Late Night with Conan O'Brien - The Best of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog

Amazon.com

Life's a bitch, or at least it is to Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog. Since his first appearance in 1997, Triumph has emerged a breed apart as Late Night with Conan O'Brien's biggest breakout star. In fact, not even Conan himself has had a bestselling CD, or appeared on Hollywood Squares. Triumph gives new meaning to the honor "Best in Show" with this collection of his most memorable Late Night appearances, including his now-classic reports at the Westminster Dog Show (where he takes full advantage of backstage access, if you get my cruder meaning), his Red Carpet interviews at MTV's Video Music Awards, and, the pick of the litter, his visit to the Star Wars "uber-dorks" waiting in line for the opening of Attack of the Clones (To a Darth Vader impersonator in full regalia: "Which of these buttons calls your parents to pick you up?"). For Triumph fans, this DVD is a tremendous, exciting experience... FOR ME TO POOP ON! --Donald Liebenson

It's now a dream of mine to some day be privileged enough to be insulted by Triumph. This DVD contains the most enjoyable comedy I've experienced in years.

?&%)*@ Hilarious.......2007-02-09

The scenes at the "Star Wars - Attack of the Clones" premeire are worth the money alone. Insult is an understatement with this DVD. From the appearance on Hollywood Squares to the Bon Jovi footage, to the classic Westminster Dog Show scenes you'll laugh so hard the only thing you'll "Poop On" will be your own underwear.

Very enjoyable.......2007-08-13

While this CD wasn't as good as "Papa's got a Brand New Baghdad" or "Between Irag and a Hard Place", it was still very enjoyable.

TONIGHT SHOW STOPPER.......2007-07-17

I ORDERED THIS FOR MY FATHER FOR FATHER'S DAY AND GOT ONE FOR MYSELF TOO. WHAT A HOOT!! I WATCHED BOTH DISCS AND COULDN'T WAIT TO GIVE MY DAD HIS COPY. WE LAUGHED OUT LOUD AND WISH JOHNNY WAS STILL AROUND TO ENTERTAIN US. WHAT A GREAT COMEDIAN. WHAT TIMING AND PERSONALITY. IT SHOWED THAT HE LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF BEING ON STAGE. I RECOMMEND THIS DVD TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO GO BACK IN TIME AND ENJOY THE COMEDY OF THIS GENIUS.

A handful of the most memorable classic television moments.......2007-06-09

If you enjoyed watching Johnny Carson then this would be a good set to own. It's a great alternative to the longer box sets because it only shows the most memorable moments from the Tonight Show in only about two hours. I enjoyed being able to see the comedy duo of Johnny and Ed McMahon again, along with the final episode. I was pleased, but not surprised, to see that clips from shows when Johnny had animals on the set. They were always the most candid and entertaining.

All of my favorites.......2007-06-09

This DVD set is all my favorite Johnny Carson shows pulled into one. Return to Studio One with Bob Hope and Dean Martin is truly a milestone in comedy, in my opinion. I I'm glad that I was able to make it a part of my collection.

Short and Sweet.......2007-06-09

This 2-disc set is a compilation of some of the best moments from the Tonight Show. Johnny Carson was to talk shows as bacon is to a turkey sandwich; he made a good thing great. I agree with the review by Barry O. though; The Ultimate Johnny Carson Collection - His Favorite Moments from The Tonight Show (Vols. 1-3) (1962-1992) has way more content, so if you are a DVD collection purist, you may prefer that.

Conan O'Brien celebrates the last 10 years of Late Night goodness with thei"10th Anniversary Special" of NBC's "Late Night with Conan O'Brien." Shot at New York City's famed Beacon Theatre, this star-studded primetime MEGA-event features the sketches and familiar characters that have made Conan what Entertainment Weekly calls "Late Night's King of Cool." You'll see appearances by Jack Black, Will Ferrell, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and the Masturbating Bear. Plus the return of Andy Richter, and all the funniest highlights from this Emmy® nominated, top-rated show and even a string dance or two!

