5. Stephen Colbert Goes Method for Hobbit Comic-Con Panel
Who knew the late-night host was such a fan-boy? Stephen Colbert moderated the last "Lord of the Rings/Hobbit" Panel while dressed in full costume this week.
The panel was extra special for those involved, since the final film in the "Hobbit" trilogy, is out this December. With no more Tolkien books to film, it could mean the large interconnected group of "Hobbit" and "Lord of the Ring" crew members might not be at Comic-Con for a while.
But Colbert has made the most of his connections to Peter Jackson. He will make a cameo appearance in the final "Hobbit" film this December.
