Stephen Colbert is one of my favorite people, celebrity or not. Mostly because we share a passion for Tolkien and sarcasm. He did a cameo in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug [insert my jealous remarks here] and Peter Jackson, director of Middle-earth films has called Colbert the “biggest Tolkien geek” he’s ever met. High praise coming from someone who made sure that small details from the book trilogy, like the standard Arwen’s carrying at the end of The Return of the King made it onto the big screen.
But back to Colbert.
Last weekend, as I was sipping on a Cumberbatch-approved gin and tonic at a ridiculous meat marketclub in San Diego, the DJ played Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” and played a video of Colbert dancing to it. Since then, I’ve youtubed dozens of Colbert videos because I just can’t get enough of the guy. So here’s a few of my favorites. Enjoy. Colbert is awesome.

Stephen Colbert rapping with Wayne Brady is pure gold.
