Random Babble: Stephen Colbert as Frodo, Legolas and Gandalf; Interview with Smaug

Being a big fan of the work of J.R.R. Tolkien, Stephen Colbert has been part of the promotion of Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, helping to give the film that final marketing push as the film opens in theaters this week. To promote The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Colbert dressed up as Bilbo, Legolas and Gandalf for Entertainment Weelky covers, and also interviewed Smaug on his show The Colbert Report. The interview and magazine covers are humorous as would be expected, and also give us a funny look at the characters from the film. The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies opens in theaters on December 17th. Check out the interview (via Comedy Central) and the covers (via EW) below.
