“Now you may have read New England Journal Hot goth I am very grateful that I was infected with COVID and that I was completely vaxxed and boosted. I feel good … Thank you, science, “he said in a confession. “But still, as I say, COVID isn’t fun. The first three days were terrible, the test was negative by day 6, but now I have a serious head cold on day 12. I pulled it back, so look at the figure. “

But when one late-night host returned to television, another had to take a break because of the coronavirus.

“Unfortunately, not everything works in the midnight kingdom,” Colbert continued. “My friend Jimmy Kimmel has announced that he is now infected with COVID. He says he feels good. He’s completely boosted to vaxxed, but it’s still on the air. TV is Jimmy Down! That’s why, as the organizer of the “Late Show,” I’m calling on President Biden to open a strategic Jimmy Sanctuary in the United States. “

“Of course I’m on the East Coast and Jimmy is in Los Angeles. I couldn’t give him that,” he said. “Still, I licked a lot and fedexed them into his office. But I only paid for two days. Must be sterile by the time he opens it. Dear friend , Jimmy, I feel better. “

The organizers said his wife, Evi, was also ill and joked that he was “forced to nest” at home during the illness.

The “Late Show with Stephen Colbert” will be broadcast globally at 11:35 pm on weekdays at ET / PT.
