Early production on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert came to a screeching halt Wednesday as United Airlines flights were grounded, the New York Stock Exchange went dark and dogs began walking on two legs — mass hysteria!

Colbert said, “I have to wonder if there’s anyone left alive to see this broadcast. For all I know, I’m the last celebrity alive on earth and the apes have taken over the talk shows. But if apes are the new people, who are the new apes? Dogs? They’re not ready for that kind of responsibility!”
