If you’re looking for your usual dose of Emmy-winning jokes and banter from Stephen Colbert via The Late Show With Stephen Colbert tonight, November 5, you’re out of luck. There will be no new episode of the series this evening on CBS, and unless you’re in the Pacific Time zone, there won’t even be a rerun episode airing.
So why the big interruption? Well, it all boils down to it being Election Day in the US, and CBS, along with NBC and ABC, planning to have news coverage of the election results. This of course means that there will also be no new episodes of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on NBC or Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC. Instead of late-night jokes and commentary on pop culture, TV watchers should buckle in for post-election coverage.
