Steven Colbert wants to a Tolkien Character
We bet our top dollar that you didn’t know that talk show host Steven Colbert had a guest role in the movie The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. In one of his show’s bits, he visits New Zealand and meets Lord of the Rings director, Peter Jackson for an interview, hoping to be cast by him in a movie that he pitches. However, Jackson is not impressed! Next we see a trailer clip for his new movie, which is obviously a parody, as it shows Steven on a quest with Jackson as his companion and even featured actors Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, and Viggo Mortensen! LOTR fans lost it when this episode aired.
