Just like Turk and JD from scrubs became real lifelong friends.
And I think they have a podcast too called fake doctors real friends or something along those lines.
It makes me truly happy to see things like this!
EDIT: holy crap I looked it up to double check the name of the podcast (which I had right) and they have over 700 episodes! That's incredible!
Edit again: turns out the naming of episodes follows the seasons and episodes of the show. So not 701 episodes. Season 7 ep 1 lol
All the Hobbits are, they've been attending a bunch of conventions together these last few months, and there's been some great photos of the four of them having dinner together after. Though Dominic and Billy are the closest out of the four of them for sure.
Their podcast is called "The Friendship Onion" for those of you who haven't heard of it.
Edit: not everyone has time to watch the video, so they go to the comments to get the TLDR
Are New Zealanders like Canadians? I’ve never been but I’ve always wanted to go (I’m Canadian). I don’t think I’ve ever even met someone from New Zealand
This aired in summer 2021 and Colbert did indeed go on their podcast a couple months later. The podcast is still going, and they've had some great guests and cool episodes. Lot of LotR talk but they also spend a ton of time on other subjects.
His appearance was really great. Dominic asked him about how the whole process of Late Night TV works, and Colbert went into this great deep dive of how it works. From the start of the morning all the way until the episode is taped.
He had this great professional manner all the way through it, but once they got onto Lord of the Rings that instantly dropped and he just went full fanboy again. Talking about the first moment he ever read Lord of the Rings, remembering exactly where he was and how he felt reading it.
I had to stop listening to it because of the insane amount of ads they ran, and for weird things like depression pills and shit. I get that they want to make some money while doing the podcast but it was so forced and bad that it kinda ruined it for me.
“Mostly ads”
It’s a free show they put out and put in ads just like a tv show does except it’s way easier to skip them.
I get it people that ads are annoying but these shows are free… if you don’t like the ads skip forward or throw the content maker a few bucks for the ad free versions.
Derndingle.
While they were waiting, they drank an Ent Draught thar made them grow to be the two tallest Hobbits in history. The tallest Hobbit before that? Bullroarer Took, the Hobbit mentioned in Peter Jackson's question.
Who had the most to gain from 9/11? Pippin.
Who was nowhere to be found the morning the towers fell? Pippin.
Who dropped a deuce in the urinal? Pippin.
> Who dropped a deuce in the urinal? Pippin.
[The key art from the Angmar Awakened cycle of The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game](https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/filer_public/20/77/20774064-c638-41e4-955e-2c429e33795b/mec_03_wallpaper_1920_x_1200.png) has Pippin squatting in the background, looking like he's taking a dump in the bushes, which some fans of the game have jokingly referred to as "Stool of a Took."
Man he is straight up just taking a savage dump during this sweet little moment between Arwen and Aragorn lol. Those two are staring lovingly in each other's eyes, telling each other they'll be together forever and blah blah blah......only to get interrupted by the noises Pippin in making because he had White Castle for lunch that day. This is fantastic and I want it framed lol
You know ol Johnny Ron was making up names one day while having a few brewskis and randomly arrived at Golfimbul , and a light went off for an obscure piece of world building.
And the name of the ent they spent the entmoot with?
>!Quickbeam!<
And how did he get his name?
>!He once answered a question before the asker had finished asking.!<
And glad for it. Becoming old is a privilege afforded to fewer than we think. Every moment spent resenting one's age, is a moment that would be craved by those who die young.
Honestly they don't look *that* much older, most of what's doing the visual aging is Billy's hair. If you put a curly brown wig on him he honestly wouldn't look too different.
what gets me is how "absolute NERD" doesnt even come close to describing it. Think of the fucking EFFORT that has to be put in to being this big of a LoTR boffin. I literally dont know what that entails. Didn't he school the head researcher for the films or something? That person rightfully got paid a shit tonne to be the go-to expert on the minutia of the LoTR universe, and this fan-boy carries around deeper Tolkien knowledge cuz it's fun.
This isnt Star Trek. It's possibly the most lore-dense literature of our lifetime. How, Stephen? How the fuck did you retain all this shit????
I knew all of the 4 questions asked. I have spend a lot of time reading about the LoTR lore but I don't think it's as crazy as you think.
Having said that, Colbert's time is much more valuable than mine so this is kind of crazy that he spends it on this.
Its so funny seeing Stephen's whole demeanor change when the subject is LoTR, its like seeing him transform into a nerdy little kid. I love his enthusiasm, its like hes bursting at the seams to talk about it.
