Stephen’s absolute innocence and joy when he watches his hero do the voices is all I want in life!
Colbert exposed his personal failure as an actor
It’s the same kind of joy that was expressed when he played DND for the first time in decades for Red Nose Day a couple years back. Just pure unadulterated childlike ecstasy
It’s as we see glimpses of him as a little boy. 🥰
@@sebastiananthony5442 Or…he found comedy and enjoyed it more AND is good at it? 🤷🏻♀️
You can see him moving his lips to the dialog, this was great haha
Everyone please appreciate Stephen's face from 3:47 onwards because that's a manic 8 year old being let loose in a metaphorical candy shop
Yeah for sure.... you can almost hear a child-like giggle within him .....but to be fair so did I. It was like watching you're own imagination coming to life. That thrill you had the 1st time you read "The Hobbit" or the LOTR books, at least for me and what was transpiring in my life at the time as a young adult. I was 10-14yrs old, now 57, reading those books. And it still amazes me now, as an adult how my flashbacks of those summers, and what was happening at that time come just RUSHING back to life. As I hear the voices I PERSONALLY created w/in my mind come to life.
@@syreallewyatt5048 Fellowship being my #1 fav movie of all time (no joke)... I was reacting just like stephen, just see what my face was like in the moment cracks me up XD
I love Andy but half of the reason I watch his appearances on the show is to see Stephen's childlike glee for LotR once again.
Metaphorical..like bold fake news, oh those wandering kids from sneaky daughter 😆
Thank you for pointing that out, I hadn’t seen it otherwise; I’m completely uninterested in the host and was just watching Andy - it was really heartwarming watching the hosts face! ❤
Andy is a genius. What a pro. He gives 110% to everything he does.
Yeah, as a introvert I have to appreciate the fact that he does this in front of not only a studio audience but what he has to know is several million people. That HAS to be amazingly challenging, intimidating, I'm certain it was 'discussed' prior but still, thats got to be a jolt before and after. Where you need reassurance and validation.
Think he needed 120 for let there be carnage…..but agree otherwise 😅
Not possible to go over 100%. Go back to school.
@@Cukito4 I agree...but the sentiment is nice, too.
@@Cukito4 I was speaking figuratively. Using a rhetorical expression. Sorry if this annoyed you.
3:47 Stephen's face - he's like in a trance seeing "new Gollum material" unexpectedly hahaha
I see that smile in so many people that respect who they are reacting to in a way, others will realize. Someday.....Andy maybe reply one day to my request for him to voice GPS direction. Any way he ways, depending on the situation....
@@knightofnyiuh Dear Lord. That is the best idea I have ever heard!
Seeing Colbert's face light up in pure joy during Serkis' Gollum warmed my soul. 3:46
Heey! What's up you guys?! Shartimus Prime here?
We wants it, we needs it, we must have Kyiv...
He's like "oh fuck he's talking about Putin and Ukraine, how far is he gonna go?"
Fucking hilarious.
Hearing his Gollum voice still has not gotten old after 20 years.
This is crazy when you think about it
And it never will, at least for me.
Imagine that live, right next to you. Epic
It was a magical moment for all of us!
He should be given an Oscar for just being himself
An the Oscar for showing up goes to Andy Serkis
Jack Nicholson already has 3 of those.
Right!
In all seriousness, he should have an lifetime achievement Oscar.
Yes, with all the life times of all the characters he’s portrayed it’s more than well deserved,
P
i love Stephen's face when Andy acted Gollum and Smeagol. He is in pure awe.
I'm honestly not sure if he would have been more excited if Jesus himself popped in unexpectedly.
I was abt to say that before distracted by other comment 😅
Putin joke
The look on Stephen's face while Andy was doing Gollum was priceless.
Stephen is shook
@@abhimat Errrrr "Stephen is shaken" not shook
I think it was the truest definition of someone being thrilled, I’ve ever seen.
Missed a chance to say ...was precious.
If i were him i would be too my friend lol
Andy serkis has to be one of the most talented person. As if his physical acting wasn't great enough he is such a master voice actor
I’m so proud that he is an Armenian, his last name derived from Sarkesian but he shortened it for what ever reason. :) love his acting so much!!
@@createlovetravel really?? Didn't know he was not an American. I thought he might be british.
@@mahadlodhi his father is Iraqi Armenian, and his mother is half Iraqi and half British. So.. he’s half Armenian :)
And a great director
@createlovetravel your math is wrong. Half Iraqi, quarter of British and Armenian. Reread what you wrote. Only one parent is half Armenian.
