Stephen Tyrone Colbert is an American political satirist, writer, actor, comedian, and television host of Comedy Central's The Colbert Report and CBS's The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. He had a cameo in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug as one of the Laketown Spies.[1]
Tolkien scholar John D. Rateliff has suggested that Colbert has offered a formerly unrecorded piece of scholarly insight into The Lord of the Rings, by the latter's suggestion that "Gandalf knew Frodo would fail in his quest to destroy the Ring, because he'd seen with his own eyes that Frodo could not throw the ring into his own fire at Bag-End".[2]
