Billy and Dom - Twenty years later still acting like a box of puppies.
They are class acts!
Their energy is infectious. Love those two.
They're just a couple of kids who look old. I don't think they'll ever grow up.
That is the best description I've ever heard.
I think you'll find that the collective noun for a group of puppies is a basket.
I feel like Stephens entire career after lord of the rings has been his master plan to meet the entire cast and crew of those movies
Soundls like a relatable goal
If they haven't already, they should make him an extra in the Amazon LOR show.
Isn't that everyone's
AND collect souvenirs!
At this point, he could just ask, and all of them would make room in their schedules for a Colbert reunion.
I love how much Billy and Dom embrace their LOTRs characters so much in real life, even after all these years. As a fan, it makes me love them even more.
Let's also take a moment to acknowledge the sublime casting. (after the initial wobble). I cannot imagine any alternative actor in any of the rôles :)
To Angela Dawn's comment that she can't envision ANY of the LOTR actors replaced by anyone else. I AGREE!
And, I might add the I totally wish Ian McKellen could have played Dumbledore! He would have been spot on perfect!!
@@purplekat5864 I think Duwayne the Rock Johnson would be good as elrond.
@@gladepowderfresh wtf!?
@@mrvalski indeed Mr powderfresh
Can we get a talk show that is just Stephen interviewing LotR cast members every night?
Yes, please.
Yrs, yes, YES!
The best Colbert interviews are with guests he can nerd out with. Not just LOTR, but also sci-fi, D&D, and classic genre films.
That's basically this one, he has so many LOTR stars on it hahahahahaha
A year later, the LOTR show is set to air on Amazon soon ... I wouldn't mind an after show hosted by Colbert that includes the new cast and some of the old from time to time.
@@claytonmyers9739 Every LOTR book and film fans thinks the Amazon series is junk. Add to that, the cast and directors have said it's not really LOTR because they have changed so much of it and it's not for the actual fans but for people who are ignorant of the literature and will be Woked into believing this is how middle earth should be. And it's bombing big time too.
No matter how many decades pass, I will never ever grow tired of watching the LOTR cast and crew nerd out.
Pp⁰p
Now you made me cry...
Decades? Hold up how many have passed? Wait.....don't tell me I don't want to know.
@@basedsoothsayer ~20 I wasn’t even born yet lol
Its not NERDING FFS its called geek
I love how Stephen tries to act chilled...but he can't control his nerdy excitement
I wish he'd worn the ears in the next segment.
@WiLD CHiLD me neither, but this guy sure got me intereted in it
Hang on to those ears Stephen. If they aren’t worth a fortune now, they will be in 50 years.
@@LifenaDay525 I mean he’s already rich af with a lifetime show. Those are just important to him. He’s probably got such a collection going.
80 ORCS disliked This video. 😂😂😋😂😂😂😂
Love how comfortable Billy & Dom are with platonic closeness. Friendship goals
Merry and Pippin
@@greyngreyer5 Dommy and Billin
@@lindgrenland Jesus! It took you a month to get a like, you made me spit out my drink, it's so silly I love it
@@TizzmantineUK yeah life's unfair sometimes🥲 haha glad you liked it
@@lindgrenland Look at you now though
The fact that they're still such close friends is wholesome af
Even in his old days, 20 years after the movies, Billy Boyd still has that view of a mischievous little boy in his face that just planned something to drive you crazy 😂
the sheer joy in his smile and eyes is just glorious!
Makes me feel so old seeing him go gray.
This comment makes him sound ancient haha The man is only 52
Fool of a Took indeed!
@@Infyra yeah 😥
For anyone curious, their podcast is actually incredibly good.
what do you like about it? :)
They are funny on Instagram as well.
@@Kredeidi great natural chemistry and stories
it’s like a kids show for grownups, get that same giddy childlike joy every time I watch 🥰
Not surprised. They show great wit and camaraderie here!
The smile on Stphen's face as he recieves the prize is truly priceless
And the look from Billy at Stephen and Stephen’s teary eyes. Very sweet.
I thought they were going to mention that "Bullroarer's" real name was Bandobras Took. And that, in the Battle of the Green Fields, he knocked the chief goblin, Golfimbul's head off with a club. The head went down some animal burrow, and thus the game of golf was invented, and the battle won at the same time.
