Fans Pray for Stephen Colbert’s Speedy Recovery
Fans of the talk show host took to the comments section of his post to wish him well amid his recovery from a ruptured appendix, and just like the comedian, they sprinkled a little humor in their remarks.
One comment read, “That’s bad. Your pancreas is completely unequipped to handle the duties of your appendix. May the force be with you.”
Another joked, “Will you PLEASE take better care of yourself and stop eating whole sticks of butter? I’m begging you. Or does he regret it?”
A fan asked to know if the show would continue, saying, “Sorry about that and take care and get well soon! We will miss you! How about Jon Stewart or Elvis Costello stepping in in your absence????”
“Feel better! We love you and never miss a show! Looking forward to your return. Get well soon,” wrote a fourth individual.
He recently had late night legend David Letterman on the show
Colbert’s health emergency comes after a historic episode featuring former “The Late Show” host David Letterman.
Letterman made an appearance on the show last week, November 21, for the first time since his retirement in 2015. He told Colbert how much he missed the show, especially the musical guests and the chairs.
Before ending his guest appearance, Letterman asked Colbert if he would allow him to sit behind the desk where he retired after hosting for 33 years.
Colbert granted Letterman’s wish without hesitation. Sitting on a chair, the 76-year-old joked, “We’re doing this because my son can’t believe I’m putting on a show.”
The predecessor and successor then posed for a selfie, a callback to the one they took together in 2014 after Colbert was announced as Letterman’s successor.
We wish Stephen Colbert a speedy recovery!!
