Stephen Colbert's Appendix Rupture Forces Cancellation of 'Late Show'

Late night host Stephen Colbert is recovering from surgery for a ruptured appendix, leading to the cancellation of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" this week. Colbert expressed gratitude to his doctors and family for their support and humorously stated that his pancreas will now handle all emails to his appendix. A ruptured appendix can be life-threatening and requires immediate surgery to remove the appendix and clean the abdominal cavity. Colbert has been hosting the show since 2015 and was previously the host of Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report."
