The funny newsman revealed thar director Peter Jackson had called him up and asked him to come down to New Zealand with his family and that they would figure getting him into the movie somehow. He spoke about his family being "the lake town spy family" in the movie, and how he was this spy who was tracking Bard the Bowman throughout Lake Town. He joked about how he was a "peak geek" at the time and might've "frightened them with his enthusiasm." Colbert went on to compare himself to his 12-year-old son at the Emmys, being all wide-eyed and going, "This is so much fun!"
