of this "news item" into the twittersphere and thus right wing ragville is suspiciously timely. I think agents within the Capitol Police reported this to the "appropriate authorities" with obvious intent to "own the libs" again.

There are rats at every level of government leaving their little rat turds.

20. cap police is a political job.

4. Yikes! This is incendiary fuel for Monday's monologue!

3. I wonder which Repub troll reported the "disturbance"

Would be ironic if it was Jordan as he is not used to reporting disturbances.

[Rhiannon12866]

7. It had to be one who's been a subject of Colbert's monologue

But that covers a lot of territory - all e can guess is that they came from the wrong side of the aisle. Or it's possible that Triumph insulted them - but he can't help it, that's his job! I hope that they have it on tape...

11. Sounds like another Republican is direction.

8. You can't bring dogs into the Capitol!...

(except seeing-eye dogs maybe)

[Rhiannon12866]

12. Especially an Insult Comic Dog!

[mucifer]

13. oh wow so Stephen Colbert staged a coup? Wow he needs to go to jail forever

[Rhiannon12866]

14. Actually, apparently it was Triumph the Insult Comic Dog!

[William Seger]

22. Actually, that's about how commenters are treating it on the Fox YouTube channel

... demanding they be treated the same as the insurrectionists.

15. I was certain this was satire at first. 🤷

[Lil Liberal Laura]

16. FOX or Colbert

Whom do I believe? Oooooh, this is a tough one!
