The word moot is an archaic term meaning "argue, debate, discuss." In early English history, a moot was a meeting to discuss local affairs. Moot comes from the Old English gemot, meaning "meeting."
I think that was the funniest part -- I just about fell on the floor, screeching, "He's RECITING!!!!!!"
Stephen Colbert is brilliant. He could have been ANYTHING... imagine him as a professor somewhere. Instead he chose to make us laugh and think at the same time.
I never see Colbert, but do frequently "hear about it" afterwards. What a fun clip! Gaiman is a grand author! personally, I loved Tom B in the Tolkien books, but we can't all, and some of us don't :)
