NBC had this long-standing history of cancelling Conan's show.

[@TheMokeets]

Dhawal shankar srivastav NBC didnt deserve a king

[@jubjub7101]

Just watched The Late Shift on HBO again and you see how Conan and Letterman were world class Late Night hosts compared to Leno, who guest hosted Carson and his agent basically blackmailed the execs to give the job to him. Letterman got screwed, same as Conan, and all the while Leno filled his bank accounts and sucked for many years.

[@dhawalshankarsrivastav3359]

It was NBC's loss, Conan is a pure genius who creates genuinely hilarious content.

[@indragomberg2464]

I'd watch a reality show all about how the team picks which videos to post when.

Eventually, enough postcards were sent and this show got on air, although with Conan's part being recast by Jack McBrayer. Oh, the irony.

Yanni75 was it DVP’s last sitcom?

@@happydayz7857 It honestly might have been, if it was uncredited.

And NBC wondered why it was in the ratings toilet all those post-Seinfeld and Friends years.

[@phootphetishphilip5551]

But when he wrote for the Simpsons in the early 90s its best era then what? Yeah Conan was great

[@docdaytona108]

PhootPhetishPhilip ! Well, what I meant was that NBC was in the ratings toilet because it DIDN’T pick this sitcom up. (It’s a joke of course, but NBC probably could’ve used it back then!)

[@MM-ud1xf]

Wikipedia tells us that in the fall of 1999, instead of A Couple of Mutts, NBC decided to air Daddio, a sitcom featuring Michael Chiklis as a stay at home dad. Obviously the best use of Chiklis’s talents.

[@SJReid82]

Back in the day when a mention of Triumph only earned a tepid response. Now, Conan even alludes to him and the crowd goes bonkers.

Can I take this opportunity to very highly recommend Triumph's Hulu 'Election Specials' from 2016? Go track them down, eg. Trump visiting 'urban neighbourhoods' in a tank, and setting up a 'sink-a-Muslim' game outside a Trump rally. You will not be disappointed.

That is the comedy. It is meant to be a satire of those 90s living-room sitcoms that were common. They wanted to make it jokingly amateur, cheesy, and rushed.

Triumph, the Insult Dog! 2:58 First think, change the set. Lighten it up. Add more contrasting colors to add more depth to the room. 3:34 Put Triumph closer to the audience/camera to establish a better connection with the viewers. 5:23 Hire a Director. 7:54 I cannot unsee that. No.
