(AP Photo/Comedy Central, Scott Gries)NEW YORK (AP) — Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report” is off the air, and it’s a mystery why.
An expected new episode of the show was replaced by a repeat on Wednesday. Comedy Central said Thursday’s live show will be off, too.
The network said it was airing the repeats “due to unforeseen circumstances,” but it offered no other explanation. A person close to the show, who wasn’t authorized to speak publically on the matter, told the Associated Press that new episodes are expected to return soon.
A publicist for Mr. Colbert declined to comment.
Mr. Colbert’s popular “fake commentary” program airs Monday through Thursday at 11:30 p.m. EST, following “The Daily Show” with Jon Stewart.
