LOL I thought it was a reaction to Colbert politely holding Elijah's jacket, but now I'm reconsidering. On repeated watching I'm definitely sensing that some of those were disappointed awws.
Yeah, you could tell he was holding it back as best he could and using all his might not to squee, while geeking out on the inside, being the massive nerd that he is. And while they were on the subjects of tattoos, I'm surprised he didn't ask to see Elijah's Elvish "9" Fellowship tat... I'd be willing to bet a few bucks he really seriously wanted to. :) He was probably trying to be as calm and cool and professional as he could, but I personally think he should just let his geek flag fly and embrace it for the world to see... we geeks REALLY need it.
It would be a great thing for us geeks to have such a beloved public figure as a spokesman and ambassador, as we seem to be the only minority that people can get away with openly mocking without being called out for it. It's wrong to make insults about women, black people, gay people, etc, and if you do it you will rightly catch Hell for it. But if you make a cruelly mocking joke about shy, awkward virgin geeks living in mom's basement? Nothing at all. Being a painfully shy, socially awkward, romantically hopeless geek who has never found someone to share a loving relationship with is not a joke: *it's a horrible, soul-crushing, suicide-inducing pit of perpetual misery and depression.* (And it's regardless of orientation, as geeks can be straight, gay, white, black, male, female, and everything else.) Being a nerd isn't any more a choice than one's skin color or ethnicity, and it doesn't deserve to be the subject of ridicule and cruel jokes any more than being gay is... in fact, more and more researchers are coming to realize that "geeky personality" is actually part of the Autism Spectrum. Yet nerds are still pretty much the last minority group it's just fine to be cruel toward and no one will give you grief for it. People make such a big fuss about the "bullying epidemic" and wring their hands about it, yet they freely, openly engage in cruel mockery of the perennial favorite target of bullies: the shy, unathletic, socially awkward, romantically challenged geek. *Anyone* can be a nerd, regardless of skin color, orientation, gender, sex, ethnicity, etc, geekhood cuts through all other lines, yet for some reason we're like the universal target of everyone's derision. Maybe people consider it OK it's because it's still seen as being "our own fault" that we're shy and clumsy and socially awkward and bad at romantic connections and just bad at "fitting in" in general. When you can't manage to get many eloquent public faces for your group because being ineloquent and socially maladjusted is a huge aspect of your group's identity in the first place, it just doesn't make people feel any empathy for you or want to understand you. When most people see someone picking on a nerd, they don't feel a desire to help out, all they feel is a desire to join in. We're the universal "Other"; *everyone* knows it's OK to pick on nerds! Sorry about the rant, it wasn't actually directed at you. :)
Dorothy D In the books Bilbo lives indefinitely even after the ring is destroyed. Both Bilbo and Frodo head across the sea with the last of the elves and Gandalf.
niklas jensen The ring bearers are the only mortals that were offered a place in the undying lands, so that includes Bilbo and Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee. If I remember correctly it was to help heal them from the dark magical scar that the ring left on them. Sam left in his later life after Rosie, his wife, died. But there’s one more mortal from LOTR that’s actually gone to the undying lands, Gimli. After the ring was destroyed he and Legolas went traveling together for some time before Gimli went to start a dwarwen community in The Glistening Caves and Legolas went with some of his people to heal and grow an area of forest close to Mordor. When time came for Legolas to leave Middle Earth his strong friendship with Gimli prompted him to offer Gimli to come with him to The Undying Lands. Gimli accepted and they built a boat and sailed across the sea. It is however unknown how the arrival of Gimli, a dwarf, was handled as the only other person to travel there without an invitation would have been killed in arrival had it not been that he came on behalf of elves, well elves and men, but elves are the important ones in this case.
Love how the crowd whoops when Elijah says he's going to show his tattoo only be overtaken by sighs of disappointment when he merely rolls up his shirtsleeve!
I think he means a little flowery like "overtaken by sighs" and using "merely". It's a nice sentiment, but not necessary and comes across as flowery writing. I agree it was a funny moment. Nerd tattoos! ;)
I get what Elijah was saying. We all have a path for ourselves but it will only be fulfilled if we act on it. I don't know if I believe that but I definitely understand what he was saying.
I haven't liked a series this much in a long while! It's a lovely and very well written show. I literally all comes together in the end, every little detail is significant!
Thank God he pulled out and re-buttoned the sleeve of his shirt after putting it back on under his jacket. Otherwise my OCD would have gone off the charts.
Dirk Gently was a surprisingly good watch. I would recommend it to anyone who is on the fence about watching it. You have no idea what's going on for about the first 3 episodes, but it's still entertaining, so you want to keep watching it. I knocked it out in two days haha
I appreciate both of these men in the world so much. I agree wholeheartedly with Elijah- some things happen for a reason, but we live on a planet where free will is also an inevitable factor in how things go down.
"i believe in fate with the ability to change your own life" i thought that sounded kinda familiar, so i followed my hunch and its because in the first season of dirk gently, dirk says to todd "look, just because you know youre playing a game doesnt mean you dont choose your moves." i dont know if it was elijah's belief before the show or not, but something about that just makes me smile. like the entire cast has this connection (pun somewhat intended) to the show thats different than other shows. god i miss dirk gently so much.
OH GEEZ, please have a 1 hour or longer special, where Stephen just talks about LoTR with Elijah, and maybe other cast members as well? That'd be awesome!
Wait. So the guy who is in Episodes, a show about a show that gets transferred to the US with the star changed, is also Dirk Gently - a show that is being transferred to the US with the star changed.

