Hulu Picks Up New Triumph the Insult Comic Dog Special

SANTA MONICA: Following a recent Emmy nod, the character Triumph the Insult Comic Dog is set to return to Hulu for a new hour-long political special.

Titled Triumph’s Summer Election Special 2016, the Hulu original is produced in association with Funny Or Die. The production is a follow-up to Triumph’s Election Special 2016, which was nominated for outstanding writing for a variety special.

The new special will see Triumph make his return to the presidential campaign trail, covering delegates, protesters and the major players as they descend on Cleveland and Philadelphia for the Republican and Democratic conventions, respectively. The title is due out on August 11.

“The world needs this desperately,” Triumph said. “Nothing makes sense right now. A craven bully is a nominee. I’m talking, of course, about myself.”
