Martin Freeman and Stephen Colbert talk about The Hobbit Lego figures I know, it's an oldie (04.12.2012). To me, Martin's humour always feels fresh, tho.

Also, Martin knows that it was a good one. 😁

Real fans know the difference between Stephen Colbert and “Stephen Colbert”

I was denied reasonable accommodations because I applied for them too late. It’s not my fault I didn’t get my diagnosis until recently but apparently it was too late to get reasonable accommodations. It gets really frustrating and tiring, living in a system that isn’t built for almost all of your identities. Other than my gender and able-bodiedness, I have to explain and fight for all of my identities everywhere I go in mainstream society. And my other identities interact with my gender and able-bodiedness in negative ways. My ethnicity and muscular build make people assume I’m a gangmember. My autistic brain, already struggling with social cues, has to factor in the non-verbal communication my outfit, walk, and stimming and other mannerisms convey to actual gangmembers and police officers. Lest I get harassed, beat, or worse by them. When I’m in the club I have to worry about the way I dance for the same reason. I also have to worry about the times I get overstimulated at the club or go non-verbal. People at the club, and even other contexts, often assume consent to very sexual touching. Often it’s this touching that sends me over the edge into non-verbalness or overstimulation. And because they assume consent it means they keep going and because I’m non-verbal/overstimulated I’m unable to really do or say anything. And because Im a muscular, able bodied latino man I’m expected to be able to advocate for myself and the assumption is that this is what I want and wanted. Even when it’s not. It just becomes all so traumatic, isolating, and for some reason I don’t fully understand yet, it’s mostly just tiring. Sometimes I wish these things didn’t happen, that I was born different, that i didn’t have to go through the trauma and tribulations that I have had to go through. But despite that, I have come to mostly respect, appreciate and be grateful for these things that I used to wish never happened. Stephen Colbert once said, “what punishments of god are not gifts?” Everybody suffers and is hurt. In those times of hurt we like to hear from other people that we’re not alone; that other people have suffered similarly. We can form the strongest bonds with the people who have gone through similar traumas by talking and expressing ourselves to eachother. Because of these experiences, I am able to do that with so many people. I’ve been able to be there for my friends, countless of them, in their times of need at every stage of my life because I could empathize with them so well. I have been blessed to be able to share my stories of trauma and healing with other people. Little else makes me happier than hearing a family member or a friend telling me about a time I was there for them during one of their hard times. Some gifts require a lot of work and hardship to be able to receive. Connecting on that level is one of them. That’s why “I have come to love the things that I once wished had not happened.”

Just stay with me on this one folks, it pays off nicely, I promise.

Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert’s Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear (October 30, 2010)

Ron DeSantis' Restore Sanity Rally (June 17, 2023)

Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert did it first and better.

Rush when they made an appearance on "The Colbert Report" in 2008. Up to that point, it was their first appearance on American TV in 33-years.

It is on the "Retrospective DVD/CD package. They performed, of course, "Tom Sawyer."

For the longest time, you could never find any video of either the interview and or performance. Comedy Central didn't release it to the public. In 2020, Vulture was fortunate enough to get permission from Comedy Central to put the interview in an article.

Now, the whole interview and performance is on YouTube. Hilarious interview. Shows they can laugh at each other and not take themselves seriously all the time.

Go check it out.
