00:16 "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."
00:27 No details are released about when he fell ill and underwent surgery, how long he was hospitalized, or whether he has been discharged.
00:34 The cancellation of this week's shows marks the second disruption of Colbert's production schedule since returning to the airwaves in October following the end of the Hollywood Writers' Strike.
