Actually Mick is having his ass funnied for his 40th birthday. It's a Shire tradition I guess.

Anyway, can't say I'd ever heard of Triumph the dog before seeing that clip in "spin alley" which really should be called "Poop Valhalla"...it was just so damn funny seeing these clowns get harrassed by a dog puppet. 

You gotta admit those interviews were a lot more hard hitting than the ones Mr. "Sit 'n' Spin Zone" does. I nearly fell out of my chair laughing at some of those. I wish he could have had a better shot at Rove...but that was a good line he got off.

My wife actually knew who Triumph the dog was...I had no idea. She never watches Conan O'Brien but I guess she heard him on NPR...she told me that guy has been doing the Triumph thing for a long time. News to me, I saw a couple other clips on the net with him but none as funny as that trip through the poop kitchen known as spin alley...there was one clip of him at the Westminster Dog show that was pretty funny though.
