What a wonderful human. The whole Claud bit shows another level of how cool he is.

[@KissesFromCanada]

Him and his pet ferret. I guarantee that was improv.

[@morbidmanmusic]

claud is already in the "game"

[@tapio_m6861]

Paul Rudd is the perfect benchmark for celebrities. Funny, humble, kind. The closer to a Paul Rudd you can be, the better person you truthfully are.

[@TheKindredTrucker]

I honestly don't know a lot about Taylor Swift beyond what I see in shows like this. But I bartended in Chicago music venues for years and there's an interesting phenomenon I noticed: the vibe of the crowd is always a direct reflection of the character of the performer. This tends to be true for both musical and comedy acts. Performers that express positivity and kindness tend to have the absolute nicest fans, and as a person serving them, this is very much noticed. And the contrary also tends to be true. This tells me that TS must be a good egg and I'm glad to hear that her army of fans are a positive bunch.

[@GoodFang]

❤

[@HaHaThatIsFunny]

I used to work at music venues in my 20's and wholeheartedly agree. Your observations are quite astute. Interestingly, Disturbed fans seemed very disturbed 😂

[@leahgerstel]

How can ya not LOVE PAUL RUDD?! 🫶☀️🫶☀️🫶☀️ Paul Rudd makes ya feel good! What an awesome human. The Claude story is perfection. Of course he “stopped by” to be in that video. ❤🎉

[@steffie17]

Paul being a swiftie is so adorable 😊

[@JillKnapp]

Paul Rudd makes me feel like humanity chose the right person to make famous. 👍♥️

[@NYandAZ]

He’s such a kind person! He made Claude’s whole life. He’ll forever have the flex to say he met Paul Rudd at Taylor’s Eras tour and then he was in his music video. Aww. I love everything about this! ❤

[@kieramccarthy4841]

Did he spend this whole segment talking up other people? He is the fucking best. So humble, kind, and hilarious. Also his bit of air playing piano as Mike in Friends brings me SO much joy everytime I think about it.

[@cookiesncream789]

The fact that Paul Rudd made a video with Claude is so incredibly sweet! What a humble and down to earth guy!

[@Ltmotley]

Paul Rudd is talented, humble, handsome, humorous and kind. He is the total package.

[@radicallybean]

and he’s got a nice package too!

[@rog2881]

No, Ryan is. He's everything I'm not and everything I am. He's the whole package.

[@Picklesnot-co3k]

Do you guys hear this? This is what women want.

[@marjoriegarland2798]

Love that Paul as actor, as person!!! ❤💞💋

[@steveconn]

In person can be curt and cold. Was on a film of his once :/

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Thank you for sharing Paul. He is soo nice!!!😊😊

[@s_mcflarth2138]

I love the way Paul was very sure to use the correct pronouns when talking up the very talented Claud. Take a lesson folks, it's very easy to be a good human and respect all people for the beautiful humans they are.

[@JebediahWhite]

Slightly disappointed this wasn't a clip of a kid in a wheelchair flying off a cliff.

[@hoozle]

Rudd would never cheat on Conan like that!

[@prezpolk4ever]

He wouldn’t, but you do still miss it when it’s not there.

[@jcoopes5604]

My first thought! Will we get an actual clip!

[@gurkdoinwork]

LMAO was waiting for 'Mac and Me' clip too

[@tiffanymichelle8412]

Wrong show

[@busboyrc]

Who else was fully expecting to see a clip of Paul's iconic Mac and Me clip? He's the best

[@bryceallen]

I love how Paul engages with his fans

[@Zen_17k]

Paul Rudd is simply an amazing human being!💙

[@angeladawn805]

Just as I judge people who don't like dogs: anyone who doesn't like Paul Rudd, weeellll ..... they're deficient

[@HaHaThatIsFunny]

Deficient or Clueless??

[@KissesFromCanada]

This show made me happy 😊. Thanks for the great moments!

[@zachoxley]

I know this isn’t Conan, but I still half expected Paul to setup “Mac & Me” instead of Ghostbusters.

[@ilamarsh3564]

Same

[@jessiecoghlan7010]

I love Paul Rudd, what a ledge ❤

[@veritylalalala]

Paul Rudd is a gentleman and a scholar.

[@chino483]

It's a good thing that Paul Rudd doesn't setup a clip because everytime he makes an effort to setup a clip, it turns out to be a Mac and Me clip.🤣

[@gal1885]

I saw Claud open for Bleachers a couple years ago, they were AWESOMEEEEE

[@82gamerprincess31]

Ecto 1 is kinda infamous as one of the worst driving movie cars ever. That thing is a building on wheels and corners like a 1950’s school bus lol.

[@echalone]

I'm glad we now get to know who of the famous celibrities are assholes in reality, because it makes you appreciate human beings like Paul Rudd all the more. You rock Paul, never change :D

[@kimbernewman6403]

I love me some Rudd 😍

[@gal1885]

Bustin makes me feel good 🎶🎶🎶

[@bastiat6865]

How can you not love this guy. Even if it's a carefully curated public image, he is consistent. (I think the nice, humble persona is who really is.)

