Stephen Colbert Geeks Out with Ian McKellen

Can Stephen Colbert out-Hobbit Sir Ian McKellen? Yes, he can. In a quick trivia quiz, Colbert proves he knows more about Gandalf’s backstory than does McKellen. But McKellen does get the better of Colbert when he clears up the “who would win in a fight between Gandalf and Magneto” question. According to McKellen, Gandalf is more powerful than Magneto. Asked if Gandalf would really beat Magneto, McKellen replied, “Yes, every time. The old guy will do it every time. He’s 7,000 years old – he knows it all. I love Gandalf the Grey. I love him.”
 
Adds Colbert: “And I love you, Ian McKellen.”
