From last night’s _Conan_. Robert Smigel always kills me with these bits but this one was especially good. Skip to the last couple of minutes if all you want to see is Triumph get his comeuppance.

> A few days after claiming the Golden Collar Awards were “fixed,” Conan O’Brien’s cigar-chomping canine correspondent Triumph the Insult Comic Dog crashed the Jan. 13 ceremony. The footage finally made it to air last night on Conan. Behold the irascible mutt as he accuses a tiara-clad Cavalier King Charles spaniel of having “work done” (you’ll have to watch to see which TV personality he holds up as her “Before” picture), makes below-the-collar accusations about Blackie the Doberman from Hugo, and accosts a Real House Pet of Beverly Hills. But which prime-time pooch finally takes Triumph down a peg? Find out after the jump.

I like how Smigel doesn’t even try to hide his arm anymore!

And I like FX’s Wilfred, but it is pretty stupid to nominate him!

Way too funny – I love Triumph. (I actually wrote a blog post about these awards, guess I’ll have to post an update.)

Yeah, that’s gone completely by the wayside. I always feared that one of these days someone would tear Triumph to shreds. I just didn’t think it would be another dog.
