Stephen Colbert surprised fans during the Hobbit: Battle Of The Five Armies panel at SDCC when he took to the stage dressed as a lake-town spy.
Colbert has long been open about his love for J.R.R. Tolkien and was thrilled to take over hosting duties from Chris Hardwick. “I can’t believe I get to do this,” he said in a video that aired just before the panel.
In addition to his appearance at San Diego Comic-Con, Colbert will also make brief cameo appearance in upcoming Hobbit film which hits theaters on Dec. 17.
