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.
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 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
@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'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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 .
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!
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
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
❤ 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! 😂
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.
0:29 imagine there was a government agency with the power to regulate Apple & Co and force them to use one standard all over the board - oh wait, the EU commission did that already 🤗
Honestly sometimes I wish other countries would become so strict about certain things, it would trickle in the US, where we obviously don't give a rats ass about anything but money lmao
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.
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.
This was genius! Comedy GOLD* Mashed-up two amazing shows brilliant idea. Stephen dancing to Smash Mouth's ALL STAR had me ROFLMFAO! Lost it* -This is why this is the best late night show on tv rn. No offense Fallon, Meyers, Kimmel, Trevor, they're also on my list of favorites. John Torturro's range to act is impressive, from drama to comedy and everything in between, He coudl've easily played Dwight in the Office (US)
that's what's so interesting to me. I watched the whole skit and I smiled a little, laughed at one of the jokes, but the vast majority I thought there wasn't really any humor in it. Fascinating how different our responses are. I do look forward ot the second season of severance though, even if it will be hard to follow
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.

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.
Adam Scott doing his dance in the doorway had me laughing 🤣
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...
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".🤣🤣
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 😛
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
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.
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
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
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" ;)
That was the best triple-crossover I've ever seen. Also possibly the first. Absolutely brilliant!
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 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
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
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?
Load
I loved this, and I loved that it totally obvious Adam Scott was on a green screen and just pasted into the scenes
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.

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
Dude this was the most genius and hilarious little sketch I’ve seen in AWHILE.
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
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!!
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”
That last "that's what she said" was brilliant! :-D
He hasn’t lost his awesome dance moves.
I friggin love that signature turn he does. 😆
who ever came up with the idea of the severance spoof is genius, give them a pay rise lol, loved it xx
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.
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 😂
Love Severance! And this was super fun. Tramell Tillman's character is just so great (and he's such a good actor).
Absolutely hilarious parody. One of the funniest bits yet. Loved the Steve Carrel reference.
The reaction on the elevator fart deserves an Emmy. 🤣
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!

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 .
That was hilarious. A fun way to let Steven show something different from his show host persona!
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
Missed this Colbert! More of this!!
I literally CANNOT get over this show. I've seriously reconsidered my life goals, ever since the finale
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
I'd love to see the bloopers!
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.
“Am I Steve Carell?” 😂😂
I love it when he gags 🤣🤣🤣🤣
two of my favorite shows colliding for some hilarious awesomeness. thanks for the laughs!
I want to see the outtakes.
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.
❤
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! 😂
Impressive in its creativity, performance, and production. Bravo.
This was a genius skit!
Agreed
@Hai Boai Last fart.
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
Absolutely brilliant! We need more Steven skits. This man is so talented, let him show all his colors. We give you our flowers!
We need more remote segments, Stephen! Like Conan and Letterman used to do.
Remember Steve C. Is 56 or 54 with 3 Children! 😂😂😂
So good! The dancing just made me blart! 😂😂.
This was brilliantly hysterical. Love the mashup. Dance, Stephen, dance.
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.
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!!
I’ve never even seen Severance, but I need to watch this skit every single day for possibly EVER!
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
Severance is the best show I've seen in a long time.
0:29 imagine there was a government agency with the power to regulate Apple & Co and force them to use one standard all over the board - oh wait, the EU commission did that already 🤗
Yeah, a government that isn't subservient to corporations and just does what's best for the consumer, unlike the U.S. That'd be refreshing.
Honestly sometimes I wish other countries would become so strict about certain things, it would trickle in the US, where we obviously don't give a rats ass about anything but money lmao
A performance worthy of an Oscar!
Laugh out loud funny, so thank you.
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! 😂
Me too
My two worlds colliding. Love it. Rewatching severance right now.
Genius writers & cast… sooo funny!!!
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.
I feel sorry for all the people who haven't watched the show, because they won't get how hilarious this segment was
This is a classic Colbert bit. Love it!
OMG! I love the Scarlett O'Hare reference
O'Hara* (Nothing to do w/ the airport in Chicago. Lol)
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😁👍
yes, the colbert spin dance!
I love Severance. Does this mean they’re filming S2 now, if they got all these guys together on set?
No I think the beards show they're happily on vacation lol.
@@EmpyreanLightASMR has
Oh man! This is so hilarious. I love Stephen Colbert!
“Stop with the chords!” Yes! Please!
OMG-the dancing!
Brilliant! Thank you!
"That's what she said." Had me rollin'. 🤣
Of COURSE it had to end that way!
Brilliant stuff, as usual.
Severance is a horror show if you've ever worked in an office
Which is why I prefer "Office Space" Man, it feels good to be a gangsta. Oh, I'll be back.....I have a meeting with the Bob's.
It has one of the best finales I’ve ever seen.
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.
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.

Wow, everything you touch!!’
Congratulations 🎈🎉
DAMN ! That took some serious work 👍😂
That was pretty f$&@ing brilliant! 🤯
Classic Dwight!
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
😂
Genius! 🙌👏

Who doesn't love The Office!
The original Ricky Gervais version. Very much yes. Cringe comedy of the highest order. The US watered down remake? Meh.

I love both of them.

I thought it would be a decent bit, but that was REALLY good.
I could watch 12 more hours of this and it still wouldn't be enough 😍
The Reappearance of The Colbert Twirl!!!!!
big fan of this idea. would definitely love to see more skits w/ popular shows/movies. very refreshing!
I’m so glad they got the actual cries to do this with him. I love Severence can’t wait for season 2
Trying to see the show ASAP
Oh, I guess you just got spoiled...didn't you?
Severance is crazy good. Glad Stephen is a fan! He has great taste!
He played a document forger in a Law&Order:Criminal Intent episode years ago.