Rabbit hole, I think
@@meganofsherwood3665 I think so as well, but I wanted to post just from memory, so I didn't want to look it up to be sure.
Gotta say, I was pretty proof of myself, getting both names, as well as knowing both Pippin and Merry were descended from him (although I could tell you how!)
If the second question had been, ‘What happened at Derndingle?’ I would’ve been good. That was a great question!
he was so large that he could ride a real horse
That’s some interesting storytelling
the second question should have been: What has Dom got in his pocketses?
Great Easter egg!
"Lint, a mint...and some choice hobbit-leaf." 😏
Tricksy little hobbitses
That's what I expected
Handses!
So fun. I could watch Stephen answering Tolkien trivia all day. Just do a Tolkien trivia gameshow already, Stephen!! :)
I would watch that. Those questions werent easy, I was stumped about the location of the entmoot aswell!
100%! Stephen for Guest Host of Jeopardy! Tolkien Trivia Week!
After watching so many hours of Nerd of the Rings videos, I feel like I could take Stephen! Thanks for all the great videos!
@@narsil1984 I knew it wasn't right, but Wellinghall (Treebeard's house) kept popping into my mind.
@@Edub82889 Haha! Glad I could give you some nerdy confidence!!
Billy is pure delight and Dominic is just chaos on a stick. Love these two together!
I love how those descriptions perfectly fit their characters as well
I love how no matter what a LotR cast member is on to promote, Steven always manages make it ENTIRELY about LotR. lol.
But Dom and Billy keep embracing their past as Merry and Pippin, which is delightful
Jesus, Dominic hasn’t aged AT ALL. Looks as young as when he crash landed on that island.
He’s the new Jacob. 😉
And it wasn't even Penny's boat!
but he's beginning to feel stretched. like butter over too much bread.
Wonder how Claire and the Babby is
He's a smoker though and his voice has gotten really deep and gravelly because of it, you can really tell when you listen to the podcast
"If more of us valued Tolkien trivia and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world."
Stfu
wow...so true
there's not a word in elvish, entish or the tongues of men to describe how happy this altered quote makes me right now ;D
But if you hoard enough gold you never have to spend your gold, just take out loans against it and use those so you don't pay taxes either.
👍👍👍
I watched the extended DVD extras multiple times, all the way through. It always seemed to me that shooting the movies was a life changing event for everyone involved, but at the very least a highlight of their careers and/or lives. And when I look at Dominic and Billy having such a close relationship 20 years on, I know I was right. One can only wish to be a part of something this special at least once in their lifetime.
Them extras were just as good and emotional as the actual film.
@@brianlaudrupchannel 👍💯
Agreed 100% those dvd extras inspired me to be a filmmaker. Those films changed a lot people’s lives ❤️
I think its bc Mr Jackson created a safe environment for them and they all became like family. Plus they were kids and its easy to form strong bonds when youre younger. However, I dont see that reflected in the cast of Harry Potter? Not sure…
@@THEDOORIZCLOSED I think the two cases are completely different.
In the case of LotR, the (majority of the) cast spent 1.5 years shooting the three films back to back, away from their own homes, working and, essentially, living together in New Zealand. And then there were the yearly pickup shootings that had them return for a couple of weeks or even months, I'm not sure.
The HP movies were shot on tight schedules and in the UK, which allowed for the stars to commute from home, even. I don't think they had the time to form such deep relationships while working together.
But I haven't watched the extras for any of the HP movies. I definitely don't have insight into the behind the scenes stuff the same way I do with LotR.
I love how professional Steven acted when he didn't know the answer. There is nothing more annoying than a bad loser, and just because you can't know everything perfectly all the time (you're human, not a machine, after all) does not mean that you are not the biggest LotR fan that has ever walked the earth
And you know that question inspired him to re-read The Hobbit and the LOTR trilogy for the billionth time. Boyd was so proud that he was able to stump Colbert, I love them all so much.
@@acbutler42 fun fact: the lord of the rings is actually one book in three volumes! That’s why most copies are sold in a single volume (I own the 50th anniversary edition which comes as one, physical book {and with an introduction talking about this fun fact}) thought you might like to know 😊 I hope your year has been going well so far and that this small bit of knowledge just made your day a little brighter!
@@HelloThere... I'm only going into the more specifics because I'm sure Colbert would want me to. TLOTR is actually comprised of 6 books total, with two books each comprising one volume of the trilogy.
