Steve Albani, a spokesman for the cable network, told Fox News, "Unfortunately, we're not providing any details beyond the only official statement."

The Wall Street Journal said production has been suspended because of an unspecified emergency in Colbert's family.

Fox News quoted an unnamed show source as saying "The Colbert Report," now in its seventh season, is expected to resume tapings soon.

Colbert has not posted a message to his Twitter account since Tuesday.
