CBS‘ Late Show will be on an unplanned post-Thanksgiving hiatus after host Stephen Colbert says he is recovering after surgery for a ruptured appendix.

Colbert shared the news on Instagram’s Threads service.

“Sorry to say that I have to cancel our shows this week,” the statement begins. “I’m sure you’re thinking, ‘Turkey overdose, Steve? Gravy boat capsize?’ Actually, I’m recovering from surgery for a ruptured appendix. I’m grateful to my doctors for their care and to Evie and the kids for putting up with me. Going forward, all emails to my appendix will be handled by my pancreas.”

I haven’t watched the Late Show since I didn’t watch it when that bleepwad Letterman hosted it.

Sepsis is a big risk for Colbert. There’s been a big spike in sepsis cases in California and the article I read about it says it is a new strain of bacteria causing the problem.

The problem is nationwide but California is the best at capturing the data about it.

Great. The Ivy League thugs could use a little time off from late night TV with all of these “hate da Jews” protests that they have to do. Having the evenings off will give them time to wash their balaclavas, jock straps (the wymmyn) and their ninja Hammy suits.

At older ages ruptured appendix could get dicey as the abdominal cavity can be sprayed with intestinal bacterial flora. Hope they choose the correct antibiotics.
Hope this teaches the smug, unfunny, vulgar person to be a bit humble as he knows how vulnerable he can be.

Colbert? Claudette Colbert, I presume. Don’t know a Stephen Colbert.

The appendix is on the right side and his just couldn’t take it any more.
