The show is definitely not going on — at least for now. On Monday, The Late Show With Stephen Colbert announced that it will not be taping new episodes until further notice after host Stephen Colbert began to experience symptoms indicative of a recurrence of COVID-19. Colbert himself shared the news as well with the comment “worst sequel ever”. Guests on Monday night’s show were to have included Sarah Silverman, Shaquille O’Neal and a musical performance Sharon Van Etten. Additional guests set to have appeared this week included Jean Smart, Hugh Dancy, Jake Tapper, Ken Jeong, and Regina Spektor.
Stephen is experiencing symptoms consistent with a recurrence of COVID. Out of an abundance of caution for his staff, guests, and audience, he will be isolating for a few additional days. The Late Show will not be taping new episodes until further notice.
