Stephen Colbert has had COVID-19. He tested positive and had to cancel several episodes of The Late Show while recovering2. During one bout in October 2023, he initially tried to continue hosting from home but ultimately took the rest of the week off following doctor’s orders. He humorously mentioned using “a heady blend of Paxlovid and onions in my socks” to rebuild his immune system—a nod to a joke from fellow late-night host Jimmy Fallon.
