My mother absolutely loved the LotR movies, and when the extended release versions came out there was never a time I was at her place that didn't have one of them playing in the background. She died about 2 weeks before the extended RotK came out, and I got her copies of the first 2. And so, once the 3rd was released, I spent my initial grieving period in bed, watching all the extended versions + all the supplemental stuff on the DVDs. And now, every year on the anniversary of her death (this coming Monday, in fact), I watch all 3 of them while I put up holiday decorations and cook her vegetable soup recipe.
Stephen and Kumail impressing each other with their nerd knowledge and paraphernalia. Thoroughly enjoyed the conversation even without understanding most of it.
@@alainleblanc8007 Kamal and Stephen: _"Yeah let's get the kids together for a playdate, they'll have a good time!"_ . Actual Playdate: The kids sitting in same room on their phones ignoring each other while Kamal and Stephen talk and nerd out with action figures 😂😂
I expect a correction from Stephen with a lengthy explanation that Gothmog was not in fact the lieutenant of Morgul who participated in the attack on Osgiliath, but the lieutenant of Morgoth who participated in the attack on Gondolin.
I’m just wondering howTolkien knew that Bill Russell deserved an entire book series prior to achieving any of his 11 championships… Dude had ALL the rings by the time he finished
I loved Kumail and Emily's podcast (Staying In with Emily and Kumail) that they did during the pandemic, lots of great nerd talk there about movies, etc.
Fun fact: Kumail voices an orc in shadow of war (a lord of the rings video game) I remember playing once and randomly hearing his voice pop up and getting so confused.
I met him and his wife Emily at a little bar in Boston years ago after he did a set, and they were the nicest people. I get the sense the well-deserved fame and fortune have not changed him.
Damn, all Sephen's nerding out makes me want to meet him! As a huge Tolkien fan of 15 years and counting, we could absolutely smoke each other on obscure trivia.
"I'm glad that you're with me, Kumail, here at the end of all things." What a compliment!! What a fun line for us LOTR fans.
Every segment where Stephen gets to talk about LOTR is automatically amazing.
“You would make a good Samwise,” might be the highest compliment that Stephen can give you.
Truuuuu
I would melt

Wahlahi, thats what i am saying
Look how excited Stephen is whenever LOTR COMES UP, like a little boy I love it
I totaly agree bro
We all need to see a video tour of Stephen's LOTR collection. Please.
Yes!
I always like Colbert a lot better when he's talking about things he likes with people he likes.

One of my favorite late night guests. Always a joy to see him.
The LOTR fandom in this interview is palpable. I love it.
As an Action Figure collector I'm loving this interview!
me at 8: im too old to be playing with toys
me at 26: watching two grown men play with action figures
lol, they should arrange a play date. 😂

@@ChineduOpara actually adorable
When he said Kumail would make a good Samwise, the guy looked so flattered. It's an amazing compliment.
"You can hold Gothmog, while you do it" - I'm dying 😆
I love the ones where Colbert gets to geek out with his guest. It's always so much more genuine and fun
😂 Could listen to LOTR talk alllll nite 💕👍
This is the best nerdathon ever.
I expect a correction from Stephen with a lengthy explanation that Gothmog was not in fact the lieutenant of Morgul who participated in the attack on Osgiliath, but the lieutenant of Morgoth who participated in the attack on Gondolin.
Two characters with the same name
Well there's Gothmog the Orc who was in fact that lieutenant at Osgiliath and Gothmog the Balrog, Lord of Balrogs

