Likely to be dark all week. Muck Rack Daily recants: Comedy Central suspended tapings of The Colbert Report for the week. No explanation was immediately given. Frances Martel at Mediaite cites Third Beat as saying that “unforeseen circumstances” had been the reason given to ticket holders for canceling tonight’s show. Nina Mandell at the New York Daily News writes that Colbert’s “normally active Twitter feed has not been updated since Tuesday.”
