Colbert report suspending for one week
So far no explanation of the reasons other than "unforseen (sic) reasons".

Reporting comes from TPM and Mediaite.

That's strange. Suspending, not suspended....could be anything from illness to new tricks by Colbert.

To be clear the word "suspending" was my language. The actual language in the report was "suspended taping".

I read that piece and went right past the suspended taping wording. I don't know what would be the reason for it.

It is now being reported that the reason for the suspension of taping is a family emergency. No other details as yet.

Been following this all day, this appears to be the latest:

Quote:3:02 PM – Today
Colbert's mother seriously ill, report sources close to the show

Multiple outlets have cited a family illness as the cause of the suspension of "The Colbert Report," and now a person who has a business relationship with the show has told Huffington Post that the host's mother is seriously ill, and the show will remain suspended until he can return.

Fans and supporters have been tweeting messages of love and support for Colbert and his family throughout the day.

Colbert was born the youngest of 11 children to mother Lorna, 91, and father James, who died in a plane accident in 1974 along with two of Colbert's brothers

Confirmed, Fox "news" makes you stupid

The ones you are noticing are more terrified than anything else. They are lashing out because they are comfortable; and to acknowledge what is happening is a threat to that comfort. Ignore them, for they are not the voices that will rise in the coming days, months and years. They are not the voices of our collected humanity. They are the old voices of fear and impotence. - Anonymous
