While Adam Scott’s portrayal of Mark Scout in the Apple TV+ series Severance has garnered much praise, it seems the actor had some reservations about how audiences would perceive it before its premiere.

Adam Scott is reflecting on a time he seriously bombed on TV — but luckily for the Severance actor, it didn’t air. On Monday’s episode of Conan O’Brien’s podcast, Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend, Scott was a guest and opened up about the time when he visited O’Brien’s show to promote Big Little Lies season two and explained a bit he loosely prepared — which included Scott comparing his fellow castmembers to an 80s supergroup — that turned out to be “one of the most deeply embarrassing moments” he’s had.
