Tramell Tillman Jokes Stephen Colbert Was a ‘Pain in the Ass’ During His Visit to Severance Set

Stephen Colbert had an unforgettable visit on the set of Severance.

Three years after the talk show host, 60, visited the Apple TV+ show for a segment on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, he reminisced about the hilarious onset visit with cast member Tramell Tillman, 39.

Tillman, who plays Seth Milchick on the show, appeared on a recent episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, when the TV host said visiting the Severance cast on location “was an amazing treat.”

“I mean, that’s like me going to Middle Earth. That was incredibly exciting,” said Colbert excitedly, causing Tillman to ask, “When are you coming back?”

“Anytime you want man. I didn’t know I was playing coy about it,” Colbert immediately responded, causing the audience to laugh.

The television personality then asked if he disrupted Tillman’s day when he visited the set. “Did you have time for that or was it a pain the ass?” Colbert asked.

“You were a pain in the ass,” Tillman responded before Colbert cut to a clip from the “musical dance experience” bit that aired on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in August 2022.

Afterwards, Tillman said, “I think my favorite part is when you were backing your ass up on me. That has to be my favorite part.”

“Back it up like a Tonka truck. That’s what I do,” Colbert hilariously said.

After the first season of Severance dropped in 2022, fans waited till January 2025 for season 2 to be released, due to the 2023 writers and actors strikes.

In season 2, Tullman’s character goes from being a supervisor on Lumon Industries’ severed floor, who also serves as Harmony Cobel’s (Patricia Arquette) right-hand man, to her floor manager.

Tullman told PEOPLE that “rewatched season 1” to prepare for the new episodes.

“I think rewatching the work, rereading the scripts, continuing to have conversations with [series creator] Dan [Erickson], with [director] Ben [Stiller] about where Milchick goes in the new season was really helpful. Any ideas that I had to really craft more meaning for him was also really impactful,” he told PEOPLE in January.