Fellowship:
Book 1- The Ring Sets Out
Book 2- The Ring Goes South
The Two Towers:
Book 3- The treason of Isengard
Book 4- The Ring Goes East
Return of the King:
Book 5- The War of the Ring
Book 6- The End of the Third Age
Thought you may find that interesting
@@NoahStew I do find that interesting! Thank you for your comment
He didn’t know the answer. What a loser.
Stephen looked really touched - clearly Dom gave him a personal collectable from the movies that he's kept for 20 years. I'd be touched as well!
- Oh, that was a kingly gift. - Yes.
Wouldn't suprise me though, if Dominic had a whole box of just used hobbit ears in his basement: 3 years worth of hobbit ears!
The hints definitely made me think it was one of the prop one rings
@@funoff3207 Too obvious.
U just can't get better authentication than a video of the character's actor physically handing them over w/ full knowledge & consent of the director of the movies! 😳😎
So ends the Age of Man when Colbert was stumped by a Took.
The Age of Hobbitses begins! ProudFEET!
**slumps feet on the table**
A fool of a Took.
All it took was a Took.
@@AtenRa aren’t hobbits a subset of man? So it’s still the age of man
Billy should've said "Fool of a Took", when Stephen didn't get the answer
But Steven isn't a Took...
6:33 them shouting “Ha ho!” “HA HEY” is the most merry and pippin thing I’ve ever witnessed, I swear-
Few things are more precious than Colbert's love of Tolkien.
@NoChance WithoutPasta The Silmarillion
The One Ring, perhaps xD
@NoChance WithoutPasta I doubt it can be made into a movie. It would probably have to be a tv series.
@NoChance WithoutPasta I think most people feel that way
@@Brundlefly2 that's a hard read.
I love how Stephen outnerds the nerdiest nerd. And look a his delighted boyish face for some used rubber ears that are 20 years old. Adorkable
@@nikolasdamien lol i've seen adorkable used around online for at least several years now. 😊
@@nikolasdamien That's possible. After all, "adorkable" is in fairly common use in more nerdy circles.
Those ears are probably worth thousands of dollars. But also priceless
To receive the energy contained in Dominic’s “HE’S GOT IT” at 1:48 after successfully achieving anything, no matter how small, would easily fuel me for another 40 years
Oh the joy on Billy's face as he announces "stumped by Pippin!" how could you not love that. lol.
#stumpedbypippin
Never seen Stephen stumped by a Tolkien question. Absolutely brilliant by Billy Boyd. Also you can see how much those ears mean to Stephen, he's always wanted props from the actual set and he just can't contain his excitement. Love to see it!
I'm not entirely sure he DID get stumped. Might've actually done that intentionally to allow for the Peter Jackson question.
@@ThisIsMego Nah I think he could have bet on the quation reagardless. He would have had several back up ways to get it in there since he’s a professional
@@MissCaraMint Agreed. I think if he got both questions right, he would offerd them a rematch of some sort trough peter jackson, an all or nothing kind of thing. He could have gotten both wrong, both right, one wrong and one right and that would still work.
@@amberanime Exactly.
They always ask him the easy questions anyway, because it’s his talk show and most of the guests don’t know that much trivia to begin with
I love that Peter Jackson got involved in all this LOTR nerdkerfuffle lol
Same, and now thanks to you I have a new word to play with.
A "nerdfuffle", if you will. 😁
Hello Janet! How are you doing?Hope you are fine and staying safe??
The joy all three of them have is so infectious. I am now addicted to their podcast.
2:22 “…I’m familiar…” **brushes hair** Stephen’s delivery is always killer.
Their faces when they realized they had possibly stumped him *chef's kiss* 3:15
👍👍👍👍👍
Stumped 🙃🤗🤣
All the better because it wasn't something you had to dig deep into Tolkien's rough notes or such to know.
Their face? His face, when he realized he didn't know it right off the bat!!!
@@debbiedoodiedandi - *Everyone* was '😯'...but for different reasons.
Their podcast is such a great listen. As a huge LOTR fan, there's something nostalgic and very wholesome seeing Billy and Dom maintain this friendship over the last twenty years. Doesn't feel forced or "put on", just two best mates shooting the breeze together. I'd highly recommend giving it a listen!
