James Franco Admits He's Playing a Character Named 'James Franco'

Emerald Catron — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 19:21:50 +0000

Okay, then. It’s settled. James Franco is a fraud. Sure, he was joking when he admitted it on ‘The Colbert Report,’ but … was he? Also, Stephen Colbert is probably unbeatable in a challenge of Tolkein trivia. Bonus: game of “Marry, Hit That, Throw a Pail of Water on Her.” Another brilliant interview from Stephen [...]

While we lament that Steve Carell isn't around anymore to play off of his former 'The Daily Show' correspondent, tonight will mark one of the best 'The Office' castings to date, when 'The Colbert Report' host Stephen Colbert drops by Dunder-Mifflin as Andy's old band-mate Broccoli Rob for the NBC sitcom's Halloween episode 'Here Comes Treble.'

Nick Romano — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 11:24:56 +0000

We're finding out a lot about 'The Hobbit' movie this week, thanks to the latest issue of The Hollywood Reporter. For instance, did you know Ian McKellen almost turned down the role of Gandalf for the next three Middle Earth-based movies? While all that's interesting to learn, our favorite 'Hobbit' fact actually pertains to a seemingly unrelated actor -- funnyman Stephen Colbert.

THR missed this little tid bit: the 'Colbert Report' host is obsessed with Tolkien. So much so, in fact, that he got to visit the set of 'An Unexpected Journey' in New Zealand, where -- get this -- he may or may not have shot a cameo appearance for the movie trilogy!

'Saturday Night Live' got a blast from the past over the weekend when it brought back the popular animated sketch 'The Ambiguously Gay Duo' for the first time in years.
