Okay, I’m running a little late today and don’t have time for an official post, so I’m going to post one of my favorite skits from the Conan O’Brien show.
This is Jack McBrayer and Triumph The Insult Comic Dog visiting The Weiner’s Circle in Chicago, Illinois. And yes, I’ve met them both.
I love this skit and I’m going to name-drop here and talk about the fact that I’ve met both of these TV stars in real life.
Most people know Jack McBrayer from his role as Kenneth on the TV show 30 Rock. Jack started out doing improv comedy at Second City in Chicago and ended up moving to New York where he continued improv at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade which sadly just closed.
When I lived in New York I used to go to the Sunday shows at UCB theatre on 26th Street and Jack was a frequent performer in the Sunday shows and I met him after a performance and he was a real nice guy.
He was impressed with the fact that I had an apartment on 16th street between 5th and 6th. That was typical New York talk, you had to be there.
Triumph The Insult Comic Dog came out with a CD in 2003 called, Come Poop With Me.
They had a show with Triumph and the Conan O’Brian band at the Virgin Record Store In Times Square back in 2003 when it came out. i went to the show and afterwards if you bought a CD you could get it autographed by Triumph and the guy who voices him and writes the material, Robert Smigel.
I bought a CD and stood in line and it took forever because Triumph took the time to insult everyone in line who got an autograph.
I was wearing all black clothing, so Triumph said as I approached the autograph table, “Hey look everyone, it’s Johnny Cash, the man in black. How about singing a few bars of ‘I Walk The Line,’ bitch?”
So as I walked towards the table, I sang, “Because you’re mine, Triumph, I walk the line.”
And he replied, “What a great rendition of that song…for me to poop on!.” The crowd broke out in laughter.
And there you have it, my two moments of time with Jack McBrayer and Triumph The Insult Comic Dog.
I’ll be back tomorrow with a regular MBIP post, for you to poop on!