That pure joy of Stephen looks like a child in an amusement park, seeing his favorite character live for the first time... LOL
Exactly this.
It's like JESUS coming back for Colbert.
First time? Didn't Serkis do that same voice on Stephen's show just a couple years ago?
There is a clip from a couple years ago when he was on & he read tweets in the different voices & it was hilarious
@@HOTD108_ And that wasn't even the first time either. Andy Serkis has been on The Colbert Report back in 2012 for "Hobbit Week".
Some actors want people to stop asking them about the one major role they did, I love that Andy not only doesn’t mind, but actively leans into it because he loves giving people that joy :) very cool
Love how proud he is of those roles
@@borris3768 As he should be! If you created a character like that (or rather brought it to life) which moved millions of people of all ages and still does 20 years later and you're not the least bit proud of that, there must be something wrong with you.
I can see the PURE joy in Sthepen's eyes!
He was mesmerized
@@LindaC616 Stephen is an awful host
Whenever Stephen interviews an LOTR character:
Me: I've got all the time in world.
@gelas lawas beautiful rain gutter
watching Stephen watch him, makes me so happy. Seeing him get to talk to the real people who acted out his favorite books. I can imagine how I'd feel getting to talk to Muddy waters or Son House. I'd be making the same faces, and not giving a care who made fun of me.
That's what I was thinking, the delight on his face is wonderful.
Almost through the first audiobook. Serkis is unbelievably good. Not just the voices but even Tolkien’s many songs are interpreted so incredibly well.
This man is a voice magician. Doing it for 132 charecters in such a complicated series as Lord or the Rings and then sounding like the very actors is nothing less than a masterpiece
What a gem of a man! I loved the audiobooks. I'm French, but Andy Serkis' reading is so crystal clear that I was completely absorbed in the story. Each day, I was looking forward to dive into Middle Earth. Thank you, sir!
They were remarkable!
The Hobbit is my favorite book, and has been since I was a small child. John Huston and Orson Bean were always the voices in my head, until Andy Serkis. Now there are three that bring it to life for me. Thank you, Andy Serkis!
You should really listen to the Rob Inglis audiobook of The Hobbit. His unabridged version is the staple of LOTR. The voices, the songs, the delight. Andy's is certainly good, though. What a class act.
Look at Stephen’s face while Andy does the Gollum/Sméagol impression. He’s completely mesmerized and so am I looking at that. Pure joy!
Seeing him go back to Sméagol in a snap is eerie.
Really an outstanding performance.
That 2nd “Sanctions” yell as Gollum by Andy there was haunting…such a great actor
I love seeing Stephen's pure childlike joy whenever he encounters Lord of the Rings....Andy Serkis is s genius!!
I can't believe he didn't get nominated for any awards for those books. They are amazingly done.
It’s a crime! 😤
Stephen looks like a true fanboy listening to Andy! 3:45
Andy Serkis is one-of-a-kind.
A rarefied talent we probably won't see again for generations.
Imagine the producers being like "aww it is nice to have a break from all the political talk" and then Andy is like "hold my fish"
The look of delight on Stephen's face when Andy goes all Vladimir Golem made my morning!
Stephen's face when Andy did Gollum's voice...was all our faces while watching that...
Others have already said it, but I have to chime in, too: I can't tell which I love more; Andy's performance or Stephen's face. My goodness, that is some genuine love and respect on display right there between those two. The expression on Andy's face when Stephen stood up at the end to shake his hand, well that was a keeper, too. This is why I love The Late Show. It's like this really sweet, classy, nerdy, weirdly- talented kid invites us to hang out with his equally sweet, classy, nerdy, weirdly-talented friends every night. It's so much fun.
Well said! And so true : )
Watching Andy's face morph between Gollum and Smeagol, shows just how much he put into that role, and how natural stepping back into it was, the man is a legend.
The part where he doesn't say anything as he moves from one side of the mic to the other is the part that gets me. Fucking owns it.
Everyone thought he nailed the impressions until he got to Smeigle and Gollum, thats when he completely blew everyone away. I mean look at Stephen's face during the last impression.
Because with the others, he had to be careful to not try to imitate the voice of a real person. Gollum is his character now. No one can ever surpass it. And he can go where he wants with it
Stephens face when Andy did his Gollum 😂😂
I've never seen him look like that.