"How did you get this talk show?", a seemingly perplexed David Letterman jokes with his successor, Conan O'Brien, in an early clip included on this primetime special. Conan was unknown to the general public when he took the reigns of Late Night, but he had already established his comedy cred in hipper comedy circles as a writer on Saturday Night Live and The Simpsons. And while the prospect of a tenth anniversary show might have seemed unlikely in those early years, Conan and company remade Late Night in the host's pop-culture savvy and self-deprecating image. While Conan's fifth anniversary special might have been a nice addition to this disc, this 10th Anniversary celebration is an uproarious recap, sure to have newcomers scratching their heads at such Late Night characters as Pimpbot 5000 and the Masturbating Bear. Along with the classic clips (William Shatner forgetting the name of his signature Star Trek character, a practical joke that sends former sidekick Andy Richter naked onto the set of Today), there are celebrity cameos by Ben Stiller and Mr. T and appearances by Will Ferrell and Jack Black, and breakout star Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. The generous bonus footage collects even more signature moments not included in the special. So, to quote O'Brien's huckster in a commercial spoof: You want to laugh? Late Night with Conan O'Brien has the guests, the costumes, all laughs, all the time. Come and get it! --Donald Liebenson

Late with Conan O'Brien 10th Anniversary Special Rocks.......2007-01-09

This was purchased as a gift for our 19 year old son who said it was the best. He is a huge fan of Conan O'Brien and feels this was the best compilation of Conan's work.

Jumped the Shark.......2006-08-28

Late Night w/ Conan O'Brien, was an entertaining and original show,from about 94-99. Around the time Andy left it started going downhill. They started running certain sketches into the ground. The new skits werent nearly as funny or original. Even the interviews have become boring,for the most part. The show has become mainstream,reflected in this DVD.
This DVD is pretty bad,overall. Only reccommended for serious fans.

Excellent .......2006-03-17

First off, anything having to do with Conan is great, but this DVD is the best! The show is great and the DVD extras are even better! Buy this DVD!

Nice special for a great show (but the extra features are weak).......2005-10-21

Anyone who laughs at Conan's comedy on his Late Night show will enjoy the main material of this DVD. The 10th anniversary special included guest appearances from many people that left a mark on the show (Andy Richter, John Tesh, William Shatner, the masturbating bear, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, etc.).

My only complain about this DVD is regarding the extra features, in which I felt a little bit disappointed. There was plenty material from 10 years of great shows to pick up and put as extra. Unfortunately, the selections were not the funniest. Regardless of the existence of other DVDs or books, the extras should have included, for example, bits from Triumph and from the "In the year 2000" sketches. There is nothing from them.

In short, this is a very good 10th anniversary special DVD. But do not expect this to be a "The Best of Conan O'Brien" DVD, because it is not.

Since his first appearance on "Late Night" in 1997, the raucous, raunchy cigar-smoking, bow tie-wearing, poodle-humping pooch has made dog meat of everything, from the esteemed Westminster Dog Show to his celebrity-trashing of Bon Jovi, "Hollywood Squares" and the "Video Music Awards" to the infamous romp though Quebec and the legendary Attack of the Nerds at a STAR WARS premiere. Throw in an additional 90 minutes of bonus footage, including Triumph's very first appearance, other in-studio collisions with guests like Jerry Springer and Simon Cowell, his "I Keed" music video, and never-before-seen outtakes, and you have the ultimate anthology... "for me to poop on!"

Writer-director Robert Benton, who examined a similar story in 1998's "Twilight," first explored the territory of the geriatric private eye in this sadly underrated 1977 delight. Art Carney stars as a nearly retired detective who suddenly finds himself caught up in two seemingly separate cases. One involves the murder of his former partner (Howard Duff); the other entangles him with a flaky post-hippie (Lily Tomlin), who wants him to find her missing cat. The two cases eventually dovetail, but the plot--which leads them to a Hollywood crime bigwig played by the affable Eugene Roche--is of less interest than the almost magical chemistry between the crotchety Carney and the wonderfully off-the-wall Tomlin. The perfect film for anyone who likes their mysteries in the Dashiell Hammett/Raymond Chandler mode. --Marshall Fine

Description

An aging private eye tries to solve the murder of his ex-partner with the help of an aimless young woman.

Excellent Detective Homage.......2007-06-11

I'm sure the powers that be didn't know how to market this quirky gem then or now. If you go to the video store they usually file it in the comedy section which is the furthest thing from the truth. For sure, there are comic elements in "The Late Show" but if you blink you miss them. The film is a mystery, rather, a homage to the work of Chandler and Hammet. Like the best tributes "The Late Show" stands on it's own as a great film. The film has it all including a brilliantly woven mystery penned by writer-director Robert Benton and terrific acting. Art Carney ingeniously underplays detective Ira Wells, an old school detective out of place in Seventies L.A. suffering from a perforated ulcer and a bum leg. Lily Tomlin matches him as new age kook Margo who employs Ira to find her cat. Despite the generation gap there is palpable chemistry between Carney and Tomlin. Check out how Benton cleverly ends this yarn. There's a non-flashy low-key quality to "The Late Show" which shouldn't be surprising because it was produced by the master of understatement, Robert Altman. Catch this film before it possibly goes out of print.

