The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is getting at least one more week off this summer, as the CBS late-night talk show is not going to be airing new episodes for the week of July 29 to August 2. However, if The Late Show is part of your nightly routine, it should be a little comforting to know that reruns are going to air each night in its usual time slot of 11:35 pm ET/PT on the network.
As for why Colbert is taking the week off, CBS did not provide an official reason, but the host hinted at one during the monologue of his most recent new episode that aired on Thursday, July 25. While commenting on how Vice President Kamala Harris, now the Democratic front-runner for the presidency, has seen strong support from those 18-34, Colbert said, "We youth love Kamala Harris. Dab on my rizz kings. I am one of you. Or, I will be after this vacation." So it seems like the late-night host is taking time for some R&R before things pick up as we head into fall.
