00:00 After returning from the writer's strike, the Late Show is hitting the pause button
00:03 once again.
00:04 The CBS late night show was pulled from the rotation for at least until next week as host
00:09 Stephen Colbert recovers from a COVID-19 diagnosis.
00:13 The comedian shared the news on Wednesday that he would be out and unable to tape for
00:16 the remainder of the week.
00:18 The show pivoted to its pandemic-era virtual style earlier this week, with Colbert performing
00:23 his monologue from his home after news initially broke of his diagnosis.
00:27 "Keen-eyed viewers may notice tonight's show looks just a little different.
00:30 I am not presently in the Ed Sullivan Theater.
00:34 I'm in the Ed Sullivan house."
00:36 Jada Pinkett Smith, who is doing press rounds to promote her new memoir Worthy, and comedian
00:41 Ricky Velez both appear during Monday's episode.
00:44 If the series returns next week, Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff, Lindsay Mendez, and musician
00:49 Arlo Parks are expected to appear.
