[@lakkadbagga]

He is so good in Severance. I hope he wins an Emmy for this one.

[@bananka4905]

He also is in a facebook ad scam. On how to make fast money. The ad is he walks in a strangers home and sets the homeowner up on a trading site of somesort and the guy gets money immediately. When i saw that ad i thought i know that guy from aomewhere... low and behold i was watching 'Leap Year' a romantic comedy.. and there he was

[@alexlazzerly3677]

One of the most original shows I’ve seen in a long time.

[@mobrownblues9442]

We literally just got finished watching Scott's "Severance". We are Begging for MORE!

[@DeztheDJ88]

it was SO good. and we need some answers lol. Season 2 (and hopefully more) is going to be a painful wait

[@b-dub6865]

It’s sooo good! The final episode was intense!! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. So damn good!

[@joejoeyjoel]

I don’t know if I’d call it Scott’s Severance. More like Ben Stiller’s Severance.

[@DK_75]

@@joejoeyjoel Dan Erickson's Severance. He is the creator of the show

[@joejoeyjoel]

@@DK_75 I guess you could say it’s all of theirs. I probably give too much love to directors and Dan Erickson is a great screenwriter, but, I think Ben stiller set the visual style and tone of the show. My point was that actors get too much credit..

[@gnperdue]

Anyone who’s seen the show… can you imagine if they hadn’t picked up Season 2? If it had ended the way it did? It was such a ridiculous cliffhanger, the folks at Apple picked it up because they couldn’t bear to not know what happens next.

[@thecoffeecurator]

Hahah I'm sure another producer would pick it up or maybe Ben would help sponsor it himself but I'm sure the show will be treated with dignity. People are hooked!! 🎉

[@lolam4209]

all of the actors were phenomenal in this show. It has Christopher Walken in it too. Adam is very good in it too. It really is a sci-fi and thriller combined together

[@Corporations8MyBaby]

Severance is now the best TV show I have ever experienced.

[@leobender2910]

Watching Adam's interviews is like talking to the best friend from way back

[@PurushaDesa]

The casting in Severance is perfection. I am now blessed by knowing who Britt Lower is.

[@beckyleonardis6331]

Al Pacino is everyone's guy! One of the greatest actors of all time! Can't believe, Jimmy never had him as a guest on his show!

[@saifmahmudishtiakshushaan462]

I kinda had the same experience as Adam when I went to Italy a few years ago, talking to a local in English with an Italian-ish accent 😂 Severance is truly a remarkable show, can't wait for s2 bc I have SO many questions!

[@beckyleonardis6331]

Love Adam! He's so funny! I've never seen a show like Severance!

[@deceiver444]

Great show and Adam Scott is perfect for the role. He seems like a nice and smart person too.

Severance it’s insanely GOOOOOOD!!!! Like omg. Never would’ve excepted this creative mind from Adam Scott. Amazing directing from Stiller

Britt Lower was _criminally_ overlooked at the Emmys. I don't know if Zendaya was worthy of the win but for Lower not to even be nominated was shameful.

[@stevebaker2890]

I loved severance so much binged watched in 2 days x

[@francescofioroni70]

Severance is in my top tier list of series with Dark

[@MariePoulin]

My people! Also my two top tier shows! Have you seen Maniac yet?

[@hightoppler]

I like this! I remember how great it felt when I found Severance after I searched shows like "Dark".

Easily one of the best show hope they don't ruin it

[@firstfireofautumn]

This is basically what I’d do if Kevin Bacon pointed out Adam Scott to me at a party

[@sebluketravis2438]

It has that same raw quality (Severance) as The Truman Show in my humble opinion! Great actor. Just wish actors at 50 would embrace the grey!

[@htwa]

I thought he was like early 30s wtf

[@firstfireofautumn]

I don't think he dyes his hair. In close-up, you can see that he's got specks of grey. I think he's just got some good hair genes!

[@danellego3936]

nice to see you again, ben wyatt

[@janaenae1338]

I thought for a second, boy!!!I would love to talk to him and all his friends on the fourth of July but I thought well why not July 8th? And what I would want to explore is the idea of being kind and respectful always to the cutest man in the world and making sure he's okay making sure he is safe from harm and making sure he is treated with kindness and treated with lots of love because he's such a cutie pie and wow....he means the world to me. Thanks boys.😊❤️

[@Tedster10]

Jimmy’s fake enthusiasm and laugh is really going strong in this interview

[@carmendiaz581Maywood]

came expecting Adam Scott talking to A.I. Al Pacino...

[@itsreallymefyi]

Excellent premise for a show, but it moves way too slow and I know this is an unpopular opinion, but it is so boring. *Gasp* Love Adam though, it's the only reason I squeak through this while my roommate watches it.

[@aaronhedick4355]

You haven’t been to Italy or met Al Pacino?! Are you even a rich guy?!?

[@gremlinaftermidnight4493]

Oddly bone structured human, that Adam Scott. It’s like the millennial generation’s version of Christopher Walken without the peculiar cadence.

[@Bendrix27]

Horrible choice of scene to show, that won't get anybody to check it out, there's hundreds of better scenes they could have shown. Just look at Adam's face afterwards, he's holding back a full cringe like "Seriously guys, that's the scene you went with?"

[@lgrillo]

I don’t know about that. I’m on both a FB group about Severance and a Reddit sub about Severance and it is crystal clear that “The work is mysterious and important” has become an iconic phrase.

[@bananka4905]

Adam scott plays in a false ad on facebook on how to make money fast. It is a scam. Hilarious. It is suppose to be serious . And real. But it is a fake ad. The ad is he walks in a strangers home and goes onto his laptop and sets him up on some sort of trading. I thought this is a scam.. and also.. i know that guy from somewhere. Bingo! He plays the fiance in the romantic comedy Leap Year.

[@mr.balloffur]

Ummm no

[@wendyschiavone]

Love this man but shame on the stylist you really let him go on stage with his hair flying out. Wtf..

[@Cordovan]

Amazing as he is, he kinda fumbled summarizing the show. I just say: "Stranger Things meets The Office" Simple as.
