The Colbert Report Suddenly Off The Air

As of this update, no one knows exactly what happened Wednesday at The Colbert Report and Comedy Central ain’t saying nothing. Ticket holders were turned away…no one was told anything…it’s crazy.

So far the speculation includes that  Stephen Colbert finally went too far…that something might be up with his SuperPac…and some say someone in his family is ill. More to come soon.

Comedy Central remained deafeningly silent Thursday as to why one of its biggest franchises, “The Colbert Report” suddenly went dark Wednesday citing “unforeseen circumstances.”

Minus actual information, frantic fans began to speculate ghoulishly about the state of Colbert’s health, his family’s health, the mental health of his staff, his SuperPAC, his relationship with the network, and whether the show had been canceled, or he could have been booked for a last minute trip to Afghanistan.  Meanwhile, The Reporters Who Covered Television, did their bit to fan the flames. By late afternoon, a report that Colbert’s 91-year-old mother was ill was leading the pack, with Huffington Post citing one source –  a “person who has a business relation with the show.”
