Triumph the Insult Comic Dog... at Comic Con
So the Comic Con website has put up tentative schedules for Thursday and Friday. As always, lots of good programming - but this one buried down at the end of Friday night might be the hardest one to get into-
If Smigel is at Comic Con, that means TRIUMPH is at Comic Con. And as we've all seen from his spots on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Triumph has appeared at freakshow houses-of-horror such as-
-a Bon Jovi Concert in New Jersey
-in line for the first screening of Episode 2 : Attack of the Clones
-the spin alley after a Presidential debate
-the crowd outside the Michael Jackson trial
-Hollywood Squares
And as you can clearly see, all of those places COMBINED would hardly equal the madness that is one day of Comic Con. You think maybe, JUST MAYBE, Triumph will find something to make fun of at Comic Con? JUST MAYBE?!?!?
It's not a question of IF Triumph is going to show up, it's a question of WHEN.
If you're interested in Robert Smigel, there's a great interview with him at the TrioPlus.tv web site. It's in Real Player, unfortunately, but it's a fascinating interview with a guy who went to school to become a dentist - and then somehow became the guy who invented the catchphrase, "for me to poop on".
7:30-9:00 SNL: Saturday TV Funhouse with Robert Smigel— Join the Emmy Award–winning writer, producer and creator of Saturday Night Live's hilarious animated “TV Funhouse” segments, Robert Smigel, for a presentation and discussion about the upcoming DVD release of SNL: The Best Of Saturday TV Funhouse. Featuring clips of "The Ambiguously Gay Duo", "X-Presidents", "Saddam and Osama", "Mr. T" and other favorites, as well as notable "lost" cartoons, banned from the airwaves forever. Q & A to follow! With appearances by animator/director Robert Marianetti and—possibly—Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog. Note: Ladysmith Black Mambazo will not be present. Room 6BThe chance to watch TV Funhouse with Smigel in the audience? Sounds like a blast. I don't think I can be there, since I'll (hopefully) be at a couple other dinner parties Friday night.
