Due to Hurricane Sandy, Comedy Central's late night lineup of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and "Colbert Report" have canceled Monday tapings.

The cancelation comes as Jimmy Kimmel, who traveled to Brooklyn for a week of shows, was forced to cancel Monday's episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" after previously planning to march ahead with the taping.

Currently, the only late night shows planning to go ahead with taping are "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" and "Late Show with David Letterman." Both of those shows tape in midtown Manhattan, a heavy pedestrian area that is easily accessible to audience members. "Daily Show," "Colbert" and "Kimmel" are all taped in more remote areas that would be difficult to reach as public transportation is currently shut down in New York City.

In particular, Jimmy Fallon seems intent on ensuring he has an audience for tonight's show: He's offering every studio audience member a free pint of Ben & Jerry's.

We will provide further updates as they become available.
