@colbertlateshow: From seeing “Peter Pan” at age 3 to appearing on The Late Show at 86, the magic of live theatre never fades for Ian McKellen. See Ian Mckellen in AN ARK, a new play for mixed reality, at @The Shed now! #Colbert #IanMcKellen #Macbeth #PeterPan
I sounded like the crowd didn’t pick up what Ian was lying down about the clapping. 🤷♀️

Can you imagine being an absolute LoTR fanatic and the Gandalf says “thank God” about you still being on air and admiring your dedication? I’d cry.

Colbert is absolutely smitten. it's all over his face, and to be fair, I'd feel absolutely the same if Sir McKellen passed off comments like that.

Imagine going to see The Late Show, already a pretty special experience, and getting Sir Ian doing Shakespeare. I will never not be jealous of the audience that day.
