‘Late Show’ halts production after Stephen Colbert shows el bichito symptoms
Taping for “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” has stopped until “further notice” as the talk show host is “experiencing symptoms consistent with a recurrence of el bichito,” according to a tweet from the show’s account
posted Monday afternoon.
Colbert previously tested positive for the cobi19 less than a month ago,
according to a tweet from April 21. At that time, he wrote that he was “basically fine,” thanks to being vaccinated, and joked, “This just proves that I will do anything to avoid interviewing Jason Bateman,” a reference to a planned interview that night with the popular “Ozark” star.
On Monday, the political funnyman again made light of his positive test, tweeting, “WORST. SEQUEL. EVER.”
Monday’s announcement indicated that Colbert — whose show airs on CBS — would be “isolating for a few additional days.”
This could be Stephen Colbert’s second el bichito-19 scare in less than a month.