[@longlivedemocracy756]

Paul Rudd is the best!

[@TattedTyphoon]

paul rudd made sure he didnt say the wrong thing while talking about "claude" lol.

[@yurielcundangan9090]

Taylor Kansas City always never disappoints

[@Azarath_Metrion_Zinthos]

That's where Travis met Taylor & the whole love story happened.

[@johnransom1146]

He is achingly handsome

[@matguy1000]

i would have pissed my pant just on principle if the "Mac and Me" clip came up

[@TheDevnul]

Not gonna lie, I was hoping for it.

[@JustAChannel_13]

You're not alone

[@judyhowe2082]

Love that guy....❤💛❤💛

[@yurielcundangan9090]

Taylor never disappoint❤

[@nolongerlistless]

Taylors never disappoint/Taylor never disappoints... who knows which you mean and does it matter? 😂

[@Azarath_Metrion_Zinthos]

​@@nolongerlistlesswas this comment necessary? The op's was such a harmless comment.

[@djdollase]

I love this human being. I’ve actually briefly met him in a private gym in the apt building he (used to?) live in. He was the nicest, most unassuming and unselfish guy I’ve ever met. Will never forget that.

[@travisbickle2004]

The thumbnail makes Colbert look like he’s breathing fire

[@GoGreen44]

Steven the dragon colbert

[@fabshelleyg]

💯

[@jimmyispromo]

And... here for part 2

[@smorris7713]

I just love me some Paul Rudd👌🏼

[@maungl]

Rudd's the male version of Taylor Swift...a great human being. 💕

[@oubrioko]

_Bustin' makes me feel good_ *Everyone:* _Yes_

[@jessicaarcher2517]

I love Paul Rudd he is so funny 😭and so fineeee my first celebrity crush fr

[@justincastillogayray]

That song is at the top of one of my Spotify playlists

[@synonaculbertson8226]

Paul Rudd is the sweetest and that is why everyone loves him! Adorable!

[@raradis]

You gotta love Paul for everything he is. And you should check with Claud - he probably fainted! :)

[@thatslife208]

Have always loved Paul Rudd, one of the good guys!

[@needyverse]

Sometimes I forget the movie clip is only for Conan.

[@jkap34]

Which is why I want him on the podcast again. I liked it the first time, you just hear the audio and think "I know what's happening"

[@MexikanPanda]

I was waiting for the Mac and Me clip

[@nothembinkosilepesa8801]

Only us true fans know what you're talking about 😂😂😂

[@Tobikoyum7]

I fell in love with Paul when I first saw a clip of Courtney Love coming on to him with such ferocity... it was like watching a shark chase a baby penguin lol.

[@scottcampbell96]

Should have Lisa Kudrow teach Paul Rudd how to say “Je m’appelle Claude” in his next video.

[@MusicLover-my6fo]

This is the first time I've seen Paul Rudd actually look his age.

[@HRHDMKYT]

Did you just get high def? 😂😂😂 jk… I know Paul Rudd always looks young when he’s clean-shaven. Great genes!

[@fraaa96]

He is aging like the finest italian wine, keeps getting more charming every year, very funny, he is a present dad, seems so kind and humble AND ON TOP OF THAT HE LIKES TAYLOR SWIFT ?! THIS MAN IS THE GREENEST GREEN FLAG

[@jessa.ck25]

Paul Rudd will forever be the sexiest man alive. ❤❤❤

[@Vega2099x]

I was half hoping Rudd would pull a Mac & Me from the old Conan days!

[@GPTDavid]

Literally Paul Rudd, Mark Ruffalo, and Keanu Reeves should be our representatives when aliens show up to make treaties with us.

[@rhymeswithsomethingy4766]

Ant-Man will always be my favorite Paul Rudd movie. He brings humanity to a superhero role like nobody else 🐜🧍‍♂️😃

[@SasquatchAKAdventures]

I was hoping for the clip he always played on Conan.

[@lashendawest7509]

We love your show stephen colbert

[@jaredmatthews252]

Im waiting for paul rudd to pop up on the team coco podcast to share a ghostbusters clip. I keep wondering how mac and me can be translated into the podcast lol

[@Tonyhouse1168]

He did it once. It’s on one of the older episodes when they were in the old, all white studio. Conan roasts him for playing the clip during a podcast when people can’t see it

[@TINMAN-jm9sw]

Words are gone with the wind. Action is what needs to be done

[@extjerry]

Why was I lowkey expecting a Mac and me clip to pop up lol I miss those lol

[@randomrangoon5476]

Bustin makes me feel good 😂

[@SMD24]

Lol he needs to check out Hey Monday Cassadee Pope along with his daughter

[@rococoblue]

😂 seriously if Paul filmed a stunt will it count as a pr stunt?😂

[@kristinLB]

It’s no wonder he was people sexiest man alive!

