It’s difficult to play catch-up when an election season unfolds at the speed of Twitter. The Republican presidential candidate and former “Apprentice” host’s use of social media has provided a blizzard of media “events” — not all of them entirely “newsworthy” — that get discussed and dissected nonetheless. They arrive with such rapidity that passing “thoughts” from just yesterday can seem like ancient history. Against this backdrop, Hulu presents, or rather streams, “Triumph’s Summer Election Special 2016,” a political comedy starring Robert Smigel as his cigar-chomping hand puppet alter-ego, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. The audaciously rude canine visits both parties’ conventions and interviews delegates and dignitaries in his signature scatological style. Of course, the conventions ended last month. Will anyone but the most diehard Triumph fan want to revisit Philadelphia and Cleveland? On the other hand, the constant onslaught of political eruptions might call for a little reflection and perspective. “The Daily Show” used to pretty much own the territory with its nightly recaps. But since the departure of Jon Stewart, two of his former “correspondents,” John Oliver and Samantha Bee, have received more attention and respect for their weekly reports, HBO’s “Last Week Tonight With John Oliver,” airing on Sunday nights, and “Full Frontal With Samantha Bee,” airing Monday nights on TBS. It’s interesting to note that well into the 21st century, these weekly satirical recaps possess a bit of TV DNA from “That Was the Week That Was,” a pioneering BBC news satire that began running more than a half-century ago. David Frost “anchored” the series when it began in the U.K. in 1962. He also starred on the U.S. series when it appeared on NBC in 1964 and ‘65. Writers for “Week” included John Cleese, Peter Cook and Roald Dahl.
