Stephen Colbert: I was uninvited from Barack Obama's 60th birthday party

Mediaite

The Late Show host cleared up rumors that he and wife Edie attended the former president's birthday bash over the weekend. “Here’s the thing — a hot ticket is what it was, but given the whole pandemic thing and the Delta variant, a celebrity mosh pit was maybe not the wisest choice, so Obama decided to scale back the guestlist for his party,” the host said on Monday’s show, adding: “In the massive scaling back, I got massively scaled.” Colbert, Conan O’Brien, Larry David and David Letterman were among the TV comedy stars whose invitations were revoked when Obama's part was downscaled due to the delta variant surge of COVID-19.
