Why The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is not new tonight, June 26

Stephen Colbert on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert has wrapped things up for the week, as there is going to be no new episode of CBS’s late night talk show on Thursday, June 26. Instead a rerun is going to air at the show’s usual 11:35 pm ET/PT on CBS. The reason appears to be that Colbert and his crew are heading out on their summer break.

The June 26 episode is the first of what will be 12 straight episodes of reruns for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, from June 26 to July 11. The Late Show typically takes a two-week break during the summer; for example, last year they were off from June 24-July 5. So this is just Colbert and company’s usual summer hiatus; he’s just getting an early start on it heading out a day earlier than usual (the show always airs reruns on Fridays).
