“Love you Stephen,” Severance actor Adam Scott wrote in the comments of Colbert’s Instagram clip. “This is absolute bullshit, and I for one am looking forward to the next 10 months of shows.” Jon Batiste, the show’s former bandleader, called Colbert “The greatest to ever do it,” via Instagram comments.

Late-night hosts including Jon Stewart and Jimmy Fallon joined Colbert in solidarity. “I’m going to go ahead and say it,” he quipped. “Cancel culture has gone too far.”