Stephen's face when Andy was doing the voices....pure joy
One of the most amazing guest in the show's recent history! Love his dedication to the art!
The geek in Colbert didn't know what to do with itself... he was so enchanted. Wonderful... and I want those audiobooks!
I listened to the Hobbit recording, it was amazing, there were so many different voices I often had to rewind a bit to follow the story. It made me buy the LOTR audiobook, there are so many different voices. I just love it.
Find someone that looks at you the way Stephen looks at Andy Serkis when he does Gollum's voice. I mean... look at the pure joy in his eyes. I love them both!
Alone, Fellowship is over 22 hours on Audible - I can't imagine the effort that takes to read out loud.
Totally adore him! Also shouldn’t he get in the Guinness Book of World Records for doing 132 voices in one sitting?
He said 132 characters for LOTR and it took 6 weeks.
I knew that Jim Dale held the record for a while for Harry Potter with 146, but it seems Roy Dotrice surpassed them all for Game of Thrones with 224
Andy’s voice characters of LOTR should be on navigation directions in a car.
Driving around town would be an adventure every time you drive.
Omg, yes, please! Driving would be so much fun!
"Turn left, precious."
*misses turn*
"NOOOO! Where are you going?!"
@@spangelicious837 "Stupid fat hobbit *pthpthlplplplp* you wastes it, hurry up - do a u-turn, we needs the precious."
Andy Serkis 🙏🏾 As soon he hits the Gollum voice..., Goosebumps.
I don't think anyone else can ever voice that character ever again. That part is his now
Omgosh look at Mr Colbert's face...awe and joy!
You see absolute delight in Stephen’s face as Golem was speaking. Total break of character! Loved seeing this!
Tolkien nerd Stephen is just my favourite. I love when he gets childlike for LOTR so so much
I just started listening to the audio books 2 or 3 weeks ago and omg.... the joy it brings me is out of this world.
What an incredible human being. We truly must protect him at all costs.
Andy Serkis IS an EXTRAORDINARY TALENTED person. I wish he got more praise for what he is doing, because he deserves it all and even more!💜
3:26 Stephen's in love
When Stephen Colbert smiles at the camera like that, I’m smiling with him and that makes my day better. Rain or shine he still finds a way to care enough to make people laugh. Bravo!
Look what lotr does for us, makes ppl so happy
The sheer joy on Stephen's face when Gollum and Smiegal were speaking 🥰
I would like a 30 minute video (at least) of Stephen watching Andy re-enact his recording of The Hobbit and/or Lord of the Rings. Just a side-by-side act and reaction "best of", just like this. Thank you.
Andy Serkis is a real treasure. He has been a great steward of the Tolkien works.
Andy is simply the best and most versatile actor I’ve ever seen or heard.
Everytime, without fail, that I see Andy Serkis or even hear his voice, I immediately think of Gollum. He's immaculately done so many iconic characters with such skill and grace.
He's THE BEST all around actor in the biz, imo. 🙏
For me it’s Caesar who I always think of
Pretty sure Stephen almost cried in joy at the end there. Magic.
its nice seeing Stephen in Awe and just out of character.. enjoying the interview like a child watching saturday morning cartoons.
3:48 Evie! He's geeking out again!
🤣🤣🤣
Vlad going full on Gollum isn't too far off from reality...
I'm not sure how so much talent can be crammed into one human being. Andy Serkis is incredible! What a gift to us all!
This man is such an underrated artist. The work he has done, some completely unnoticed because he was in a digital suit (King Kong, Planet of the Apes, Gollem) etc is mind blowing.
I love Andy Serkis. Such an underrated actor!
If I hear that "underrated" crap again on UA-cam comments, I swear I'm going to throw up!
He's not underrated everyone is aware of his extraordinary talent and appreciates it, maybe you mean by underrated is unrecognized for the Oscar or something like many fans mean when they say underrated? because many great actors like him Johnny Depp, Viggo Mortensen and Benedict Cumberbatch didn't get awards like the Oscar because it became overrated actually and the Academy has other things to achieve aside from talent, Andy doesn't need an Oscar the Oscar needs him.
Yeah that's what I meant. Also there are so many fans of LOTR and Gollum that don't even know his name
Dude, I don't know him, but Andy Serkis SEEMS like the coolest funnest guy.
Very Humble and nice too, his genuine love for fans is what makes him one of the best guys
"They cursed us. Murderer they called us. They cursed us, and drove us away. And we wept, Precious, we wept to be so alone."
