Stephen Colbert may be the wildly successful host of a popular late night talk show on a major television network, but that doesn’t change who he really is: a huge nerd. Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson said of Colbert, “I have never met a bigger Tolkien geek in my life.” The Late Show host appeared in The Desolation of Smaug and hosted a Hobbit panel at Comic-Con. But his geek cred is not limited to Middle Earth. Last night, Colbert delivered an impassioned prediction of how Star Wars: The Force Awakens will end, and the funniest thing is, he wasn’t joking.

You probably didn't realize you needed to watch Stephen Colbert dance to the entirety of Daft Punk's 'Get Lucky,' but you do. It certainly doesn't hurt that some of his friends show up, especially when his friends include Hugh Laurie, Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and Bryan Cranston.

If you have not yet heard of KTVU's terrible gaffe, they are the news crew responsible for incorrectly reporting the pilot names of crashed Asiana Flight 214 as 'Sum Ting Wong', 'Wi Tu Lo', 'Ho Lee Fuk' and 'Bang Ding Ow'. Stephen Colbert points out they were racist in doing so; those names are all Chinese.

Tolkien fans around the world are preparing for the December 14 release of 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' in many different ways.  Some have gone back to painstakingly watch Peter Jackson's original 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy (even if it takes place afterward), while others continue gluing their own hair to prosthetic feet in preparation for attending the release in costume.  But how is life

This must be the week for late night talk show hosts disguising themselves. First we had Conan outside of ‘Today,’ and now we have Stephen Colbert at Occupy Wall Street. The ‘Colbert Report’ host dressed as revolutionary Che Guevara and went to the protest location earlier this week.

Earlier in the year, Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon declared each other best friends for only six months. On ‘The Colbert Report’ last night, they reveled in their affection for each other, but suddenly realized their friendship should have ended almost two weeks ago.

If you haven't heard of Ben and Jerry's latest talk show inspired flavors, you have to read this. Stephen Colbert has his flavor 'Americone Dream' and Jimmy Fallon just this week got his own flavor 'Late Night Snack'. The two are not so happy about sharing the spotlight with their exclusive flavors and Fallon makes a hilarious appearance on the Colbert Report as the two duke it out.
