Well, that's the plan, anyway. Movie projects have been known to
change plans as they proceed. We can but hope.
Who is he,
"Stephen Tyrone Colbert is an American comedian, writer, producer,
political commentator, actor, and television host."
and what qualifies (or disqualifies) him for the job?
'Qualifies": He's an over-egoed celebrity with piles of money and
over-hyped influence. He's also an obsessive Tolkien
fan who finagled a cameo appearance in one of
The Hobbit movies.
'Disqualifies': He is an American comedian, writer, producer,
political commentator, actor, and television host,
with a massive ego.
