Adam Scott (Severance, Parks and Recreation, Stepbrothers) is an Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated actor and comedian. Adam joins the Armchair Expert to discuss why the era of movies that produced ET, The Goonies, and Temple of Doom means so much to him, how Severance was in such apt alignment with the grief for his mother’s death, and the reason playing “fan at bar” is way more embarrassing than “guy at bar.” Adam and Dax talk about a call of the void by licking lead, rebranding artisanal nicotine delivery systems, and the ethical dilemma of whether to sneak a peek at new season episodes. Adam explains sleeping through his first call time on set with John Turturro and Christopher Walken, not knowing where to put what he does to impress his mom once she was gone, and how sharing your insides is a credibly important way to make a difference in the world.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Yeah.
We discovered, which I would have not guessed. Yeah. I forget now. Seven. Seven. In the interview, we realized he was the seventh guest. Yeah.
It does feel like it's been a long time since he's come on, but not that long.
No, I just didn't think he was that early. I felt like we were up and running for a while and I reached out.
Me too.
But yeah. So this is his second trip. Oh, this will be good because I remembered this. There's a point in the interview where I go, weren't you super into hip hop?
Yeah, you did.
And he's like, no.