Can we talk about the disappointed 'aww' when he rolled his sleeve instead of taking off his shirt
I thought the aw was an “aww cute” aw because Steven very nicely folded his blazer over his arm.
LOL I thought it was a reaction to Colbert politely holding Elijah's jacket, but now I'm reconsidering. On repeated watching I'm definitely sensing that some of those were disappointed awws.
@@carolynvanasse3664 That's what I was 'aww'-ing at, he was so professionally considerate with it
everytime I see him I get tripped, because he looks like he'd be English, but he's not, and I sit shook for a bit.
ThatTVaddict you explained my thoughts exactly. Still sitting shook.
@@waykool698 yep same here. been sitting shook this quarantine season
Collidingeorges are you replying to something that someone said that has now deleted it? Otherwise I don’t understand lol
@Jeff, the God of Biscuits or his face. Like Timothee Chalamet, he has this face that looks like a greek statue came to life.
Mad respect to Stephen's self control: he managed 6:53 in an interview with Elijah Wood before he mentioned LOTR! 😅
Stephen wouldn't take a free tattoo, but Elijah Wood
Get out.
Lmao
Stop it
Ha!
Ba dum tiss
it took 7 minutes for stephen to bring up tolkien 😮
At the 8 second mark, he sort of referenced Tolkien in Elijah's intro when he said the actor has been in some of his favourite movies.
He held it in as long as he could.

@@lucialu833 I can't reply for Pyro but as an avid LOTR fan, I can say that yes, that is in the books, specifically the final book in the series.
I love the guests that pay attention to the band, they are so great and deserve the acknowledgment!!
he looks like that kid in Back to the Future 2 in the 80's retro cafe!
Dimitri Bitu you've got to be joking
He is! lol

@@cy8491 obviously
Bcuz he is 😂 lmao
Homeboy hasn't aged in the last 15 years
He still has the ring
sv 93 It's the short people effect.
My 5 year old self is still crushing on his beautiful face 😂😍
He hasn't aged a day..........
lol , yes he has.. Let's see how close he looks to how he does in this video when is 39 and 40
Elijah's laugh is wonderful.
Yes Frodo laugh
he is so handsome omg
Elijah is so charismatic I love him
I love the audible groan from a woman at 2:04 when he goes for the sleeve instead of taking off the shirt 😁
"Ohh :C"
Knew he wouldn't be able not to mention LOTR XD.
Love how the crowd whoops when Elijah says he's going to show his tattoo only be overtaken by sighs of disappointment when he merely rolls up his shirtsleeve!
Rubyet Stirling lotta big words there 😂😂😂
Like... disappointment? Shirtsleeve? Help me out buddy, I'm grasping at straws here. ;)