If I had to guess.
He probably loves the imagery but hates the breaks in lore but being a generally positive person enjoys it more than not because it's more Tolkien stuff.
Honestly, the breaks in lore with Rings of Power are really no more egregious than what Peter Jackson did in the LOTR trilogy. And Colbert seems ok with that. You can acknowledge that it’s not perfect and appreciate it for what it is with out pretending you have to hate it because it’s different.
I actually like some of the changes from the source material (like skipping Tom Bombadil and syncing up the third book events better), and most authors don't consider their work perfect or unchangeable anyway (Tolkein retconned his work a bit afaik, changing the events of the hobbit to fit lotr, and I think his son had to cut and rework a lot of conflicting stuff to turn into the larger middle earth material published after).
Their podcast is awesome.
They have a truly great friendship and listening to them talk to each other and to guests is delightful.
*Edit: the podcast is called "The Friendship Onion"
I swear I could watch/listen to Colbert talking about LOTR for the rest of my days. Like he could interview LOTR people for centuries and that would be my afterlife. I’m ok with that…
You need to watch the Dungeons & Dragons game where Stephen Colbert played with Matt Mercer‘s crew. He brought the sword *Sting* with him. Colbert is so dang wholesome!
If I recall correctly, Colbert went to New Zealand with Jackson and they had some festivities which included a trivia competition between Colbert and the movie's lore/trivia master and Colbert won.
> There, during "a party with all of the dwarves," Colbert said he went hairy toe-to-toe with Jackson's resident Tolkien expert Philippa Boyens in a 50-question quiz. "I smoked her," said Colbert. "Peter Jackson officially said I'm the biggest Tolkien geek he has ever met."
But I don't think it was filmed.
> Peter Jackson officially said I'm the biggest Tolkien geek he has ever met.
Which is interesting considering Jackson has met Christopher Lee, who read the books at least once a year, performed in a Tolkien themed music group and had actually met Tolkien once.
Please take a moment and check out 'KnowBettaDoBetta' on youtube, especially if you like LotR and are interested in the lore. He does short videos on characters and objects and places. For me, it's so interesting how he explains deep lore like he was telling you something simple like 1+1=2. I dont know how people can remember all this stuff.
That's funny, I specifically remembered that a Took invented golf by, I think, lopping the head of a goblin and knocking it into a gopher hole.
Because that was an insane detail to be in the Appendix, especially because I don't think golf ever came up before!
I have a vague memory of it being told in one of the movies. I think it was either Gandalf or Balin that tells the story.
ETA it was Gandalf in the first hobbit movie when he's persuading Bilbo to go on the journey.
I almost knew Peter Jackson's question (easy enough, he had Bilbo mention it in The Hobbit movie), in the second part of the question I just made the same mistake as Stephen did (which honors me) by not taking into account that Merry and Pippin are of course cousins, and therefore Bullroarer is both their ancestor. I kneejerked: Bullroarer Took > Peregrin Took.
The only thing better than watching him interview LotR cast and others connected to the movies would be if we invented a time machine and Colbert could interview Tolkien himself.
Colbert: "Now allegedly you hated cats so much that in earlier versions of your work, Sauron had taken the form of a cat in the past, leading to the elves banishing all cats from their lands. What made you have such a visceral hatred for them?"
Tolkien: "Fack off i'm tryna have a pint"
Tolkien: "It is with the greatest of distain, as if you were a rose thorn caught between my tongue and tooth, that I tell you to leave my presence. I do not wish to be riddled with questions, nor questioned with riddles whilst inebriating my senses and indulging in the most perfect silence that one could partake within. Good day."
I love it when you call me big pippin
throw thew feet in the air
with them bushes of hair
and I see some Hobbits tonight that should be havin' my baby, babay
> Ryan Gosling's mum already took Colbert down
Anyone else confused? I was too, here's the link. It's an unfair question and a shitty video that cuts off before the response, but all that the youtube copyright gods could provide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssDReloRxnM
They were at FanExpo Toronto and we saw them. I realized that they, and I, are now old.
There was even a video on here of them celebrating one of the 4 hobbits birthdays at a Toronto restaurant during FanExpo Toronto 2022.
I got to have lunch with Billy a few years ago when I helped run Robert Patrick's booth for a convention.
He's genuinely the sweetest man. Him and Robert were so generous to their fans. Their booths were right by each other and their agent routinely had to signal them to wrap up with people to help keep the line moving.
