Stephen Colbert presents scenes from next season’s Breaking Bad… as performed by the men from Downton Abbey.
Heh.
Perhaps Colbert is familiar with the never-ending parade of single-serving TV mash up Tumblr blogs. Next up, Breaking Development, Parks and Abbey and Downton Thrones.
As you might have heard yesterday, next week is The Hobbit Week on The Colbert Report, as Stephen welcomes Sir Ian McKellan on Monday, Martin Freeman on Tuesday, Andy Serkis on Wednesday and Peter Jackson on Thursday. You might know them better by their respective Hobbit characters, Yoda, Voldemort, Sulu and Morpheus.
In the meantime, let’s prepare for the weeklong Tolkien-fest with some classic Middle Earthian moments from The Report. First up, click the gif to watch Stephen put the literary smackdown on fellow LOTR-head James Franco.
When I first heard the song, just a few years ago, I just thought he had written it for me. [It’s] just a beautiful expression of how we are toward each other as people — we don’t think that we are sufficient for each other; that no one wants to know the real me or the whole me.

Is there video of this performance?
Not online. It’s from the taping of this episode.
PS Listen to that Fresh Air interview. It’s wonderful.
Dear Comedy Centrl, Please put it online? Love you forever, Alex (PCB).