A failed film noir.......2007-04-22

I purchased this film because of the rave reviews, on Amazon and elsewhere, and because of the two highly talented stars. What a jolt to discover that the film is a flop, a failed attempt to remake a film noir featuring someone like Humphrey Bogart or Peter Falk as the tough detective. Toss in an airhead junkie as the sidekick and you have magic, right? Wrong. The script is the primary problem. It's unintelligible and without an ounce of wit. There is the grisly murder and the car chase for the teenagers. And the sloppy ending, so that everyone will go home satisfied. But it all adds up to nothing. I'd rather watch re-runs of "Law and Order."

An Endearing, First-Rate Murder Mystery.......2004-11-24

An endearing murder mystery, with great chemistry between Art Carney and Lily Tomlin. Carney is an aging, gruff private eye with a bad leg, a bleeding ulcer and a hearing aid. Tomlim is an off-kilter woman who believes in reincarnation and occasionally sells a little dope. She wants to hire Carney to find her cat. From there we have belly shots, beatings and blackmail. It's a nice, complicated mystery. Tomlin has a great scene with a refrigerator. And the ending is satisfying.

If people ever thought Tomlin wasn't a skilled actress, they should watch this film and Nashville. Shame she hasn't had more of a movie career. I think she's an attractive woman, but no Hollywood starlette type. She's got a long face, a skeptical intelligence about her, and wicked humor. On the other hand, she could play with great vulnerability (Nashville).

First rate movie. First rate actress. Carney was certainly her equal in the film, and Bill Macy plays a memorable sleaze.

BETTER A "LATE SHOW" THAN A NO-SHOW.......2002-08-06

"The Late Show" (1977), Robert Benton's valentine to the 1940's detective film genre has it all: the structure, the language, the grit and noir, plus something more--humor and heart. Long overlooked and drastically under rated by 1970's reviewers, the film and especially its title seemed to dredge up images of some old B&W flick that belonged on late night TV and perhaps didn't fit the mold of being "with it" or of being retro-slick in a then-generation of the Think Young, Drink Pepsi (not Alka Seltzer) society it reflected. Yet what most critics seem to have missed about the title alone is its play on words which embraced not only the old, late night TV movie idea but also the spirit of the tribute writer/director Robert Benton presents here: the vernacular of 1940's detective speak, where "show" meant a client or a job, and, "late" meant late, as in beyond the time someone or something is expected to arrive. Thus, the slang title refers to both Ira Wells (Art Carney) and Margo Sperling (Lily Tomlin), who are thrown together, quite unexpectedly, at a crucial time--before it's really too "late" (as in "dead"). Carney brilliantly (yet so unassumingly) plays 'Ira Wells,' a set in his ways broken down old heat packing (private) detective with "a bum leg, perforated ulcer, and hearing aid," who's been living out what's left of an empty and lonely life in a rented bedroom in an older widow's home. Resigned to this seeming fate, Ira believes his best days, times, and friends are all behind him (especially at the rate people he's known are "kicking off"). Ira can see his own end, which is brought home even more forcefully when his former PI partner, Harry Regan (Howard Duff), who seemingly arrives for a long over-due visit after a bender, dies in Ira's rented bedroom bed from a gunshot to the gut (yet spilling nothing save for blood). Enter Charles Hatter (Bill Macy), a chiseler and con artist, along with a wonderfully zany and off-beat wannabe actress, Margo Sperling (Lily Tomlin). They show up with a stolen cat "case" for Ira Wells at Regan's funeral entombment--and the game of cat and mouse, or, rather, rat, is almost ready to begin--again--for Ira, who says only he's "out of the business" and never uses the word "retired." But this will not be "just another case," it will be THE case, coming in the nick--and Nora--of time to make a difference and a change possible in the lives of two people. Of course, hindrances loom immediately: old-school/generation collides with new, language usage throws up an initial barrier as does Ira's 1940's mind set about women ("dolls") and how they're supposed to act. Yet all this goes by the boards when Ira and Margo start to work the related cases of the missing cat and Regan's murder together. These two people turn out to be an unlikely team that has needed the likes of one another all along. Their differences are far outweighed by what they have in common--such things as character, dignity, regard for others, loyalty, caring, and inner strength. They complement each other which tends to bring out the best in both of them. Ira has not ever had a pal, partner, buddy, or romantic interest who wasn't simply out for himself or herself until Margo; and Margo hasn't ever met anyone quite like Ira, who inspires her, looks out for her, and not only encourages but trusts her to sleuth with him, the pro, even before he discovers she could really excel at it and is more savvy about life and things than even he expected. He becomes enough at ease with Margo. though, that when pressed, he emotionally reveals his inner most fear with her--the scene between the two at the diner, after Ira collapes and Margo wants to take him to the hospital, should have earned Art Carney an Oscar nomination alone. But will they solve the murder? Will they ever team up? "The Late Show" is as much a story of the human condition as it is a noir murder mystery to be solved. Even the bad guys like Ronnie Birdwell (Eugene Roche) and Charles Hatter (Bill Macy) have real dimension and differences--and are portrayed as likeable louses with their own problems in life. The plot is skillfully and painstakingly developed with twists and turns which cover, much as the detective films of the 1940s did, mystery, which can turn to comedy, then switch to tragic drama, and even twist to include a hint of romance. Robert Benton deserved the Oscar for this original screenplay, not simply the nomination. The only remaining question is: when will the director's cut become available on video or DVD so that audiences can discover the rather obvious chunks of missing footage from the film including (but not limited to) John Davey as 'Sgt. Dayton'?--Lenore Hutton Normal, Illinois

