WATCH: ‘The Desolation Of Smaug’ Q&A − Stephen Colbert Geeks Out On ‘Hobbit’ Director Peter Jackson

You know you’re in Hobbit -land when Peter Jackson turns a mind-numbing question from Stephen Colbert  about the Elves of Mirkwood into an observation about whether the coffee mugs on The Colbert Report are sanitary. Just in time for April Fool’s Day, Colbert makes the appearance at the 1:28 mark in this excerpt of a Q&A that Jackson conducted with fans who bought the Blu-Ray version of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey   last week. The clip also includes a first look at the second film in Jackson’s planned trilogy, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug ,  but the hight point is Colbert’s slightly unhinged appearance.  If he is not the number-one Tolkien geek on this planet, then he sure has me fooled. Jackson demonstrates that he’ s capable of being funny, too, and responds to Colbert’s multi-part question with a simple “yes,” before raising his own geeky question about The Colbert Report coffee mug that he used on his last appearance. The moral of the story:  If you appear on The Colbert Report , bring your own mug.

WATCH: ‘This Is The End’ Trailer Doubles As ‘Pineapple Express 2’ April Fool’s Gag

Finally, an April Fool’s joke that actually sells something. This clips starts out like a half-assed so-bad-it’s-good sequel to Pineapple Express with Seth Rogen, James Franco and Danny McBride  and eventually reveals itself to be a clip within a clip to one of the most hotly anticipated movies of the summer:  The funny actor apocalypse movie, This Is The End . I can’t wait to see this movie, although I’m already bummed that Michael Cera dies in the movie. Not A Trailer For Pineapple Express 2 Follow Frank DiGiacomo on  Twitter .
