It's an extended vacation for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, as the CBS late night talk show is not airing new episodes for the week of August 5-9. This is the second straight week that the show has not had a new episode, though reruns continue to air nightly on CBS at 11:35 pm ET/PT.
As we previously wrote in the post detailing the week of July 29-August 2, on the last new The Late Show that aired July 25, Colbert mentioned that he was taking a vacation. Evidently, it is an extended one. As far as why the show was taking the hiatus now, no official reason was given, but you don't have to look too hard to guess: the Olympics.
