Mr Colbert has been hosting ‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ since 2015.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

American comedian and television host Stephen Colbert has cancelled ‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ <\/em>for the week after suffering a health scare. Taking to Instagram, Mr Colbert revealed that he is recovering after surgery and wiping out planned shows for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. “Sorry to say that I have to cancel our shows this week. I’m sure you’re thinking, “Turkey overdose, Steve? Gravy boat capsize?” Actually, I’m recovering from surgery for a ruptured appendix,” he wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The comedian added that he is “grateful” for his doctor’s care, and extended his gratitude to his wife Evie McGee-Colbert and their kids for “putting up” with him. “Going forward, all emails to my appendix will be handled by my pancreas,” he joked at the end of his statement.<\/p>\n

A ruptured appendix spreads infection throughout the abdomen, a condition called peritonitis, Mayo Clinic <\/a>explained. It can be a life-threatening condition that requires immediate surgery. Notably, Mr Colbert did not specify when he became aware of his condition, or when he went to the hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to CNN<\/em><\/a>, Mr Colbert had three shows planned, including guests Jennifer Garner, Baz Luhrmann, Patrick Stewart, Kelsey Grammer and Barbara Streisand. Grammy-winner Jon Batiste was also slated as Wednesday’s musical guest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fans were quick to comment on the Instagram post. “You just take care of yourself! Been there, done that. Be a sissy and get some rest,” wrote one user. “Oh my goodness! That must’ve hurt! Well, we know it’s gonna leave a scar anyway! Get well and we will see you soon!” said another.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, according to the outlet, Mr Colbert was forced to cancel a week’s worth of show last month as well after testing positive for Covid-19. The comedian has been hosting ‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ <\/em>on CBS since 2015, succeeding ‘The Late Show With David Letterman’.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
