Fans of Stephen Colbert won't be able to start off their week with the talk show host, as The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is not airing a new episode on CBS for Monday, September 16. Instead, a rerun of a previous episode is going to play in The Late Show's usual 11:35 pm ET/PT time slot.
This is the first time that Colbert has taken a night off since the "new season" of the talk show began at the start of September. Why? The official reason hasn't been shared by CBS or Colbert himself, but it's possible that Colbert and his team wanted to give themselves a day as many of them were at the Emmys on Sunday, September 15, in Los Angeles (they film in New York). Also, Colbert and his wife Evie McGee Colbert's new cookbook, Does This Taste Funny? Recipes Our Family Loves, releases on Tuesday, September 17, so Colbert is a busy man.
