Ko Triumph, he kuri maunga Yugoslavian, he maha nga wa e pupuhi ana i te hikareti, ka hinga mai i tona mangai ka tiimata tana korero. I puta ia i te tau 1997 i runga i te NBC's "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" hei kuri maunga Yugoslavian pakiwaitara ka puta ano hoki i runga i te "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" mai i tenei wa ki tenei wa, tae atu ki te "TV Funhouse" poto, "Conan" a TBS, me te "The Jack and Triumph Show" a Adult Swim.
