Stephen Colbert Takes Time Off from Hosting The Late Show Due to COVID-19 Recovery
Stephen Colbert, the beloved host of The Late Show on CBS, will be stepping away from his hosting duties for the remainder of the week as he continues to recover from a bout of COVID-19. In a heartfelt message shared on Twitter, Colbert informed his fans about his expected absence and assured them that he is taking the necessary time off to rest and recover.
Colbert, a Washington, D.C. native, humorously expressed his commitment to delivering the high-quality talk show that his audience loves by referring to it as a “hand crafted, artisanal talk show.” Additionally, he shared an image of a wooden box containing socks, onions, and a greeting card sent by fellow late night host Jimmy Fallon, which he jokingly claimed would help in rebuilding his immune system.
The decision for Colbert to take time off comes after initially attempting to continue hosting the show from home while he was COVID-19 positive. However, he ultimately decided to prioritize his recovery and focus on his health for the time being.
Colbert had previously faced cancelations of shows in April and May of 2022 due to the virus. Despite receiving criticism from podcaster Joe Rogan regarding his support for vaccinations, Colbert remains grateful for his vaccination and boosters, stating that he is feeling fine.
Throughout his absence, Colbert’s dedicated audience can look forward to seeing a slew of notable guests, such as Keegan-Michael Key, the Talking Heads, Jon Batiste, and Rachel Maddow, once he returns to hosting duties. In the meantime, viewers can catch The Late Show With Stephen Colbert weeknights on CBS at 11:35/10:35c.