Having Eljiah on as a guest was great, and learning yesterday that Sean Astin is still excited to interact and play games with them was nice.
The whole cast seems to be genuinely fond of each other. It's really nice to see.
They were so perfectly cast, the lines between Merry and Pippin and Dom and Billy seem to blur more often than not!
Yes it’s wonderful!
Podcast name?
Seeing these two together takes me back to 2001 and being a 13 year old.
Just like seeing the movies in 1999-2001 took me back to 1979 and being a 13 year old embarking on a life of shameless Tolkien nerdery by reading the book for the first (but certainly not the last!) time.
Ohhhh those days....wonderful
I was 14 🥰
This is just so genuine and heartwarming. You can tell that all three of them have such a deep, shared passion for the series. It’s not forced or staged at all, just the kind of genuine joy that shows fandom at it’s most earnest.
They set him up with an easy one, then dropped derndingle on him!
Ooooh, #DropDatDerndingle, baby... 😏
It was actually a pretty easy question, Derndingle is a well known area in Lord of the Rings Online.
@@extensivity29 its quite an obscure one though, even if you're a big Tolkien fan
This interview should be prescribed by psychiatrists as an antidepressant. What a joyful bunch!
Their podcast is a whole therapy session
Seriously I had a goofy smile the whole video.
I love that after 2 decades, the lotr crew are still just as emphatically nerdy and in love with their time doing those movies
These guys are actually their characters! The excitement and energy they have is UNBELIEVABLE!
Seeing Stephen genuinely tear up at 6:34 is the most wholesome thing I may have seen this entire year. I love this man's love for LOTR. What an amazing video from start to finish!
Right?? His eyes got super shiny when he realized he was stumped.
I hope he didn’t think they were giving him their Leaves of Lórien. Those don’t fall idly.
that would only have been one prize
Looked like that's what he thought
@@michaelcieply9363 Pippin dropped his in Rohan so there would only have been one prize.
@@ba55bar But didn't Aragorn pick it up?
@@toschiworlds7212 he did. What happened to it after that isn't clear
0:56 This moment especially gives Merry and Pippin vibes ♥︎
Stephen is always so happy whenever talking about LOTR, and I love him for it.
At the theater, when Shelob made her appearance, the man sitting in front of me Screamed, climbed up his seat, backward and almost ended up in my lap!
Will never forget that.🕷☺️
Now that's some powerful arachnophobia.
I hope he was wearing his brown pants that day
@@zarasbazaar never underestimate arachnophobia!
Lol
Arachnophobia for you. They put the no into arachNOphobia.
I hate spiders myself, so for that part I just looked down.
Hope the poor guy didn't hurt you or himself doing that. He probably hated a particular scene from Desolation of Smaug.
I was actually a little shook there for a moment when Stephen got stumped. It's kinda like realizing your mom is also a human being, like realizing teachers don't know everything about the subject they teach. Not sure whether to feel relieved or a hint of weltschmerz here ;) you still rock Stephen
Hello Caroline! How are you doing?Hope you are fine and staying safe??
Watching nerds be nerds is always fun. It's even better when it's celebrities trying to stump each other on their nerdiness.
Dominic and Billy are like those two inseparable guys you wish you had in your friend group.
Stephen's unbound joy and absolute heart-filled excitement make me think I might be okay.
I think they sould call it: Lord Of The Onion Rings
That would be the singer Lorde. 😉
Trailer Park Boys coined that name years ago.
To steal a joke from Robot Chicken they could have Orlando Bloomin Onion as a guest
Stephen's pure joy at the end of this video is so heartwarming. He looks like he is about to cry tears of joy.
I love how it’s 20 years after Fellowship came out and we’re all just as into it
Dominic and Billy are EXACTLY who I needed to see rn and I didn't even know it before I saw this video. Thanks for the serotonin!
Same, verbatim!!
Me, too!🙋🏻♀️ I absolutely love them💝
Same here!
From the LOTR wiki: "The name derndingle means 'hidden hollow' in an ancient language of Men in Middle-earth."
I had to look up “Derndingle.” I didn’t know it. 😐🤔
i got the other 2 but not this
It sounds like slang for something naughty.
@@Synathidy it definitely sounds like something you shouldn't search on your work computer. I think I'm gonna get an email from IT now...
In old Entish it has many names. Longer too!
Sean Bean made it through this video without dying.
