After the show was suspended last week due to "an emergency in Mr. Colbert's family," the Times' Brian Stelter reports that The Colbert Report will resume production tomorrow. Though sources close to Colbert said that he was caring for his 91-year-old mother Lorna, that information was never confirmed. On Friday, Colbert tweeted: "My family and I would like to thank everyone who has offered their thoughts and prayers. We are grateful and touched by your concern."
The youngest of 11 children, Colbert is said to have an "especially tight relationship" with his mother after his father and two brothers died in a plane crash when he was ten.
Check out a video of Colbert telling Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. about his family's history, and what it means to be an Irish Catholic.
