"The Colbert Report" vanished yesterday, and the internet went wild. Stephen Colbert's disappearance was even live-blogged. Eventually, it was revealed that the cause was a family emergency.
This post was deleted for the following reason: "Internet talks about rumors in absence of hard data" doesn't really seem like much of a thing to talk about. -- restless_nomad
Oy vey, my first Metafilter post, and it has a typo. Not yesterday, it was actually 2/15. Anyway, carry on.

As jaded as I am about media, I have to say that I consider Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart my friends.
I want to send his mom some flowers.

So some people lost their shit over something, and it turned out to be standard stuff that's not worth getting excited about? This is unprecedented. Please tell us more.

Couldn't we at least get a link to a People Magazine article?

Yeah, that was weird yesterday. "COLBERT REPORT SUSPENDED!" as if there was something nefarious going on. Dude's mom is sick and probably dying. Let him and his family be with them and leave 'em alone. We don't all need to speculate.

I hope everything will turn okay with his mom, though.