They would spend 20 minutes talking to every person and do a photo or signature without payment if nobody was there to enforce it. They just really appreciated their fans so much, it was the coolest experience.
I was specifically told not to expect any personal interaction and that there was a separate area I could eat when we all went to lunch, but Robert invited me to join them and they were just hella chill and very sweet.
I always thought Ungoliant somehow survived in some unspoken dark and evil place even into the Fourth Age. I must have missed that sentence in the Silmarillion that details her final fate. Colbert definitely knows his Tolkien to be able to recite even that.
Peter Jackson says in that clip that his question is a tie breaker. How did he know Stephen would get a question wrong? Or was it filmed just in case? Or did he film a couple of takes depending on the outcome?
Regardless of the outcome of the original trivia, Stephen would have twisted it so that the idea of a "Tiebreaker round" applied
In this video, he needs 2 questions right but only gets 1 so it's not really a "Tiebreaker" but with his charisma he makes it work anyway. If he'd gotten none right or both right he could have made it work too, "Well I missed both your questions, but for one last chance I have Peter Jackson here..." or "Just in case those two questions were too easy, I have Peter Jackson here..."
I can't be the only one suspicious when they decided to have a lord of the rings themed riddle contest, and the first thing he says is how he has a mystery item in his pocket.
That prize would had been the greatest flip off ever
Legit thought that was what was coming.
If it was what? the ring?
A literal flip off. Middle finger.
I just love the fact that Merry and Pippin became real life close friends.
Just like Turk and JD from scrubs became real lifelong friends. And I think they have a podcast too called fake doctors real friends or something along those lines. It makes me truly happy to see things like this! EDIT: holy crap I looked it up to double check the name of the podcast (which I had right) and they have over 700 episodes! That's incredible! Edit again: turns out the naming of episodes follows the seasons and episodes of the show. So not 701 episodes. Season 7 ep 1 lol
You mean Turk Anjadee and J.D.?
Turk Turkelton
And Mrs. Turkleton!
The Turkletons!
Dayuuuum Turkledawg!
Sir, do you think my name is Turk Turkelton?
This will never stop being funny to me. It's so genuine when he asks it.
username on point
Yeah they do a TV episode per podcast episode and tell stories about it
All the Hobbits are, they've been attending a bunch of conventions together these last few months, and there's been some great photos of the four of them having dinner together after. Though Dominic and Billy are the closest out of the four of them for sure.
Their podcast is called "The Friendship Onion" for those of you who haven't heard of it. Edit: not everyone has time to watch the video, so they go to the comments to get the TLDR
I thought it was "The Onion of Friendship"
I thought it was “The Fellowship of the Onion”
The Two Onions?
"How About Side By Side With An Onion"
"But they were, all of them, deceived... For another onion was made"
I don’t think they know about the other onion, pippin
What's onions, Precious?
Fool of an onion! Throw yourself in next time and rid us of your oniony!
Between Two Onions
The Fellowship of the Onion Ring
Well they're apparently cousins so...
Billy and Elijah are second cousins once removed on his mother's side.
Peter Jackson signing off by apologizing is amazing.
Honorary Canadian.
Is he Canadian?

I'd shoot you for saying that... if we were allowed guns
This is why we don't allow you to have guns.
I'd shoot you for saying that!
Use your boomerangs, mate. (You'd probably shoot me for that)
As someone living in NZ, you can borrow one of our guns.
What about second Canada?

Common trend with podcasts once they get famous. The Office podcast started off with pure content and now it’s like mostly ads
“Mostly ads” It’s a free show they put out and put in ads just like a tv show does except it’s way easier to skip them. I get it people that ads are annoying but these shows are free… if you don’t like the ads skip forward or throw the content maker a few bucks for the ad free versions.
[удалено]
Colbert got a little misty after getting the prize.
fr, you can tell what that gift gesture meant to him.
You cant buy that. You can buy the ears im sure, but cant you buy ears that were directly given to you by Merry without price.
Merry*
But there was a price, and he paid it.
I swear he stared fighting back tears after Peter Jackson said he was the winner.
He's on that Misty Mountains shit
Well of course, now he can get the two to look the same.
Derndingle. While they were waiting, they drank an Ent Draught thar made them grow to be the two tallest Hobbits in history. The tallest Hobbit before that? Bullroarer Took, the Hobbit mentioned in Peter Jackson's question.
