Stephen Colbert Cancels 'The Late Show' Episodes Following Appendix Surgery

The late-night host is recovering from a ruptured appendix, leading to the cancellation of this week's shows. This marks the second disruption to the show's schedule in recent months.

Late-night host Stephen Colbert has cancelled this week's episodes of 'The Late Show' as he recovers from surgery for a ruptured appendix.
Colbert announced the news via a post on the CBS show’s official Threads page on Monday, expressing gratitude to his doctors and family.
The cancellation marks the second disruption of Colbert's production schedule since his show returned to the airwaves in early October following the end of the Writers Guild of America strike.
Guests scheduled for this week's shows, including Jennifer Garner, Baz Luhrmann, Patrick Stewart, and Kelsey Grammer, will have their appearances rescheduled.
A ruptured appendix is a severe form of appendicitis that spreads infection throughout the abdomen and requires immediate surgery.
