And while I love Stephen's geekness (and what better use for his very own tv show?), I doubt I can come up with a whole weeks' worth of Hobbittry. It's just not quite my flavor of geek, y'know. But should you want more info, RottenTomatoes has a Hobbit Headquarters, and ColbertNewsHub has the usual detail (plus, FYI, an Adphent Calendar).

Instead of horses, three deer got onto the course Wednesday night, and the race announcer didn’t miss a beat... “As they race down the track, Bambi has the lead. Here comes Rudolph from the outside.” [http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/...(via)]
