During a performance at the late show, Elijah was asked by host Stephen Colbert, “I have one more rumor I need to address with you. And I don’t want to mess with you here, okay? Is it true that you still haven’t finished reading The Lord of the Rings?”
He admitted that he has not been able to make time to read the original material, despite being immersed in the world of author JRR Tolkein and keeping his face hidden.
Finally he confessed, “Coming from you is almost what makes me feel the most ashamed, Stephen.”
It is remarkable that Stephen claims to be tall Lord of the Rings”fan.”

He further revealed that he started filming the hit film series in October 1999, so he had 27 years to read the fantasy saga.
“Anyway, I’ll say this: There’s an update. I’ve started it,” he shared about the recent development, noting that he’s enjoying what he’s read so far.
Exchanging a handshake with Stephen about his limited progress, he concluded, “Thank you. And they’re incredible!”
