Is The Late Show with Stephen Colbert new tonight, February 17?

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert has been missing all week. Is tonight the night things finally change?

If you’re a late night television fan, then chances are you’ve noticed something missing this week. The number one show has not aired a new episode through the first two nights of the week. The Late Show has not aired a new episode this week, leaving fans without Stephen Colbert’s take on the impeachment verdict and subsequent fallout in the Republican Party.

Unfortunately, that won’t change on Wednesday. There will not be a new episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert tonight.

Instead, CBS will reair the Jan. 14 episode. Fans can watch Colbert’s conversation with Senator Bernie Sanders about the Capitol insurrection. The show also features a performance by FINNEAS.

Some fans may wonder why The Late Show doesn’t rely on guest hosts like other late night shows have when Colbert is off the air. But beyond the challenges that would present during a pandemic, the time off is also necessary for The Late Show‘s staff who are working just as hard as the host to produce a top-rated program night after night.

Revisit the best of Senator Bernie Sanders on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert has become the unofficial late night home of Senator Bernie Sanders. The Vermont Senator has had several conversations with Stephen Colbert during his past bids for the White House and when any other major political story has made headlines.

The interview that airs tonight was especially noteworthy because of the subject matter. Fans watched as Colbert expressed anger and horror about the Capitol riot in the days after the event. To hear Sen. Sanders weigh in on what happened added another layer to the story.
