The late-night lineup was officially on hiatus this week amid widespread social distancing efforts aimed at slowing the spread of the novel coronavirus.
But despite telling viewers his show would go without new episodes for at least two weeks, Stephen Colbert wasn’t content to leave his viewers with reruns.
The “Late Show” host surprised fans on Monday with a special “social distancing edition,” airing on CBS during the show’s normal time slot — which he hosted from his bathtub.While his fellow hosts were relegated to YouTube, and not their usual networks, Colbert’s bathtub address set the tone for a week of remote check-ins from the likes of Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Trevor Noah and more.