I feel better about watching the LOTR movies every fall. I used to read the books every fall since the 70's( yes I'm old!)😏
Kumail playing Eugene Levy's son is going to be a thing... a very very funny thing...😉
I really really REALLY want a tour of Stephens lotr memorabilia now
5:45 “😲😐😮😶 -it’s not important that you _drink from them!_ It’s important that you _have_ them!”
This talk of LOTR went much smoother than when Serena claimed she was a "huge fan", and didn't know any of the lore.
We need a compilation of stephen geeking about LOTR!
Directed by Peter Jackson
Love of the Rings: Stephen's energy goes to 11 when The Lord of the Rings comes up, you can see the switch go off. 3, 2, 1, BLAST OFF 🚀
He has turned himself into such a gorgeous man. That, on top of his wicked humor makes him walking Kryptonite.
Wow, these guys are serious LOTR geeks. And that's great 👍
He has a movie called The Lovebirds that reminds me of those old school 80s chase type movies. I love it!! It is one of my favorites.
"woooow" I feel like Kumail does not know Stephen *at all* 😂 - OF COURSE Stephen knows every character & detail from LotR !
I loved Kumail and Emily's podcast (Staying In with Emily and Kumail) that they did during the pandemic, lots of great nerd talk there about movies, etc.
I love LOVE the action figure & LOTR talk, soo cool 😎 👌 😍 😀 😄 🙌
I’m gonna need Stephen to take pictures or do a video of his LOTR collection!!!
Fun fact: Kumail voices an orc in shadow of war (a lord of the rings video game) I remember playing once and randomly hearing his voice pop up and getting so confused.
His voice acting in that game was so bad lmao. Immediately takes you out of the game
And just like that, he slices Samwise to his core, “… who would not have an egotistical approach to service, and have a sweet heart.”
"I love you, Prismo"
- Jake
I'd like to see Stephen give a relaxed tour (a couple of hours, maybe more) of his Lord of the Rings collection.
Hottest most under utilized actor in both Marvel’s Eternals AND Star Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi. Disney wasted him twice -_-
Don't know why, but I am very happy for Kumail's success.
Liked him and Emily ever since the Indoor Kids show. Amazing to see how far he has risen.
I met him and his wife Emily at a little bar in Boston years ago after he did a set, and they were the nicest people. I get the sense the well-deserved fame and fortune have not changed him.
SAME! I annually watch the extended LOTR movies in Dec (usually a snow day or rainy day). Oh, I take up a full day lol.
I have ABSOLUTELY no idea why I'm tearing up over the Samwise 'I'd take a bullet for you' bit. But I am. ❤️
If you see someone struggling to make snowballs you stop and help them make snowballs!!
Dear CBS, please let Stephen do a show-and-tell segment of his LOTR memorabilia.
God I love Kumail!
I'd love to see MTV's Cribs come back just to see famous people's collections of nerdy shit
Just two nerds gets into talking about talking about their fav franchise is what i love to see, no bullshit just love.
You see the shift when LOTR stuff came up
"I'm a little old for _He-Man."_
Oh dear.
5:31 I’m officially asking for a tour of Stephens LOTR collection. Please share with us, would love to see it!
I could listen to Stephen talk to people about LotR all day
Damn, all Sephen's nerding out makes me want to meet him! As a huge Tolkien fan of 15 years and counting, we could absolutely smoke each other on obscure trivia.
Am I the only one noticing how Stephen every now and then scans his guests when they are going up the steps?
Kumail is an absolute rock star. He's amazing.
*I love that they both immediately nerd-out over L.O.T.R.!* @5:07
I wish we could see the full uncut interview between them!
that movie clip though 😱
Keep winning, fellow brownsman! 😍
Still funny and so so geeky! All the best Kumail!
I too with my family watch the LOTR Extended Edition for Christmas/New Years hahaha
Stephen just out nerded him when LOTR came up🤣🤣🤣
Old pigeon pockets! He brought that bit back from storage.
Lmfao, this makes me feel so much better chasing down Atlantis the Lost Empire stuff. Figures, books,mugs ect lol
I love when it gets extra nerdy and loses some of the audience lol
I know NOTHING about LOTR but I always love to hear Stephen geek out about it with all these weird fantasy names lol
Love that show.
The tempo of the conversation INSTANTLY shifts. lol.
This is high quality male bonding. I feel privileged to have witnessed it.
My husband and I love to watch the extended edition AND special features each Thanksgiving/ Xmas. Until children.
Stephen Colbert kumail nanjiani the wild true story awesomeness job
And just like that, Stephen made a new best friend - lol
idk anything abt lotr but i can relate to the excitement of making hyper specific references with someone who understands hahaha
As an action figure/ prop collector... I feel vindicated.
Kumail: I have some LOTR action figures as well
Stephen *Heavy breathing in elvish*
I'll always tap on the thumbnails where Stephen is breathing fire.
We need to campaign for a Bollywood LOTR starring Kumail as Samwise
I'll never stop seeing him as Dinesh so it's weird to see he's a cool guy because of all the times Gilfoyle pissed on him
where can i find this footage
@@arvinbuenaagua5161 Silicon Valley, the greatest tech show ever made
I love Kumail
reverse magician 😂😂
So handsome!!! 😍
I'm here for it 😂😂
Handsome Squidward makin moves! ♥
Amazing :D
Poor Evie! 😬 lol
What. A. Guy.
He should have mentioned he played an orc in Shadow of war.
Stephen outdorked Kumail savagely!
They lost half if not three quarters of the audience after a while 😂
Sadly, I was following along all too well 😅
Lmao, I thought they were talking about Gothmog, Lord of the Balrogs in the First Age. But I guess they are not THAT much of a nerd after all :P
okokok…. I will try watching LOTR again, geez
Give me Kumail!
Watch Kumail in Tubbin With Tash, funny
Wolf's head? Does he mean Grond?
That's what I thought of as well
He was imitating Gothmog saying it 🤓
@@fvkijay don't you mean what weinstein was saying?
@@arrow2589 Who?
Is he up for the daily show job? He would be awesome!
Yes!
Brooklyn pigeons are known as street chickens. Don't judge
Samwise? Nah, Kumail should be Frodo or Celeborn. Maybe Aragorn. Or Bilbo would be hilarious.
Three People Nine Cups
ah, nerds of a feather...larp together
Yeah He-Man
Get a room!! Lol
I could literally watch this for hours. Funny, attractive, smart geeks being massive dorks is my porn.
Not my thing so that was another foreign language to me.
sound, music, news can kill you? with movie and television film?
