Late-night TV host Stephen Colbert has issued a blistering response to some of his crew being arrested and detained near the U.S. Capitol last week.
While filming material for a “Triumph the Insult Comic Dog” segment at Longworth House Office Building — just south of the U.S. Capitol — seven members of the production team for “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” were arrested and charged Thursday with unlawful entry.
According to Colbert and CBS, the staffers were on-site to have Triumph, a puppet voiced by longtime “Saturday Night Live” writer Robert Smigel, conduct “authorized and pre-arranged interviews” with congresspeople about the Jan. 6 insurrection hearings.
