TH: Hobbit Week on the Colbert Report

[Rob, Roberator]

I forgot to post this sooner, but it's Hobbit Week on the Colbert Report. He's got a bunch of movie related interviews this week as well as a bunch of other stuff including a Middle Earth map of NYC I guess.

Tor.com has more info (including a picture of the map)

No idea if this is viewable to anyone outside the US, but here are all the interviews from the official website:

Ian McKellen
Martin Freeman
Andy Serkis
Peter Jackson

I just wish the Colbert Report were longer so the interviews could be longer. :-(

All the interviews were really great though. Well worth your time!

I've always wondered why Colbert doesn't do longer interviews and post it on the website like The Daily Show.

Fantastic interview with Ian McKellen... "Gandalf the Gay," haha XD

What the Sam Hill? How does one transform a memoir into a Sci-Fi novel?

I love how into Tolkien Stephen is. He baits his guests into trivia contests then ever so douchily lords his vast Hobbit/LoTR knowledge over them.

Colbert was recently interviewed by Playboy magazine, and his love of Tolkien came up in the latter part of the article. In fact, it is hinted that Colbert was an extra in the filmed version of The Hobbit, though he never confirmed the rumor.

Here's a link to a copy of the interview: http://www.ericspitznagel.com/celebri...
