Stephen Colbert’s late-night talk show will not air on Thursday because he tested positive for coronavirus. “I’m alright – thankful to have been vaccinated and boosted,” the host tweeted on Thursday. Stephen Colbert’s The Late Show’s official Twitter page first reported his fight with COVID-19, writing, “Stephen Colbert was found to be infected with Covid 19. The concert for tonight has been cancelled.” The Late Show will air reruns on Friday and all of next week, before returning with new episodes on Monday, May 2 “as previously planned,” according to the statement. Colbert confirmed the post on his own Twitter account “Yes, indeed! I tested positive for Covid, but otherwise, I’m fine—thankful to have been vaxxed and boosted. Stephen Colbert says “Thank you for your kind words.
Yep! I tested positive for Covid, but basically I’m feeling fine- grateful to be vaxxed and boosted. Thank you for the well wishes. This just proves that I will do anything to avoid interviewing Jason Bateman. https://t.co/Vf5Ws5WVcE

What guests were supposed to appear in the now-cancelled episode?
This only goes to show that I’ll go to any length to avoid having to interview Jason Bateman.” Bateman, 53, and Laura Linney, 58, from Ozark, were scheduled to appear as guests on the now-cancelled episode. Last June, Colbert’s programme resumed in-person tapings. In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, he had been filming remotely since March 2020. Audience members were required to produce proof of full COVID vaccination at the time in order to be admitted to the packed house.
The show will return with a completely vaccinated crowd?
The show’s workers will be tested on a regular basis. And audience members will have the option of wearing masks, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “Yes, please! I’m excited to speak things that make others pleased and then hear them cheer. I don’t care if you boo or belch at this point. Allow her to run wild! “Last summer, Stephen Colbert cracked a joke. “This isn’t going to be a scattering of socially distant individuals. We’ll be back with a fully vaccinated crowd.” PEOPLE is devoted to bringing the most up-to-date information in our coverage as information regarding the coronavirus epidemic changes frequently.