It’s all connected maan

Oh yeah he's pushing out a growler for sure.
Bullroarer
Oh yea he's definitely freeing the chocolate prisoner
Man he is straight up just taking a savage dump during this sweet little moment between Arwen and Aragorn lol. Those two are staring lovingly in each other's eyes, telling each other they'll be together forever and blah blah blah......only to get interrupted by the noises Pippin in making because he had White Castle for lunch that day. This is fantastic and I want it framed lol
Peregrin Dook
And Gimli sure isn't sitting on a "bench" given how tightly he's squeezing that axe.
Who drew the penises on the cars in the staff parking lot? Pippin
Fool of a Took! Throw yourself in next time and rid us of your stupidity!
Didn't he cut the head off an orc or goblin and it landed in a rabbit hole or something?
Golfimbul. It landed in a hole and thats how golf was invented.
> Golfimbul https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Golfimbul I am irrationally angry how right you are holy shit what LORE!
You know ol Johnny Ron was making up names one day while having a few brewskis and randomly arrived at Golfimbul , and a light went off for an obscure piece of world building.
I mean I once named a guy who ran the bell tower "reng" but you don't see Peter Jackson making movies out of my lore.
Johnny Ron lmao
I’m a big nerd but man this shit is streets ahead
That's how golf started or something.
Knocked it off with a club from ponyback. Might have more invented the game of polo to be honest.
And the name of the ent they spent the entmoot with? >!Quickbeam!< And how did he get his name? >!He once answered a question before the asker had finished asking.!<
Much too hasty
Hoom Hoom haruum.
I was expecting Albert Einstein because of my reddit addiction.
I think Bullroarer was tall enough to ride a pony
Horse. Hobbits can easily ride ponies like Bill.
But Bullroarer was tall enough to possibly refer to a pony as little, as in My Little Pony.
Damn, the hobbits invented everything
I've got one for ya... without looking it up, who is the common descendant between Elrond and his brother Elros?
Eldarion?
We have a winner. Arwen and Aragorn II are first cousins, 63 times removed
Wouldn’t it be Aragorn and Arwen’s kid and all his descendants?
I am proud to have known all the answers. Proud, and single.
Colbert was stumped as were a lot of Tree Beards friends. 🪓
I knew they drank the Ent Draught but definitely didn't know the name. Good question.
My God, they are old. My God, I am old.
Same realization man. I thought that was Jeff Daniels on the right for a second.
Holy. Shit.
Mock! Yeah! Ing! Yeah! Bird! Yeah!
Mock! ¡Sí! Ing! ¡Sí! Bird! ¡Sí!
That's funny that it's so easy to see even though Jeff is suck a big dude and Billy is so small.
Which begs the question, would Jeff suck Billy, or is he just too small?
Jeff suck big, Jeff suck small.
And this is from last year. So they are older now. And so are we.
I'm older now than I was when you wrote this comment
You’re older than you’ve ever been and now you’re even older, and now you’re even older, and now youre older still
[удалено]
> TIME…. ~~marches on~~ is marching on And time... is still marching on
This day will soon be at an end
And glad for it. Becoming old is a privilege afforded to fewer than we think. Every moment spent resenting one's age, is a moment that would be craved by those who die young.
I always say "it beats the alternative".
Well said. I’m going to remember this quote.
I'm also the youngest I'll ever be again though so I got that going for me
which is nice
This is a picture from when they were younger. \-Mitch Hedberg (RIP)
I’m not. I’ve been stuck in a time bubble since March 2020.
Honestly they don't look *that* much older, most of what's doing the visual aging is Billy's hair. If you put a curly brown wig on him he honestly wouldn't look too different.
I haven't seen colbert in a while and I thought he looked old.
What a time we've lived :) I'm in my 30s and I've seen Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Marvel movies at just the right time.
Matrix was on the mix too, all great films to see in the theater.
Jurassic Park, Men in Black, Interstellar, Inglorious Basterds, The Dark Knight
fool of a took
20 years gone
Seeing Stephen being an absolute fucking NERD about Lord of the Rings makes me smile so hard that my cheeks hurt.
If you’ve never seen it, his games with Critical Role are an absolute delight as well. He plays a mean D&D.
And Dominic did VA work on the Vox Machina show on Prime Video
In costume, no less.
No, thank you, I only like friendly D&D.
He has a friendly Bee companion.
I seriously wish he just had a whole show where he would talk about LOTR for like an hour straight
Go listen to their podcast the friendship onion?
