   "Stephen Tyrone Colbert is an American comedian, writer, producer,

'Qualifies": He's an over-egoed celebrity with piles of money and
             over-hyped influence. He's also an obsessive Tolkien
             fan who finagled a cameo appearance in one of
             The Hobbit movies.

'Disqualifies': He is an American comedian, writer, producer,
                political commentator, actor, and television host,
                with a massive ego.
