The Newest Zealander

Not long ago, Stephen Colbert finally followed up on his invitation from the New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to visit the country.  Given his adoration of All Things Hobbits, where the two trilogies were filmed, it was only a matter of time before he went.  And last week, his show broadcast highlights each night from his trip.

One of those segments concerned his idea to interest writer-director Peter Jackson to make a spinoff series, based on a tiny cameo extra part that Colbert played in one of The Hobbit movies -- The Desolation of Smaug.

This is the result.
