What?! Viggo Mortensen on ‘The Colbert Report’?!
By
We’ll get you the full episode guide soon, boys and girls, but, for now, the buzz is all about the Viggo Mortensen cameo on last night’s Colbert Report. Unbelievable!
To quote Jon Stewart from an old interview with Viggo, “He will have — and I, and I say this, and I only say this because of, of the medical condition — he will have a four-hour erection because of that.” (Missed this Daily Show interview? Catch Stephen Colbert demonstrating his nerd credentials regarding Aragorn, son of Arathorn here.)

Yes – I’ll be getting to the full episode as soon as it “airs” over here. But thanks for the Viggo clips!
Stephen sounds like the classic dweeb in that second clip… just too funny.

OMG that was too glorious! (BTW the second half of my use name was for Hedwig and the first half for…;D )

This brings up so many questions: Will Stephen get to keep the sword?
Will it go on the wall next to the Cap America shield?
Did he get more chocolate Aragorns?
Did he have a 4 hour erection after the cameo? ;)

Viggo’s cameo was the most excellent moment. The conversation between my roomie and me in the dorm room went a bit like this:
“Wtf?”
“Wtf?”
“Wt—OMG!”
“OMGOMG!”
“OMGOMGOMG!”
Obviously our conversations are very highbrow.

@vigwig
If I didn’t think you rocked before for the Hedwig reference (but I did) I’d surely think so after learning of the Viggo one.
Now you just need to figure out how to fit Ste or Phen or Col or Bert or Ephe or Olbe in there!

@ cheri LOL, thank you so much!
How about vigcolbywig? It would be more accurate anyway. :D
I’d love to hear more backstory / aftermath on this cameo to keep the delicious fandom synergies going. I was doing a major happy dance!

Is it normal that that seing Viggo with Stephen gave me the “4 hour erection” ??

@Lysa – ha, that was pretty much my thought process during the show!

Heh. Viggo’s Aragorn accent seems to have gone all Monty-Python-y. From lack of practice, I guess.
That was the best cameo ever.

I was truly worried from the second I saw this bit. He was a bit shaken and clearly very hot. (and yes, HOT!)
A truly great day that will never be forgotten.
I’m truly impressed.

@ Olivia – Viggo’s horrible accent and over-the-top acting was hilarious IMO, it was the perfect foil to Stephen’s downplayed “Um, Thanks?”
