Seven members of the production team behind Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, a regular segment on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” were arrested by Capitol Police and charged with unlawful entry Thursday while filming “stand-ups and other final comedy elements in the halls” of Congress, CBS, which airs the late-night talk show, confirmed Friday in a statement to The Times.
According to the network’s statement, the “Late Show” staffers were on Capitol Hill on Wednesday and Thursday, amid the ongoing, to record “authorized and pre-arranged” interviews with members of Congress. It was after completing those interviews that the production team remained on-site to film and was detained.
“On June 16, 2022, at approximately 8:30 p.m., U.S. Capitol Police received a call for a disturbance in the Longworth House Office Building,” U.S. Capitol Police said in a statement. “Responding officers observed seven individuals, unescorted and without Congressional ID, in a sixth-floor hallway. The building was closed to visitors, and these individuals were determined to be a part of a group that had been directed by the USCP to leave the building earlier in the day.
StephenAtHome Trending 3 days straight on your crew being arrested. Officially more airtime then FoxNews ran on Jan6 insurrection.
Cool. Now tell where all the other folks who were there work.
My goodness, another insurrection?
It wasn't unlawful
I read they had permission to be there!
Will they be sitting in jail for 2 years and be deemed insurrectionists’? They were once denied entry unlike J6 where the guards held the doors open for the accused.
When do the hearings begin?
Given that Colbert very clearly shifted from subversive liberal comedian to Democratic party agitprop a few months into taking the Late Show spot, the Capitol almost certainly knew about this in advance through one channel or another. Heck, they probably orchestrated it.
Overhyped! Sounds more like the equivalent of overstaying their visas...yawn.
FireColbert Insurrection2022
They'll all get off because they're liberals. If they were conservatives they be charged and prosecuted.. Pounding on Kevin McCarthy's door and others. Nothing to see here. They just wanted to talk. Joke
So, people who are trying to earn a living are arrested simply because there's no paper in a filing cabinet somewhere. The world we live in.
The capital police like the easy arrests...
Not just detained arrested
Well you know the rules lock them up for a year-and-a-half for an in armed Insurrection that was peaceful
I know many people that I’ve done illegal entry in this country and they’re still walking around…..me, my cousins, family etc
Can we investigate this tragedy as much as the recent?
Can't wait to see Colbert's show. Love him 😍
But no one will be put into solitary confinement for a year with no hearing, only conservatives caught in capitol are…
Is it true that Adam Schiff was an accomplice to the June 16th Colbert insurrectionists?
Insurectionists.
Why are the press arrested while being peaceful as guests but thousands can break windows and plant bombs and they’re allowed to walk away, with Capitol Police waving them out? Insanity… the way this country operates is insane.
i love the part where you guys don't mention that this is being played up and that they had been invited to the capitol to do interviews 3
Don’t care for the guy one bit but this is obviously a mix up and they should be let go
The outrage. The confusion. The complete disgust over the fact this happens everyday in our country, our rights violated, the righteous condemned for their speech, but it only makes news if it’s profitable… for the news. It’s desensitized everyone. Collective calcification. 👁
They had prior approval. Capital Police need to communicate!
Good
He has been a tool for a long time now StephenKing , you know which one. both
Insurrection,
Will Colbert and staff be held indefinitely in solitary confinement until the show trial begins? 🐍🐍🐍 Insurrectionists
This is the same trespass crime as the 1/6 violators. They need to be in pretrial solitary confinement just like the 1/6 trespassers.
Arrested. They were arrested.
man, they were so unfunny that they got arrested. what a society.
Sweet!
Stop talking about this non-story.
Oh, Tucker, you are such a baby. And I mean that intellectually and emotionally.
They’re insurrectionists now
Will they be prosecuted to the same extent of those of Jan 6? Probably not. They did the same exact thing
“Detained”. You can bet your bottom dollar if these weren’t left-wing talk show associates that the LA Times would be leading with “Arrested” and “Charged” in the headline, which is actually more accurate.
So they'll immediately arrest a film crew for filming an unauthorized comedy segment in the halls, but it took them how long to start arresting rioters who were literally hunting down members of Congress with intent to kill?
The correct terminology is ARRESTED! Insurrection IllegalEntry StephenColbert
INSURRECTION!!
And the feds won’t do shit because there are two standards of justice. Also known as a dictatorship
So now do you leftists believe that Republicans are not to blame for what happened at the Capitol?
Will they be charged as insurrectionists ?
😂
Weird. MTG never gets arrested for her comedic performances at the Capitol.
Omg insurrectionists !!
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert mob of comedy writers..the world needs more comedy and less rioting.
I’m up late for colbertlateshow Monday nite. GQP won’t get away with this triumph.
I believe this ridiculous arrest is a stunt orchestrated by those who wish to divert attention away from the Jan. 6 Insurrection hearings. Those who want to erase the severity of the insurrection, are turning themselves inside out to find ways to distract from the truth.
Let's just call it what it was, an Insurrection.
Insurrection. Investigate them for 18 months + all networks can air coverage of the hearings aka “trials” for free during prime time
Thanks a lot for nothing SC Crew. Things are freaking bad enough with trying to bring others to justice over the 1/6 insurrection and you have to go and do this? Nothing funny about unlawful entry. Won't be watching LSSC any more.
Can't wait for Monday's monolog. It'll be a doozie. He won't let THIS SLIDE. P.S. He's a decent guy. I'm a fan of the show.
Am I missing something or is Triumph the insult fog Conan O’briens skit? These reports and arrests are incredibly suspicious.
greggutfeld I heard Biden was so surprised that he fell off his bike.
Will they send 'Triumph the Insult Comic Dog' to prison or the pound?
This is a shocking surprise, embarrassing for Colbert who is a strong supporter of the January 6th committee work. What was his staff doing there?
Insurrection!
I’m sure they’ll be charged with sedition.