Another Great Detective movie!.......2000-09-19

Along with Night Moves,(and obviously Chinatown) this one of my favorite detective films from the 70s. Art Carney and Lily Tomlin are a great pair and they help make a good movie even better. Robert Benton(Bad Company, Nobondy's Fool, Twilight) has made a great film here that is at once a tribute and a commentary on Raymond Chandler-type films. Carney is great as an aging PI who is hired to find a cat and ends up embroiled in a much larger story. The dialogue here is so well done-it's very stylish-throwback dialogue if you will. I love this movie and it seems that so few people have seen it. I own it and any fan of the Maltese Falcon or the Big Sleep should too.

He's not only funny, but he manages to weave the news of the day into a topical humor that doesn't easily offend. It's not an easy trick, but Jon Stewart pulls it off on "The Daily Show," a satire of a daily news broadcast that borders on parody. What you'll immediately learn from Stewart's interview with ABC New is that the road to comedy stardom is paved with an assortment of odd jobs -- shelf stocker at Woolworth's, bakery worker, puppet master and, believe it or not, mosquito sorter.

The Case of the Late Pig, one of the best of the BBC adaptations of Margery Allingham's mystery novels of the 1930s, takes her whimsical gentleman sleuth Albert Campion (Peter Davison) and his cantankerous ex-con manservant Lugg (Brian Glover) into the British countryside, where they encounter the usual collection of ridiculous personalities, improbable murders, and unexpected narrative twists--this time featuring a childhood bully, mysterious poetic letters, a human corpse replaced by a dead pig, and some very important ice cubes. Thanks to particularly sharp writing and dramatic flair, The Case of the Late Pig achieves the perfect mix of suspense and self-satire that marks Allingham's mysteries; and since one of the suspects is an old flame of Campion's, it allows Davison the opportunity to play more than just his usual investigative relish and slightly macabre humor. Topnotch. --Bret Fetzer

Description

Behind his distinctive owlish glasses and gentle, deceptive naivete, Albert Campion conceals a passion for excitement and danger. Peter Davison (All Creatures Great and Small, Doctor Who) plays Margery Allingham's enigmatic sleuth, with Brian Glover as his loyal but slightly shady manservant in these classic mysteries set in the 1930's. Albert Campion discovers that an old school chum, whose funeral he attended, might not be dead after all. Coincidentally, he receives an urgent plea from an old flame to solve another puzzling murder. Could the two be connected?

Description

Garry Shandling, famous comedian, discusses The Larry Sanders Show, his new film Hurlyburly, and his new book Confessions of a Late Night Talk Show Host, The Autobiography of Larry Sanders. He does the interview in a humorous style that is similar to his stand-up comedy.

Customer Reviews:

Great but horribly overpriced.......2006-10-16

Charlie Rose's conversation with actor/writer Garry Shandling, coming off the last episode of his well-regarded "Larry Sanders Show", has Garry come off as flustered but still gracious, funny but still serious, and overall a person worth getting to know. In the interview, Charles states his goal as making the subjects of his interviews seem interesting, and in addressing his body of work that, which, along with "Larry Sanders", included (at the time of this interview), his 70s sitcom writing on "Welcome Back, Kotter" and "Sanford & Son", his (not really mentioned in the interview) Showtime series "It's Garry Shandling's Show", his acting in the then-recent film "Hurlyburly", and his book, "Confessions of a Late Night Talk Show Host", written in the character of Larry Sanders, the plugging thereof being the reason that he is on the program. Rose also adeptly covers events from Shandling's personal life, such as the car crash in the 70s he was a party to and a lawsuit against his manager.

The physical DVD of this program is overpriced. Fortunately, Google Video sells a download of the program for $.99, cheaper than even iTunes.
