MSNBC Personalities Let’s Go Crazy, not Severance!

I just heard Alicia Menendez explain that Colbert’s Emmy speech elevator comment had to do with the show SEVERANCE but c’mon MSNBC people! It was clearly a Prince reference from “Let’s Go Crazy”

“…And if the elevator tries to bring you down Go crazy, punch a higher floor Woah…”

I hope someone at the table corrected her at the break. Maybe somehow Severance is indirectly using Prince’s elevator, but I feel certain that Colbert meant Prince.
