AOL Debuts Second Season Of ‘Park Bench With Steve Buscemi’

One of AOL’s original web series is back for another season. The media giant released the first episode of Park Bench with Steve Buscemi season two on June 18, 2015, with special guest star Robert Smigel as Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog.

In Park Bench’s premiere episode for season two, actor Steve Buscemi receives the call from AOL that his show has been picked up for another season. His celebration is cut short when Triumph starts insulting the web series and offers Buscemi advice on how to host. After relocating to a New York City park bench, Triumph simply returns to hurling insults instead of offering hosting tips.