I can see them in a nursing home someday just horsing around like Merry & Pippin do 😆
The pure joy on his face when he got the prize is adorable!!!
nerdgasm
Hello Sarah! How are you doing?Hope you are fine and staying safe??
man it never fails to excite me just how much dominic and billy are actually friends
Colbert + LOTR is always gold! I need entire shows just on him answering questions with the LOTR cast!
I love Billy and Dominic being on the show!
Hello Tana! How are you doing?Hope you are fine and staying safe??
Had I been in the studio with this interview with these two guys, I probably would have teared up a bit at seeing them. These movies mean a lot to me.
Has anyone checked on Stephen? Is he ok after missing that question?
“Hush!” said Pippin in a terrible voice to all Bilbo's friends-and-relations, and “Hush!” they said hastily to each other all down the line, until it got to the last one of all. And the last and smallest friend-and-relation was so upset to find that the whole Expotition was saying “Hush!” to him, that he buried himself head downwards in a crack in the ground, and stayed there for two days until the danger was over, and then went home in a great hurry, and lived quietly with his Aunt ever-afterwards. His name was Stephen Colbert.
Right? That's a shocker!
He's rereading the entirety of Tolkien's works so that this never happens again.
@@PhantomNull13 I think he reads them regularly anyway. I don't know if he still does this (and we'll have to ask Evie to confirm), but he once said he listens to the books in audio form as he goes to bed.
@@EstebanJulianRamos oh, of course. But there's a Mordor sized difference between reading them for fun and reading them to learn everything there is to learn.
so glad the heir of "the inventer of golf" was appropriately portrayed by a Scotsman!
and that is full circle!
1:50 the chemistry of these two is still right on..!😍😍 even after 20 years😁
Hello Nami! How are you doing?Hope you are fine and staying safe??
Dom and Billy are simply adorable. They have great chemistry as friends and actors. I can imagine them playing mischievous twins somewhere in a film.
I dont care how old he gets Billy's giggle is always adorable.
I just watched the LOTR trilogy for the first time in my 23 yrs of life last week. I LOVE THIS.
It's amazing isn't it? No doubt you'll watch it many more times like the rest of us.
I'm 57, never saw any of them...
@@LawNerd24 all three films are within the top 14 of IMBD's Top 250 films. Tolkien created one of the greatest stories ever told and Jackson's films are a great adaptation! Give them a watch.
Welcome to the didn't watch lotr until you were 23 gang friend!
They still make me happy and I gladly acknowledge that I am an LoTR nerd. They have such fun together. And Stephen is just at his best when he is geeking out on all things Tolkien.
Hello Melanie! How are you doing?Hope you are fine and staying safe??
My GOD, this was priceless! And it is so sweet, that so many years later "Merry" and "Pippin" are still joined at the hip!
The joy on Stephen's face when he gets the ears made my day a little brighter
Ungoliant is actually an incredible story. A story of an abused creature that gets power but doesn't know how to control it. And as such ends up killing herself from the same power. She eats and she eats and she eats. Nothing will satiate her. And in the end, we don't know for sure, but some believe she ate herself as the last option. She eats the light of Arda, she is the one who truly destroys the trees. And morgoth is betrayed since he intended to betray her anyway
The way you tell it, it sounds like a superhero origin story!
@@lenkacfk7155 She is such a badass she would've defeated Morgoth himself if it wasnt for the pesky balrogs!
@@anna-zs3oy , is that in the Silmarillion, or one of the other books of tales? It may be time for a grownup-reread...
Where is that story ?? I don’t recall it
Gary Johnston:
OK, a limosine that can fly. Now I have seen everything.
Spottswoode:
Really? Have you seen a man eat his own head?
Gary Johnston:
No.
Spottswoode:
So then, you haven't seen everything.
Ungoliant:
Hold my beer.
I thought for sure Billy was gonna ask "where are the entwives"
It's incredible how deeply involved are people from all over the world into the story which considered by others as a simple fairy tale.
Because these are the stories that stay with you. That mean something. Even when you're too small to understand why
Love how Stephen is so unapologetically a Tolkien Fan, these are questions I could barely answer. Thank you Dom and Billy and of course the great Peter Jackson. Loved that Stephen got Stumped! #StephenGotStumped #LordOfTheRings
the Shelob question was easy if you know the Silmarillion imo but I didn't remember that it was mentioned where the entmoot was held (then again I would only know the German name for it too) and I do remember that it was a Tuck who invented golf and the story behind it but wouldn't have been able to name him even though hearing the name immediately rang a bell. As this is a TV show it could of course be just staged but even if it would be, I want to believe it is not.
