Multiple New York-based late-night shows are going dark in the wake of the Coronavirus Outbreak.
According to The New York Times, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, and Seth Meyers are all opting to suspend production for the duration of the month. March 30 is the earliest projected date the shows could return.
The NBC and CBS late-night shows are popular daily American television series.
Following the networks’ announcements, Stephen Colbert’s “The Late Show” turned heads when he celebrated on-camera without a nearly empty audience late Thursday.
He also announced late Thursday that the show would be temporarily halting production as a safety precaution due to the coronavirus.
“We have a new show tonight no audience, but we canceled next week’s shows before our scheduled break,” Colbert tweeted. “I wish I could stay on stage to share this uncertain moment you, but I don’t do this show alone, and I have to do what’s best for my staff. Hope to be back soon.”
