Stephen Colbert with Jacinda Ardern in Auckland.
The Late Show, which airs on CBS in the US, indicated to officials late last year that the host was interested in a repeat visit. But with the border closed, and managed isolation places tightly contested, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment – the umbrella agency for Immigration NZ and managed isolation facilities – judged the visit wouldn’t be possible. Colbert’s team didn’t get as far as applying for critical worker exemptions. But what happened next is unclear.
Stuff understands Colbert’s potential visit was discussed at a meeting of Covid ministers during the first week of December.