His LotR tat is on his belly
Great chemistry between these two.
Daemus_TV and my ding-a-ling
Stephen has great chemistry with anyone related to LoTR.
His appearances on Craig furgeson are super rad too.
@@cheesecakelasagna Stephen is a huge LOTR fan 👍🏼
Agreed. Fun to watch!
As a short man myself, Elijah Wood and Daniel Radcliffe are such amazing role models. Their confidence is incredible, their success is inspiring.
Oh wow. That Lord of the Rings reference at the end. The music started playing in my head. "The end of all things" by Howard Shore.
and the tears flowed

His eyes emit their own lens flares, I swear to god.
thats eyes of some people who drink a lot of alcohol or use drugs many times ;)
@@oidana Go watch Back to the Future 2, he always had those eyes.
Important feature of Frodo in my opinion.
@@Sambubdo yes
His eyes are amazing.
Elijah’s always a great guest on any show! Always seems so grateful and happy to be there.
I get what Elijah was saying. We all have a path for ourselves but it will only be fulfilled if we act on it. I don't know if I believe that but I definitely understand what he was saying.
"I'm glad you're here with me, Matt, here at the end of all things."
Elijah: "O HAI STEPHEN"
What-If Machine 😂😂😂
Obviously Colbert is just constantly quoting LOTR.. It just so happened that EW was there this time. Lol
Man Daniel Radcliffe looks great
Salt PFFFFFFFT
Please explain your sarcasm, I am too dense to get the joke :)
there's .gif that morphs their faces together and it's terrifying
LOL, for some reason they have the same energy or aura too if i might say.
Ah, thank you
Somewhere out there, there is someone who can say "I've tattooed a rubber chicken on Elijah Wood" :P
and no one will believe them
Awesome comment Cath
His eyes are out of the world, the laugh at the end, he's such a child in adorable way
I love that 'aw' of disappointment when Elijah went for the sleeve rather than the center buttons.
He does so many interesting things just casually. I wish I was so chill.
I haven't liked a series this much in a long while! It's a lovely and very well written show. I literally all comes together in the end, every little detail is significant!
He looks the most purest being in this world ❤
Love Elijah Wood mostly because he never ages. The guy is 35 yrs old and looks 22. Come on!
Srbog1 it’s cuz he still owns The Ring
I love Elijah's beliefs. There is something very beautiful about his inner thoughts.
I love this guy very humble and kind no matter how douche people are around him.
Thank God he pulled out and re-buttoned the sleeve of his shirt after putting it back on under his jacket. Otherwise my OCD would have gone off the charts.
Paolo Olavere you too???? I was so relieved
Paolo Olavere lmfao
I don't think going off the charts would help your condition...
Pussies
Paolo Olavere Don’t pretend like you have ocd
I love the way Wood jumps when he laughs. He and Colbert talk so easy, like their just chatting at the cafe.
Those eyes
Big blue
Elijah Wood is really cool. I love Wilfred.

I love guests that acknowledge Jon Batiste and Stay Human
When we have direction, we align ourselves with people who will help get us there.
I love seeing Elijah laugh with his whole body
LOTR brings all the coolest people together. Their tastes overlap, their intelligence is high, and their conversation, fascinating.
This is like a quirky modern Sherlock Holmes
That's exactly what I was thinking!
thats EXACTLY what it IS.
Or as Hannah Marks said "Sherlock Holmes on crack with a corgy."
A weird mix of Sherlock and Don Quijote
Elijah Wood and Stephen Colbert is one of the best interviews on the planet.
I'm straight, but man I'd kiss his face!
Elijah Wood is a babe
baby*
+Ricky Lol. Do you know his age?
his age number is "google it"
Heck yeah he is
He's on my list of actors I'd love to meet cuz he just seems so cool
He has the loveliest laugh ever!! Instant serotonin release!
I have often used Dirk's method of driving.
It has yet to fail me.
Can't wait to see this tv series
FRODO!!!
_Take the ring to Mordor, you will._
into Mordor, walk in simply one does not
My sword, you have.
It´s mr. Frodo for you!!!
Oh, Sam.
I loved the disappointed sigh when he rolled up his sleeve instead of taking off the shirt.
Please make a LOTR super geek-intense special.
“The ring granted him unnatural long life..”

