And Bill O'Reilly WIll Play an Ogre?

No matter how the election goes, you may have this to look forward to: Stephen Colbert appearing as an elf (or something) in Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy.   The Hollywood Reporter has the scoop, noting that Colbert may have aced the audition, since he speaks "elvish."  Or maybe just Elvis.  He's a well-known Tolkien, this is true.  Anyway, there is also a chance he may play a dwarf, a hobbit,  or little philandering,  rightwing newt.