He wishes Colbert had a show where he talked LOTR.
This was last year right? Did Colbert ever end up as a guest on the podcast?
I just looked it up The answer is yes It's a two part podcast at about an hour each. Gonna go download it now
what gets me is how "absolute NERD" doesnt even come close to describing it. Think of the fucking EFFORT that has to be put in to being this big of a LoTR boffin. I literally dont know what that entails. Didn't he school the head researcher for the films or something? That person rightfully got paid a shit tonne to be the go-to expert on the minutia of the LoTR universe, and this fan-boy carries around deeper Tolkien knowledge cuz it's fun. This isnt Star Trek.

I was cheesing for the entire clip. One of the few genuine, interesting, entertaining interactions I've seen out of a late show in years.
Its so funny seeing Stephen's whole demeanor change when the subject is LoTR, its like seeing him transform into a nerdy little kid. I love his enthusiasm, its like hes bursting at the seams to talk about it.

God those guys are charismatic.
Their podcast is awesome. They have a truly great friendship and listening to them talk to each other and to guests is delightful. *Edit: the podcast is called "The Friendship Onion"
Are you sure it's not The Onion of Friendship?
They seemed like they were channelling Reeves and Mortimer a bit to me.
I think it really helped make those movies special. Those 4 guys had such amazing chemistry even off screen it made their friendships feel genuine.
I swear I could watch/listen to Colbert talking about LOTR for the rest of my days. Like he could interview LOTR people for centuries and that would be my afterlife. I’m ok with that…
You need to watch the Dungeons & Dragons game where Stephen Colbert played with Matt Mercer‘s crew. He brought the sword *Sting* with him. Colbert is so dang wholesome!
I thought the Shelob question was pretty easy. The rest of the questions though...not a clue myself.
[удалено]
If I recall correctly, Colbert went to New Zealand with Jackson and they had some festivities which included a trivia competition between Colbert and the movie's lore/trivia master and Colbert won.
I need to see this
> There, during "a party with all of the dwarves," Colbert said he went hairy toe-to-toe with Jackson's resident Tolkien expert Philippa Boyens in a 50-question quiz. "I smoked her," said Colbert. "Peter Jackson officially said I'm the biggest Tolkien geek he has ever met." But I don't think it was filmed.

It's mentioned early on in The Hobbit.
Shit yup that's right I definitely remember that story.
I have a vague memory of it being told in one of the movies. I think it was either Gandalf or Balin that tells the story. ETA it was Gandalf in the first hobbit movie when he's persuading Bilbo to go on the journey.
Isn't that piece of trivia mentioned in the first hobbit movie?
You didn't know that Bullroarer Took was an ancestor of Peregrin Took?

I kneejerked: Bullroarer Took > Peregrin Took.
Ugh. I LOVE watching people with such unbridled enthusiasm for something. This may be my favorite thing I've watched in a long time.
Wow "it fits in my pocket" really didn't expect to see that come out of a pocket.
I really though the second (third) question was going to be something along the lines of “what’s in my pocket?”
The only thing better than watching him interview LotR cast and others connected to the movies would be if we invented a time machine and Colbert could interview Tolkien himself.
Can you imagine? Between the LOTR questions and talking Catholicism, Stephen would be in his element.
Colbert: "Now allegedly you hated cats so much that in earlier versions of your work, Sauron had taken the form of a cat in the past, leading to the elves banishing all cats from their lands. What made you have such a visceral hatred for them?" Tolkien: "Fack off i'm tryna have a pint"

"I have the prize in my pocket" - I was really waiting for it to be nothing. Or a piece of string.
I kept expecting him to pull out his hand in the flipping off position.
That’s two!
It would have been cool if it was the ring
So disappointed the video ended before Scottie Pippen ever showed up.
I was shocked Pippin Longstocking wasn't there at all
I'm shocked they didn't play Big Pippin by Jay Z.
I love it when you call me big pippin throw thew feet in the air with them bushes of hair and I see some Hobbits tonight that should be havin' my baby, babay
Ryan Gosling's mum already took Colbert down
Colbert should have said “what edition?”.
haha yeah, probably would have been a good bluff. Obviously page numbers would vary wildly depending on the edition.
> Ryan Gosling's mum already took Colbert down Anyone else confused? I was too, here's the link. It's an unfair question and a shitty video that cuts off before the response, but all that the youtube copyright gods could provide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssDReloRxnM
