Obviously, Adam couldn't be on set with them for some reason (scheduling?), but I like to think he heard what was happening and begged to be in the sketch anyway 😂
I thought this was just going to be a green screen type thing with existing footage, but they really went and shot all this for the skit. Looks so great!
Agreed! I want to know who wrote it. So cool that all those brilliant actors were game to play their parts. I mean I know it got more people to watch, but still -- that's a high quality promo.
I'm guessing Adam Scott wasn't actually there in person with the other guys. Looks like a couple of over-the-shoulder green screen shots recorded somewhere else. Either way, I'm glad he at least did that.
It's so easy to forget what a great actor Colbert is until we get one of these clips. Also, I can't even imagine how many outtakes would have come out of some of those scenes because of the actors breaking.
@@tvs9978 He's never had a big role in a film. Three or four small roles in studio films usually starring some of his friends. The biggest dramatic role he might have had was as a killer of the week on a Law & Order: Criminal Intent episode the year before The Colbert Report started.
Tramell Tillman’s facial expressions during the dance scene are priceless. He’s sooo pissed off, but in pure Mr Milchick fashion, he’s holding it together by a string.
@Hai Boai How pathetic does one have to be to reply to every post, even innocuous ones like this one, on a popular video just to promote your own videos, which hopefully none of us have clicked on?
I have seen comedy skits where they use the original film with an insert, This has just blown every one of those away🥰 Thank you so much to all involved
I'm shrieking with laughter. Gonna have to replay this immediately and often thereafter. OMG, so brilliant. Thanks to the great John Turturro -- too-too deadpan, eye-rolling classic JT; and let's not lead out the very game and adorable Adam Scott. Y'all made my day!
I really loved that show, as someone who worked in an office for 20+ years it really resonated with me. also my boy Adam Scott from parks and rec nailed the dramatic role, I was strangely proud of him. go see it if you haven't
It's not a funny show. It's a dystopian drama. You'll be filled with existential dread and need to watch the next episode. I legitimately cannot wait for season 2.
Man, how awesome must it be to think "I really like that show, I'm gonna make some calls to see if those people won't make a parody with me." Steve C.'s outtie's life seems great.
The way Colbert slowly raises the cubicle wall with sad look on his face and Adam was conservatively dancing in the music experience was hilarious. 😂We need more sketches like these
So because of Stephen's sketch I just binged Severance and I'm not okay at all. There's no way I can wait until next year for Season 2 - this is just torture!
❤ Amazing. Love that they all came together to play like this. LSSC should spend their entire discretionary budget doing more of these with all of Stephen's favorites! 😂
My favorite show in a long time. I don’t watch many, but Severance deserves the praise. Seeing Colbert talking and getting in it, what a combination of things I love .
Oh my God! Congratulations to our own beloved Adam Scott! I knew him here in Santa Cruz since his drama days in H.S. and I don't have cable or Apple TV but he was always meant to be a star! I could never figure out why they didn't use him more on tv and movies and man its been like 30 years but he is 100% Star now! Yes I know he was on other shows but this is so earned. Great to see you on tv again. He is very nice and very real as a human. I haven't spoken to him since the Friday the 13th movie when I asked what do they let you play? He said oh, I always get to play the same thing, dead guy. Long time. Earned baby!
I'm guessing Adam Scott wasn't actually there in person with the other guys. Looks like a couple of over-the-shoulder green screen shots recorded somewhere else. Either way, I'm glad he at least did that.
I figured they were just going to green screen insert Stephen into scenes from the show, but nope, they full on got the actors and set to do it for real. Very funny.
Love this!❤😂❤😂 I love The Office and Severance!! I am re-watching season one of Severance and my husband is seeing it for the first time. So looking forward to the second season!! John Turturro is perfection!
i ACTUALLY laughed out loud when popped in & said "Hit it!" with the party button 😂😂😂😂 im so glad Stephen got/made this chance to just be silly again! Echos of his comedy central time 💚 LOVED IT! brought joy to my morning! 😂
That was very well done, and leads me to realize I have absolutely no desire to watch that series, as I live it already. In fact, I believe Apple has my office under surveillance for script ideas. And I did NOT steal that stapler. I brought it from home, honestly!
I love these types of features on the show. This type of stuff is Stephen's bread and butter and it really shows with how perfectly he lands the jokes in this segment.
I think the series is loosely based off of Scientology as there are certain aspects that seem pretty similar, I am captivated and can’t wait for season 2
Small thing from a directing standpoint, but pretty clear that Adam Scott couldn't make it on the day they were filming, so he filmed all his scenes at a later time - and then they spliced in the footage. They use clever shots to never have Colbert and Adam Scott in the same shot, but still do it well in a way where it seems like they're in the same room. Nicely done.
@@playasadonejoe thank you! As someone who's directed something, just wanted to pass along a quick tidbit. Glad you enjoyed it and weren't sarcastic about it
This was easily one of the best sketches I have ever seen - not having seen the actual show myself. CLASSIC. I would actually watch a full on version of this show if it were done just like this.
Adam Scott doing his dance in the doorway had me laughing 🤣
Obviously, Adam couldn't be on set with them for some reason (scheduling?), but I like to think he heard what was happening and begged to be in the sketch anyway 😂
Cousin to Michael Scott.
It’s giving Ben Wyatt
I thought this was just going to be a green screen type thing with existing footage, but they really went and shot all this for the skit. Looks so great!
Apple has many dollars.
@@EdDunkle makes cents
I was wondering. TY
My thoughts exactly! 😲
they were probably in the middle of production of S2, very cool.
An "Office"-"Severance" mashup spoof so absolutely, hilariously brilliant, it deserves its own Emmy nomination 🏆
These writers never fail us.
What kind of bastard puts Foundation on the one service I don't have?😑
Agreed! I want to know who wrote it. So cool that all those brilliant actors were game to play their parts. I mean I know it got more people to watch, but still -- that's a high quality promo.
you mean its own Dundies nomination...
Staying in character masterclass.
Stephen and John Turturro play brilliantly off one another. Comedic gold.
I'm guessing Adam Scott wasn't actually there in person with the other guys. Looks like a couple of over-the-shoulder green screen shots recorded somewhere else. Either way, I'm glad he at least did that.
Oh. I was wondering how Stephen Colbert could have gotten Jordan Peterson to act on his show.
Okay screenplay writers, get to work. Another remake of the Odd Couple would be a start...
Definitely look up a video of them on Bouncy balls
@@4seeableTV - Yeah I thought the same. Probably too busy in Pawnee 😛
This could have just been a parody but turning it into the office is brilliant.
I wonder how long he's wanted to do a Steve Carrel skit
It seems like the most perfect Steve carrel skit I bet he’s been ready do this for years lol
420 weeks and 69 days.
Thats what she said. Oops that made no sense
@@nicholassmith2159 REALLY?!? Oh, pure, sweet boy-child. If you gain enough worldly experiences, maybe someday you will understand...
I died when he said "That's what she said".🤣🤣
We need more skits like these. Everything about this was perfect. I would pay money for more of these I'm not even joking.
I think you have been drinking
@@agentK1896 - I loved it, too!
Agreed 💯!
That was the best triple-crossover I've ever seen. Also possibly the first. Absolutely brilliant!
Honorable Mention to the team that made it look like Adam Scott was actually in the room with anyone else for these scenes. This was so good!
This wasn’t green-screened; so everyone *but* Adam Scott was there then?
Yeah seems like Adam was not available at time of shooting but made it possible to record scenes remotely and were stitched together very well done
Damn I didn't notice that at all!
@@AnthonyMunguia wow! That’s amazing
He never appears in shot with anyone, as far as I can tell.
7:25 The audience missed the "That's my stapler!" line from Dwight LOL!
And previously from Gareth
And previously previously to Milton from office space.
So Did I!!
nuh-UHHHHHH!!! that was MILTON!!
@cutemsladybug office space, that makes more sense
It's so easy to forget what a great actor Colbert is until we get one of these clips. Also, I can't even imagine how many outtakes would have come out of some of those scenes because of the actors breaking.
Has he ever been in a full length movie?
@@tvs9978 He's never had a big role in a film. Three or four small roles in studio films usually starring some of his friends. The biggest dramatic role he might have had was as a killer of the week on a Law & Order: Criminal Intent episode the year before The Colbert Report started.
@@snowdenwyatt6276 hmm that's a missed opportunity then. He's a great character actor
Of course he is. Thats why he got his oscar nomination for his great role in "The Hobbit" ;)
@@tvs9978
Stephen was on an episode of Law & Order and was quite good! 😉
Tramell Tillman’s facial expressions during the dance scene are priceless. He’s sooo pissed off, but in pure Mr Milchick fashion, he’s holding it together by a string.
As tired as I am, I am laughing out load at these severence scenes. Colbert, you are a comic genius.
Just the elevator scene had me on the floor laughing! Gold.
@Hai Boai How pathetic does one have to be to reply to every post, even innocuous ones like this one, on a popular video just to promote your own videos, which hopefully none of us have clicked on?

I cannot believe that the stars aligned to make this happen 🤩
See what you did there 😂
apple needs every promo they can get.
Totally ignorant
That's what she said

Nice use of thereafter, I love that!😆
@@mr.loveandkindness3014 You'e lived up to your name -- very sweet message. Thank you 🤗
Hello 👋
it’s not that funny
I really loved that show, as someone who worked in an office for 20+ years it really resonated with me. also my boy Adam Scott from parks and rec nailed the dramatic role, I was strangely proud of him. go see it if you haven't
if you haven't yet, watch him in Party Down
@@fooboomoo I think that's where I first became a fan, I gotta rewatch that
John Turturro giving (another) underrated and understated performance for a bit on a talk show. Real genius on display.
A very astute observation Charles D.
I saw this skit, went and semi-binged on the real Severance as I had not seen it, and then came back to this skit again. What fun!!
He was just taking some office supplies. It’s not like he was taking nuclear secrets home with him.
Touche
Too soon...👍😎👍
And what was he going to do with these nuclear secrets? Hopefully this will become known in the near future.
@Hai Boai Last fart.
May your comment forever rise to the top of the list.
Dude this was the most genius and hilarious little sketch I’ve seen in AWHILE.
Absolutely hilarious parody. One of the funniest bits yet. Loved the Steve Carrel reference.
This was much better than I expected, they went all out for this, so glad I discovered it now.
John Turturo is a legend.
He is very very sneaky. Flamenco lessons for all! He will even change your socks.
Funny...I didn't realize that was Turturo till now!
And then he did Transformers.
He broke my heart with his NYT opinion piece following the Dobbs decision. I immediately had to rewatch the Big Lebowski so I wouldn’t drown.
@@rightrightrightuhhuhuhhuh6516 legends can have flaws 😂
Haven't seen Severance, but this was hysterical! I laughed so hard.
It's not a funny show.
It's a dystopian drama.
You'll be filled with existential dread and need to watch the next episode.
I legitimately cannot wait for season 2.
It’s such a creepy good show. And very interesting in its concept as well.
Best show of 2022
The skit is even funnier if you’ve seen the show. This made my week! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
@@VincentVonDudler same for us, those last couple of episodes we were screaming at the tv.. man we can’t wait for season 2 either!
Man, how awesome must it be to think "I really like that show, I'm gonna make some calls to see if those people won't make a parody with me." Steve C.'s outtie's life seems great.
@Hai Boai Last fart.
I’m sure Apple TV+ funded it in order to get that “ad time” in on Colbert
who ever came up with the idea of the severance spoof is genius, give them a pay rise lol, loved it xx
The way Colbert slowly raises the cubicle wall with sad look on his face and Adam was conservatively dancing in the music experience was hilarious. 😂We need more sketches like these
He hasn’t lost his awesome dance moves.
I friggin love that signature turn he does. 😆
If you haven’t seen Severance yet you’re in for a treat. Breaking Bad levels of writing with the mysteries of what made LOST good.
Definite lost vibes !!
Colbert also did a great mashup of Breaking Bad & Dowton Abbey that was hilarious. That was back when those shows were still being filmed.
@@kellyjaacks5655 Would love to see that one!
Both those references make zero sense to me, but this skit has piqued my interest. I do enjoy a treat :)
Now go watch “from”
Love Severance! And this was super fun. Tramell Tillman's character is just so great (and he's such a good actor).
The reaction on the elevator fart deserves an Emmy. 🤣
"That's what she said!" 🤣💕👍
PS- John Turturro funny as 🔥
I loved this, and I loved that it totally obvious Adam Scott was on a green screen and just pasted into the scenes
I literally CANNOT get over this show. I've seriously reconsidered my life goals, ever since the finale
So because of Stephen's sketch I just binged Severance and I'm not okay at all. There's no way I can wait until next year for Season 2 - this is just torture!
Severance season 2 drops Jan 2025
Yo you still alive
two of my favorite shows colliding for some hilarious awesomeness. thanks for the laughs!
❤
Amazing. Love that they all came together to play like this. LSSC should spend their entire discretionary budget doing more of these with all of Stephen's favorites! 😂
So good! The dancing just made me blart! 😂😂.
My favorite show in a long time. I don’t watch many, but Severance deserves the praise. Seeing Colbert talking and getting in it, what a combination of things I love .
How am I just seeing this now!!!! This is amazing!
Omgggg I never watched this show but I was dying! Soooooo needed that THANK YOU! Now I gotta go find that show lol🤣
Same here.
Absolutely brilliant! We need more Steven skits. This man is so talented, let him show all his colors. We give you our flowers!
I love how he just got into Severance and all of a sudden interviews Ben Stiller and does a parody sketch. This is what power is.
oh wow, good point haha
That was hilarious. A fun way to let Steven show something different from his show host persona!
I love it when he gags 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't have Apple TV, so, I've never seen the show. But... That was hilarious.
You should treat yourself. It’s amazing.
There are ways.....you should definitely watch it
Signup for a free trial an binge it. It’s amazing

"That's what she said." Had me rollin'. 🤣
Of COURSE it had to end that way!
Brilliant stuff, as usual.
I'd love to see the bloopers!

Oh man! This is so hilarious. I love Stephen Colbert!
I figured they were just going to green screen insert Stephen into scenes from the show, but nope, they full on got the actors and set to do it for real. Very funny.
so everyone knows that 7 ate 9, but you know why 7 did that? Because you’re supposed to eat 3 squared meals a day
😂

Me too
“Am I Steve Carell?” 😂😂
What an awesome bit! Never seen the show, nor knew what it was about and yet found this funny af.
More of these kinds of sketches!!
This was a genius skit!
Agreed
@Hai Boai Last fart.
I dont think 2 can fit in here "that's what she said" priceless hahaha 😆 😂 😅
I love Severance 😂 great take by Stephen Colbert
Missed this Colbert! More of this!!
Impressive in its creativity, performance, and production. Bravo.
incredible skit, we need more Severeance Office AU content
Big fan of office here, and i just finished S1 of Severance. This mashup deserves a dundee at the waffle party.
"Do you know why 6 was afraid of 7?"
"I do, actually."
Hahahaha
That was very well done, and leads me to realize I have absolutely no desire to watch that series, as I live it already. In fact, I believe Apple has my office under surveillance for script ideas.
And I did NOT steal that stapler. I brought it from home, honestly!
You're missing out.
Without spoilers, maybe the show would give you ideas on how to escape that world.
Finally more Stephen Colbert skits! This is the best part of the show!
Holy fuck, it's so nice seeing new "scenes" from the show again even if it's a spoof. Turturro slipped back into Irving effortlessly.
That all makes me so happy. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
That last "that's what she said" was brilliant! :-D
That was **far** better than expected 😂 And that’s saying a lot. 😂🤣🤣😂
Oh how I can’t wait for Severance to come back out
A performance worthy of an Oscar!
Laugh out loud funny, so thank you.
I’ve never even seen Severance, but I need to watch this skit every single day for possibly EVER!
this is one of the funniest Steve C. character. everyone is so serious! I thought John Turturro would dance with Steve. love it! 😄
I love these types of features on the show. This type of stuff is Stephen's bread and butter and it really shows with how perfectly he lands the jokes in this segment.
Every once in a while stephen has to flex and remind everyone he's a great actor😁👍
Wow, everything you touch!!’
Congratulations 🎈🎉
I think the series is loosely based off of Scientology as there are certain aspects that seem pretty similar, I am captivated and can’t wait for season 2
👍 Rings true wonder if anyone can/will confirm.
This was incredible. Genius. Brilliant. This is why you're a legend, Steve C.
I want to see the outtakes.
DAMN ! That took some serious work 👍😂
Small thing from a directing standpoint, but pretty clear that Adam Scott couldn't make it on the day they were filming, so he filmed all his scenes at a later time - and then they spliced in the footage.

@@playasadonejoe thank you! As someone who's directed something, just wanted to pass along a quick tidbit. Glad you enjoyed it and weren't sarcastic about it

“Stop with the chords!” Yes! Please!
Brilliant! Kudos to Adam, John and Tramell for joining in the fun. Can’t wait for season 2!
That was 11/10.
That was pretty f$&@ing brilliant! 🤯

GENIUS!!! We were cry-laughing!!!
You are one of the best to make me laugh out loud and it feels good, thanks Steve C
My two worlds colliding. Love it. Rewatching severance right now.
Adam Scott low-key dancing made my entire day.
This is a classic Colbert bit. Love it!
We need more remote segments, Stephen! Like Conan and Letterman used to do.
Remember Steve C. Is 56 or 54 with 3 Children! 😂😂😂
