Stephen Colbert says staff members were arrested near U.S. Capitol for “first-degree puppetry”
"Late Show" host Stephen Colbert addressed the arrests of staffers at a congressional office building near the U.S. Capitol building last week, calling it "first-degree puppetry." Colbert kicked off Monday's show explaining how several members of his production team, including comedian Robert Smigel, who voices "Triumph the Insult Comic Dog," were arrested at the Longworth House Office Building, and charged with unlawful entry. The team went to Washington, D.C. to film a comedy skit and interview Congress members to highlight the ongoing public hearings on the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. "Democratic and Republican congresspeople agreed to talk to Triumph. He's a bipartisan puppy. He's so neutral, he's neutered," Colbert joked.