What a couple of genuinely, likable people.

Makena Tremblay It's a joke as Daniel Radcliffe looks extremely similar to our man Frodo.
Makena Tremblay You ruined it!! 😢
Daniel Radcliffe and Elijah Wood don't look ANYTHING alike!
He's elijah wood not Daniel Radcliffe.. He playing at the Lord of the ring not Harry Potter. For me elijah more better than Daniel Radcliffe.. Sorry
I don't think I could handle direct eye contact with Elijah.
Tammy Stratford Lol! It’d be tough, but I’d “suffer” through it.
OH GEEZ, please have a 1 hour or longer special, where Stephen just talks about LoTR with Elijah, and maybe other cast members as well? That'd be awesome!
Awww.. Elijah Wood! One of my former childhood celebrity crushes growing up. ^_^ He's always seemed like such a nice guy. :)
Why isn't Elijah In the MCU yet? The gathering of the juggalos gives free tattoos as well. Pretty awesome.
"when I hear the words _free tattoo_ I think hepatitis"
I just want to be friends with Elijah Wood 😏
neverbackdown123123 😅
I like how all the ladies wanted him to take his shirt off.
“they do indeed” is such a hobbit thing to say. 😭
This man literally doesn't age!
Damn he makes Stephen look like a giant, PS. how the hell is he 35 if he wasn't famous he'd get refused at bars and off-licenses.
Everybody thought he was going to take off his shirt and then when he rolled up his sleeve the audience went "oh...." :-(
That kaiju tattoo is tight!
@Eric Occcams5 ..yeah he knows. Thats a kaiju
I'm 100% sold on this watching this show now, loved the end "things happen for a reason"
I like how Elijah matches with the couch he sitting on. If he had lay on your stomach on the couch he would be totally camouflaged.
Elijah Wood has been in great movies and tv shows.
Still has long way to go.
"Mr. Frodo?!"
You won, because I am a year too late...
Those tattoos are insane !! I can't believe he did it
One of my most enduring celebrity crushes. I've liked him since he was a kid in Huckleberry Finn. I was a kid too.
Woah, that's Elijah's speaking voice? It's more... precise, than I was expecting. A true thespian!
Elijah is super adorable.
Elijah's voice is finally changing.
Ven vill you vear vigs?
Do u vear vigs?
Have you vorn vigs?
Big blue eyes
best fucking comment out there
Dom's fake accent kills me everytime 😂
Am I the only one entertained by Elijah Wood flexing his biceps to try and make the kaiju on his tricep dance?
aaahh! Elijah wood is so beautiful!!
5:46 His look of absolute incredulity XD
Another Sherlock Holmes rendition!
He is a cool dude. I noticed he has very good eye contact in his conversations.
Dirk Gently is actually an amazing and wild show though 👍🏽
Elijah is such an amazing guy
Colbert sits awkwardly close to his guests but I like it
BIG BLUE eyes... Who knows that? 😂
Given these harsh interest rates, I would sell the One Ring if I were Frodo rather than throw it into Mount Doom.
You can tell Stephen is such a huge fan trying to play it cool in front of Elijah
I'm amazed Steven looked at his tattoos without asking to see his Fellowship "9" tattoo.
I seriously wanted to see it too. I don't think any of the fellowship have EVER shown it.
nice interview. very pleasant. no glitches. 👏
Omg he is so beautiful and his voice is THE BEST
The ending was awesome.
I read the book. There's another called "Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul".
I love the book, and I love the TV show, and they have almost nothing whatsoever to do with each other xD
How is he 35?!
well he was born at the time it takes to be his age..
shoorveer singh
Just Ring
I agree with Elijah. Fate and free will don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
he's so lovely!
Wait. So the guy who is in Episodes, a show about a show that gets transferred to the US with the star changed, is also Dirk Gently - a show that is being transferred to the US with the star changed.