"Sir Peter jackson" after the trilogy was such a success, New Zealand governor knighted Sir Peter. So, we now address him as Sir Peter. Pretty cool, huh.
Billy Boyd deserves more credit for his role as Barrett Bonden in the wildly underrated masterpiece that is "Master and Commander: the Far Side of the World"
These two together are fucking incredible. Can't wait to check out their podcast
The entire cast is incredible in that film. You honestly just feel like you're watching found footage of a British Royal Naval ship in the 1800's.
@@gigantisaurusrex6647 absolutely correct. I will say though as a rabid fan of the Master and Commander books, I was surprised to see Billy cast as Barrett Bonden, he doesn't really physically fit the description from the books, and I was so used to seeing him so recently as Pippin that it was a little jarring, but he nailed it, as did everyone in the movie.
If you haven't watched or read Master and Commander, do yourself a favor.
Absolutely. He and the actor that played Blakney were fantastic.
@@CS-er3ib there are so many actors in that movie I hadn't seen before and haven't seen since, which is a shame. Everyone in that movie was 1000% perfect. I can't believe I haven't seen Mr Mowett or Captain Pullings in anything since.
@@cleverusername9369 James D'arcy has had some pretty decent roles but for the most part you're right.
Should've asked him, "What happened to the Entwives?" 😄
From one nerd to another.. what a great interview. This makes my heart so darn happy!!
Hello! How are you doing?Hope you are fine and staying safe??
Sweet! That was very kind of Dominic to share his hobbit ears with Stephen.
I loved it. I absolutely love that Stephen nerds out over The Lord Of The Rings. And I absolutely love that all these years after the movies, he still thrills over LOTR guests, and is keeping LOTR in the light for everyone.
Hello! How are you doing?Hope you are fine and staying safe??
Awww I love that reaction from receiving the prize
When Peter asked the question about "Bullroarer" Took, I knew it right away but forgot his nickname of "Bullroarer" and shouted Bandobras instead lol
Yes I remember that from LOTRO. Bullroarer Took invented golf by hitting the head off a goblin king into a rabbit hole.
Me, too!
At the battle of Greenfields
And the goblin's name was Golfingen, hence the name "Golf."
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks Golfimbul
the only hobbit before merry and pippin large enough to ride a fully grown horse!
Me: "Man, they've gotten sooo old!"
*looks in the mirror*:😞
That hits hard 😭
Oh wow they were truly the perfect casting for Merry & Pippin
I totally thought it would be the ring, but Steven was overjoyed with the ears. How adorable!!
Stephen is truly the King Of LOTR Geekdom!
I'm so glad they're actually real friends
Oh my gosh! Seeing their shiny faces, hearing their voices, the quirky and sweet duo of LOTR! I LOVE THEM :)
Stephen!!! Wow........I am beaming from ear to ear. This is excellent. Thank you so much!
I love them so much. Pippin has such a warm smile. And Merry looks dashing.
This has to be one of my favorite episodes with guests in a long, long time
Stephen’s face when he won that epic prize lol! Merry handing him Merry’s ears?? Priceless
Stephen looked like he was about to cry hahahaha
Their friendship is my favorite thing in this whole world.
The best thing I've watched today. The absolute joy on Stephen's face is just priceless!
"So comes snow after fire, and even Stephen Colbert has his endings." 😂
The genuine joy of Stephen when he gets the ears is…wonderful!
They definitely are Marry and Pippin and I love it
I love how they hinted at a Ring but it was prosthetic ears instead.
I mean, they joked about it, but I don't think any of them thought it might be a ring, that would be too boring
I was half expecting him to disappear when he reached into his pocket.
I was expecting one of the questions to be "what have I got in my pocket" though
@@imnotmike Me too! Through the magic of TV (pre-recorded of course).
I never thought I'd see the day that Colbert can't answer a LoTR trivia
Apparently this sort of chemistry between Billy and Dom is why they were cast as Merry & Pip.
The way Peter talks is iconic and exactly how I imagine a hobbit would actually sound like
