00:00 CBS's Late Show will be on an unplanned post-Thanksgiving hiatus.
00:05 The late night show will go dark for the week after host Stephen Colbert underwent surgery
00:09 for a ruptured appendix.
00:11 The host wrote, "Sorry to say that I have to cancel our shows this week.
00:14 I'm sure you're thinking, 'Turkey overdose, Steve?
00:17 Gravy boat capsize?'
00:18 Actually, I'm recovering from surgery for a ruptured appendix.
00:21 I'm grateful to my doctors for their care and to Evie and the kids for putting up with
00:25 me.
00:26 From now forward, all emails to my appendix will be handled by my pancreas."
00:30 The Late Show was scheduled to return Tuesday night with guests such as Jennifer Garner,
00:34 Baz Luhrmann, Sir Patrick Stewart, Barbara Streisand and Kelsey Grammer.
00:38 In addition, Jon Batiste, who was Colbert's first bandleader and left the show last year,
00:43 was scheduled to return to the program as an interviewee and musical guest on Wednesday.
