I love the ted lasso opening. What a treat. Ted's the best feel-good pep talker.

The slap on the back of Colbert's head by Hannah and the spurt of whipped cream is a classic bit that should go down in history.

Stephen looks so much like Higgins it’s killing me 😂😂

[joboyogi]

Such a shame that everyone has been sleeping on what an absolute babe Hannah Waddingham is until now. She needs to be in everything.

[jacquelinevs]

Everything Ted Lasso touches turns to gold 💛

I asked myself: “Where’s Brett Goldstein?” And then I answered myself: “He’s here, he’s there, he’s every-f***ing-where”

[jennifertharp]

Hannah always shows up being absolutely stunning every.single.time! ⭐

I am obsessed with Ted Lasso and cast… gonna miss it.

[juliaconnell]

of *ALL* days - this is one that Stephen is really going to enjoy - and does *not* need a pep talk for - the day many of us have been waiting for, for YEARS - drumpf being "indicated" (sic) 🥳🥳🥳

[dylanwithrow]

I’m bummed Roy Kent wasn’t in attendance 😞

[senguptasayn]

I just can't get enough of Hannah.

[TheLettybird]

Love how much effort you put into this.

[napoleonibonaparte]

Ted Lasso should be on the Dad Talk segment with Colbert for sure.

[NewMessage]

Well I'm inspired!

To rewatch Season one of Ted Lasso!

[NJB]

For a second there, I thought the sign was going to say Be Steve 😆

[misterbennnn]

The Ed Sullivan Theater is so cold Stephen can keep ice cream in his locker without worry 😂

[renebens]

Adorable!! Two really cool shows I like together!

[pete-treedish]

“Hey Danny… remember what I said about saying catch phrases for free?”💀😭

[pattinello]

Hannah is particularly fabulous in this one.
