He looks terrible as a blonde. He should be a wood elf.

Silvan. Unlike Thraduil and Legolas who ate Sindarin. I had to look it up.

Colbert is a massive LOTR fan. In fact, he has an encyclopedic knowledge of the franchise.

Balls deep knowledge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmr_CtN1K3g

The Birds just walked right past him.

Yes his character was meant to be flabbergasted by all of the emotions and struggles he saw the lower-class citizens going through.

Isn't he a huge LOTR fan?

Huge doesn’t explain it
jbcars4life
He's like...THE fan
dreadpiratekhan
To the point that we put him into Lord of the Rings Online
CymbalMonkee
He's not a fan. He's Tolkien's entire collection of notes, writings, musings and whathaveyous given human form.
vindik8or
No way. Not at all. Where would you get such a ridiculous notion?
squirrelduck
The biggest.
DickDastardly404
The man prancing about as an elf? Yh pretty sure he’s big into Tolkien.
KOL2024
To the degree he can quote decent chunks of text verbatim with zero prep

cyndrin
To say that would be a HUGE understatement. Look up the clip where James Franco quizzes him. It's hilarious
LarvaLamp
You do NOT come into MY house...!
SerDire
His fandom and knowledge of LOTR earned him a small cameo in the Hobbit Trilogy

And his children too

He was the Lake Town spy
alexjonesisagayfrog
Yes he beat The Tolkien expert they had for the hobbit films (who was considered the best in the world) at a Tolkien off
Fumbledpersonality
.
SubliminalBear
He’s in the Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (guy with eye patch in lake town) - which was his payment for assisting with Tolkien lore.

How is Tolkien pronounce? Tolkien or Tolkien?
Mavgurian
toll-keen
IWantAByte
I know it's confusing, but it's actually neither of those. It's Tolkien.
crashzealot
could you type that louder? just to be clear
IWantAByte
TOLKIEN. Hope it helps.

"I have to say, his encyclopedic knowledge of Tolkien is spectacular, and points to a deprived childhood in some respects.”
KevorkianScarf
When the nerd gets beat at his own game so he calls the winner a bigger nerd.
BlastFX
“…his encyclopedic knowledge of Tolkien is spectacular, and points to a deprived childhood in some respects.” lol
TheWhiteWolfofWallstreet
“points to a deprived childhood in some respects.” Ok, little harsh there Peter.
RachTrap
deprived....if it was deprived how could he read so many books?

He has read Silmarillion multiple times, I don't think huge is enough to define that.
Mavgurian
I've come exactly as far as with the Bible - so, ten pages in or so ...
Frozenspokes
I've read it twice. So many great stories in that book.
KingKelloggTheWaffleHaggler
Question is has he read the unfinished tales and Children of hurin
Bobadook13
Or Beren and Luthien, or the fall of Gondolin.
FrozenWatcher
Yeah he mentioned them in the same video where he mentioned beating the Tolkein expert during The Hobbit filming.
Kensidian
I have no idea but I guarantee the answer is yes. Because Stephen Colbert.
Relykwastaken
I love tolkien and I'm struggling to get through the silmarillion. Its a different book altogether from LotR and the Hobbit
Fumbledpersonality
It's more a summary of the history of the world in lotr, not one story plot. But separate stories in it like "children of Huron" are great
Fumbledpersonality
The book, children of Huron, that is. Check it out! I still need to get my hands on beren and lûthien
EternalSunshineofthePotlessMind
It's basically the Bible of LotR
EverybodysGrudge
The opening is more tedious than than Genesis to me
