View fullsize

This has been a big Hobbit week for Stephen Colbert! First we saw him portraying some Hobbit characters on the cover of Entertainment Weekly magazine. Then there was that epically awesome interview he conducted with Smaug the dragon, which I think is one of the greatest interviews ever conducted. Now today we bring you a few new photos of Colbert as Legolas, Bilbo, and Gandalf, as well as a behind-the-scenes video of the photo shoot. This is all done in preparation for the release of Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies, which comes out on December 17th, 2014.

Check out Stephen Colbert behind the scenes at his 'Hobbit'-themed cover shoot. Watch as he transforms into Bilbo Baggins, Legolas, and Gandalf. He's stoked. See the rest at http://www.ew.com/hobbit.
