Triumph the Insult Comic Dog

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog is a puppet character created by Robert Smigel. He is a Montenegrin Mountain Hound who smokes cigars and insults people. He first appeared on NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien in 1997 and has since appeared on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien, TV Funhouse, TBS's Conan, Adult Swim's The Jack and Triumph Show, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Smigel and Triumph have been ejected from several events for Triumph's antics, including the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, the Honolulu line for auditions for American Idol, and the 2004 Democratic National Convention.
