Stephen Colbert surprised fans of his talk show by still delivering a new episode on the night of Monday, March 16. All late night talk shows had suspended production beginning this week after growing concerns about the coronavirus. But these social distancing precautions didn't stop Colbert from making a new edition of his show.

Colbert called his new show, which took place in his bathtub, "The Lather Show." It featured Colbert in his usual suit, only he was fully submerged in a bubblebath at home. Apart from the bathtub gag, Colbert continued with his usual jokes and commentary in the monologue.