-Gollum.
Thanks Andy Serkis, that was super.
Crikey! I took for granted the talent of Andy Serkis. But bloody hell, the man's an acting genius.
Bravo. *standing ovation *
Stephen's face says it all I think!!!! You could see the wonder and delight in his whole expression!!!!
Just finished listening to "Return of the King" read/spoken/performed by Serkis. Simply Stunning.
I adore Stephen’s face watching Andy.
Hats off to Andy, amazing talent and showmanship. Truly a genius
Andy Serkis goes all in when he performs. He said he based Smeagol partially on his cat. That voice must really wear down his throat. That's the line crossed by the best, into the breach full on.
Don't forget Andy was also part of the Princess Bride Home Video project, where he was Count Rugen opposite Elijah Woods' Prince Humperdinck.
Stephen's reaction was one of the most genuine moments I've ever seen from any celebrity. It looked like he forgot the cameras and audience was even there. That was awesome!!!
So glad someone asked him the questions I needed answered after listening to these books! The recordings are classic above and beyond the books themselves, I can't recommend highly enough!!
Having listened to his recordings of LoTR, I got to say, it was absolutely marvellous!
Andy Serkis is a living legend ❤️❤️❤️.such a talented actor. Can't wait to see his Alfred more in future .
I just started fellowship read by Andy Serkis. His voice acting is incredible. It is such an immersive experience.
I've literally finished Andy Serkis reading the Fellowship of the Ring and it has been truly an amazing journey up to now. For those who haven't dove into it please do... I haven't heard many audiobooks (relatively new to it) but Mr Serkis has gone to the top very quickly in terms of quality.
Watching it live in lockdown was comforting, I was shocked at how well Andy Serkis kept up his energy through the hours and distinguished the voices and found listening in very enjoyable when he was reading the books.
I love Andy Serkis - he just seems to be the kind of guy that took the opportunities he was given and ran with them, in a great, humble, full way. He is blessed and blessed the franchise and the fans.
I often listen without looking up at the video. I'm so glad I looked up and saw the look on Stephen's face as he watched Andy do Gollum.
Andy Serkis did such an amazing job on these audiobooks! I've read the Lord of the Rings but haven't heard them with the perspective of another voice. Bringing different energy and tones to various parts of a very familiar story can make it feel almost as if you're imagining it for the first time. I cant wait to listen again and I've only just finished!
Andy is such a genius. I can just watch him do the voices all day.
Mr. Serkis, our first unit for back-in-person school was to listen and read along with your reading of The Hobbit. What a delight! What a catharsis! You have completely enthralled a new generation into Middle Earth, Tolkien and the Art of Storytelling. Most surprising for me: They absolutely loved all the Dwarves songs...and sang along! Thank you for this gift.
You know Steven lives for these moments.
Stephen*
The face of pure joy of Steaven is the most beautiful thing y saw in all this time whaching this show, real people, one of a kind. Many thanks x all your work from Uruguay 🇺🇾
Stephen mouthed the words “My Precious” along with Andy. Man, that’ll be a moment he’ll remember the rest of his life.
Andy Serkis definitely deserves a lot more praise for his acting ability, everyone just thinks Gollum/Smeagol right away. but every scene he's giving 150% effort.
Jeez, Andy is a living treasure at this point. Marvelous then and even now. Gotta check that audiobook out.
Stephen’s face!!!! He was so absorbed in that whole performance.
I have listened to his versions of the audiobooks on audible and it was AMAZING. I loved them so much.
Andy Serkis's readings of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings books are a delight to listen to, and he channels so many different voices! Highly recommend.
It’s impossible not to adore Andy. And Stephen is like a little kid watching his childhood hero. Absolutely delightful!
Serkis is just wonderful - what a brilliant performer
I love to see Stephen geek out over LOTR. It is such a delight to see how joyful he gets.
God bless the cameraman for switching the angle to show Stephen’s face. Amazing to see him express such genuine excitement and bewilderment. I think he even got a little emotional after the Gollum part
Watching Colbert so engrossed with Andy’s Gollum is just the best.
Those audiobooks are wonderful. My family listens to a lot of audiobooks, and these are the best I've heard.
Ill add to the choir about stephen's face throughout the whole performance! So heartwarming ❤
Love both of you guys!
Andy"s flexibility to do 130 voices is truly amazing.
3:50 when Stephen starts mouthing the words, he is all of us.
Every fan boy and girl.
