Stephen Colbert Crashes Peter Jackson’s The Desolation of Smaug Preview to Grill the Director About Elvish Hierarchy [VIDEO]

by Rebecca Pahle | 11:25 am, April 1st, 2013

Following the home video release of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Peter Jackson held a live video event where he spilled some details about The Desolation of Smaug. In this excerpt, Stephen Colbert just couldn’t stop himself from popping up to ensure that he’s getting the elves right. You know nothing, Peter Jackson.

There’s some actual information about Desolation of Smaug in here, too. And a bit of Tauriel. And some Billy Boyd! Hi there, Pippin.

Watch James Franco Get Utterly Schooled Trying to Out-Geek Stephen Colbert On Tolkien [VIDEO]

by Rebecca Pahle | 5:30 pm, March 6th, 2013

James Franco was on The Colbert Report last night to promote Oz the Great and Powerful. And the Oz portion of his interview is fine. But if you skip to 5:19 you can see the good stuff: Franco tried to tried to trip up Colbert—who is the biggest Tolkien geek Peter Jackson has ever met, if you’ll remember—with a question about The Silmarillion. It doesn’t end well for him.

Ian McKellen Kicks Off The Colbert Report’s Hobbit Week, and a Puppy for Everyone Else

by Susana Polo | 1:15 pm, December 4th, 2012

The Colbert Report is going Hobbit themed all this week, so lets be honest: we’re probably going to be posting every interview he does. So, like when Doctor Who was running Pond Life every day for a week, we’ll package the clips with cute videos for everyone else.

Everybody likes cute videos. Only some people like videos where Ian McKellen says that Gandalf is more powerful than Magneto, though there should probably be more of them.

Says Jackson: “I Have Never Met a Bigger Tolkien Geek in My Life.”

by Susana Polo | 12:11 pm, October 29th, 2012

Philippa Boyens is our resident Tolkien expert, and when Stephen came down to visit the set, we put him head to head with Philippa on a Tolkien quiz – and Stephen triumphed. I have to say, his encyclopedic knowledge of Tolkien is spectacular, and points to a deprived childhood in some respects. — Peter Jackson, speaking of Stephen Colbert, who was recently invited to visit the set of The Hobbit films in New Zealand.

As for that rumored and possibly confirmed cameo for the fake news anchor, Jackson said that “it’s yet to be confirmed or denied.”

Watch Colbert Mock “Pixar’s Gay Agenda” [Video]

Watch as Stephen Colbert points out that since Merida from Brave had the courage to resist an arranged marriage she didn’t want, she must be a lesbian, and thus a pawn of Pixar’s Gay Agenda. You know, because challenging traditional gender roles makes you gay. All joking aside, it’s actually a pretty common interpretation of Brave. That’s not to say it would be awful if Merida were gay (it would be awesome) it’s just that it misses the point of the movie — all girls, gay, straight, or otherwise, should be able to choose their own destiny. Perhaps no one got the memo about Merida putting off marriage until she actually figured out who she loved?

Ladies, Let’s Talk About What a Sexy Woman That Stephen Colbert Is

by Jamie Frevele | 10:29 am, May 23rd, 2012

After winning a massive write-in campaign, Stephen Colbert has found himself on Maxim‘s “Definitive List of the World’s Most Beautiful Women,” the Hot 100. You might be asking yourself why Colbert, who is part of the male species, and, therefore, not a woman, is being listed on such a list. Well, you have to ask yourself something else: When you look at Stephen Colbert, is his gender all you see? Is your mind that closed?

Maurice Sendak on Children, Childhood, and Death; Unedited and Uncensored

by Susana Polo | 5:47 pm, May 10th, 2012

When news of Maurice Sendak’s death spread earlier this week, the video most often linked (and for good reason) was a recent interview he’d done with Stephen Colbert. Last night the Colbert Report kindly aired several previously unseen clips from the segment that were edited out. They’re pretty special.

(If anybody finds a video for international folks, please leave it in the comments.)