[@Diy_Mike]

For a second, I REALLY thought Paul Rudd was going to play the clip from Mac and Me like he did on Conan.

[@AisuruMirai]

I just want to mention that the band Phantogram wrote a song called "Bill Murray," but Bill Murray has not let himself be in a music video or become friends with the band, despite their pleadings at concerts.

[@JT-rg3jt]

For a second I thought they were showing the scene from Mac and Me after the whole Claud bit.

[@mollyjones2944]

Not the movie promo footage I was expecting. You've changed, Paul Rudd, you've changed.

[@capt_bry]

i was waiting for the Mac and Me clip.

[@Trigger200284]

Is it weird that I was expecting Mac and Me to play? LOL

[@skhetan1]

I love Paul Rudd and I love Taylor Swift 😊

[@ChristopherButeau]

I was so ready for Mac and Me.

[@christineyetman640]

Paul Rudd has to be one of the funniest people around ...

[@AmarieH216]

Delightful person😊

[@warrenman1919]

I really hope Rick Moranis comes out of retirement for this film. One of my favorite actors from the 80s and 90s. ❤

[@kaiphi5350]

Bucket list, do rails with Paul Rudd 😂

[@Captain_Subpar]

I was totally expecting the clip to be the "Mac & Me" scene since Conan's show isn't around anymore.

[@lifewithmaura]

Props to Claude & Rudd for representing USPS in the vid! 📬 And why did that Ghostbusters clip have me 😭?!

[@sherylhagen6565]

Link to the video with Claude?

[@LittleBigMediaCo]

Not all superheroes wear capes ...

[@89nsalem]

Aww Paul is so cute

[@DiscoverStuff]

I was expecting that Paul Rudd will show Mac And Me, like he did on Conan

[@DNTXPCTMCH]

I want to be his friend 😂❤

[@HellInternAKACandyMD]

Sheesh! I'm starting to think being labeled, "Sexiest Man Alive" is going to his head, he's showing actual clips!

[@plaguedeity]

Ok I can't be the only one who saw the thumbnail for this on KZbin and thought that Stephen is portraying a dragon shooting fire at Paul in a attempt to portray Lord of the rings

[@shawn5346]

I never expect his clips to be from the actual movie he's promoting.

[@MathiasDemo]

Almost expected the clip to be from Mac & Me.

[@NewMessage]

I am so ready for that movie! I'm part of that insufferable couple who show up in full costume, and get the kids worked up right before they gotta go in and sit still in silence. Sorry.

[@desireeespinosa3954]

Don’t ever apologize for making wonderful memories that will last a lifetime time for your kids! We all need more play in our lives ❤

[@knockeledup]

Was anyone else hoping just a little bit they’d throw to a Mac and Me clip to carry on the tradition?

[@kristinLB]

You gotta google his mirror scene from wanderlust. Its hilarious!

[@Zastrutzki]

Damn it. I was hoping to get a clip from Mac and Me.

[@ProHobbyjogger]

I fully expected the clip to start with a kid in a wheelchair hurtling down a hill toward a cliff. I guess it’s better to keep that as a sweet, sweet in-joke with Conan.

[@SGAK2]

I really hope Paul Rudd doesn't do anything cancellable (that's a word now right?). Paul seems really nice. Don't ruin the nice, pleeeease! Like, I hope no one comes back to this comment from the future to write something akin to "wow, this comment didn't age well". I just hope they just come back to this video, from the future, to say "You know who aged well? No, not Dorian Gray! I'm talking about Paul Rudd!"

[@patwhitley8963]

Just tell me how you cannot love Paul Rudd! He’s from Kansas City, loves the Royals, the Chiefs, founder of Big Slick and is quite sexy! ❤

[@jareddaneman1251]

why is it that whenever I see Paul Rudd on any late night show I sort of expect the clip they cut to to be from Mac and Me

[@Civera89]

I love Colbert and the trailer was great but I kinda wanted Mac and Me to start up!

[@MMConsultinggroup]

I love how Paul Rudd's the measure (at least for my generation, the early 80's babies) on the richter-scale of celeb's who age-well. I just saw Michael Keaton doing his interview over on Kimmel, and I was like, woah too! Keaton aged-well! Dude''s looking good! Then of course, I immediately pulled the 'Paul Rudd richter scale' to see how well Keaton's aging lol. Keaton's probably like, 2 decades ahead of Rudd's generation. Either way though, like... who's the Paul Rudd of the Keaton generation? (I'm assuming it's got to go-by generations decade-wise, right?) So my final thought is this.... Keaton's the 73 year old Rudd.... "Just sayin'!

[@sir_vix]

It is so freaking weird to see paul rudd actually show a clip he is in. Then he goes and shows two in one interview.

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

What was that clip from?

[@robertsimonson2341]

Paul... I thought you were going to run the same clip you always did on Conan?? A boy can only hope? 🤣
