Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard Sent Adam Scott Voice Memos to Complain About ‘Severance'
'The endings to every episode of 'Severance' are so biologically frustrating that I don't know how you guys expect anyone to sleep after an episode with that level of a cliffhanger,' Bell started. 'So what Dax and I tend to do is, when we see someone whose work we love or whose work frustrates us — as in your case — we leave you a nice, long, detailed, unedited voice memo. And you got a lot of those.'

Scott professed to have saved every one of the messages, calling them both 'deeply flattering' and 'deeply insulting.' While deep in production on the second season, one message from Bell and Shepard said, 'Hey, just curious, are you guys shooting this one minute per week? Why is it taking so fucking long?' Scott teased, 'Just because you guys left that message, it's now going to take seven years for the next season.'
Bell's favorite memo came when Shepard screamed out the message, 'Hey, Adam. Kristen just fell out of a two-story window. I bet you'd like to know how she's doing. I'll tell you next week!'
Bell and Shepard are typical of the committed 'Severance' fanbase, as Scott related to The Los Angeles Times in March.
'I was a huge 'Lost' fan and huge 'Twilight Zone' person, so I totally get it,' he said. 'I don't really dive into all the theories and stuff on this, but I have seen some on Instagram, which is usually video of a podcast where they're really diving into one theory or the other. Also, all of the artwork that people are making, it's overwhelming and incredible. Whenever I see one on Instagram, I save every single one.'
Bell, Shepard, and the rest of the 'Severance' heads will have to wait a while for the third season. While its production has been confirmed by executive producer Ben Stiller and Apple TV+, a date has yet to be announced.

A DWTS Pro's Airport Fiasco Sends Fans Into a Frenzy: 'THIS IS GOLD'
A DWTS Pro's Airport Fiasco Sends Fans Into a Frenzy: 'THIS IS GOLD' originally appeared on Parade. From Daniella Karagach and Pasha Pashkov to Emma Slater and Alan Bersten and beyond, Dancing With the Stars has quite a few fan-favorite couples, but husband-and-wife duo Jenna Johnson and Val Chmerkovskiy are arguably the most hilarious of them all. If you didn't think so, Chmerkovskiy's latest TikTok video might just have you sold… Yesterday (August 10), the DWTS pro shared a TikTok video at the airport with his wife — fellow DWTS pro Johnson — going through security together. Although going through security at the airport is pretty standard, in the video, Johnson is seen getting evaluated by the TSA worker while Chmerkovskiy pans over to the screen. With a red square around her nether region, said screen shows that Johnson's crotch area is what needed further investigation. As if that whole airport fiasco wasn't funny enough, the caption is what sent fans into a frenzy, comprised of just two emojis: '💣 🐱' Needless to say, fans had a field day in the comment section. 'Okay Val, you win #1 caption,' one fan wrote, while another added, 'LMAO THE CAPTION??? 😭' A third exclaimed, "VAL I'M CACKLING," summing up the sentiment of a majority of viewers. Regardless of the setback, it is safe to say that both Chmerkovskiy and Johnson made it to their destination safely, with the latter posting an Instagram reel on the plane captioned, "OMG I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!! NYC ✈️ Paris," later in the evening. For all of the updates regarding their European travels, it is safe to say we will be keeping up with both parties on Instagram until further notice: @jennajohnson and @valentin. A DWTS Pro's Airport Fiasco Sends Fans Into a Frenzy: 'THIS IS GOLD' first appeared on Parade on Aug 11, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Aug 11, 2025, where it first appeared.
