0:39Now PlayingStephen Colbert has canceled “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” for the week after suffering a health scare.
On Monday, Colbert, 59, posted on Instagram via his show’s official account, “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.”
A ruptured appendix can be a life-threatening condition that requires immediate surgery. Famously, that was the cause of death for master escape artist Harry Houdini at age 52.
Colbert did not specify when he became aware of his condition, or when he went to the hospital.
The comedian has been hosting “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” on CBS since 2015, succeeding “The Late Show With David Letterman.”
