Stephen Colbert Walks Back Kate Middleton Jokes After Cancer Diagnosis

The late-night host addressed his comments about the Princess of Wales but didn’t apologize.
Stephen Colbert has addressed his comments making fun of Kate Middleton’s “disappearance from public life,” but stopped short of an apology.
“I don’t know if you have noticed, but we do a lot of shows, and I tell a lot of jokes. And I tell jokes about a lot of different things, mostly what everybody’s talking about,” Colbert said during his show on Monday night.
“And for the last six weeks to two months, everybody has been talking about the mystery of Kate Middleton’s disappearance from public life, and two weeks ago, we did some jokes about that mystery.”
“When I made those jokes, that upset some people — even before her diagnosis was revealed — and I can understand that,” he continued. “I mean, a lot of my jokes have upset people in the past. And I’m sure some of my jokes will upset people in the future. But there’s a standard that I try to hold myself to, and that is I do not make light of somebody else’s tragedy.”
“Now, I don’t know whether her prognosis is a tragic one … but regardless of what it is, I know — and I’m sure many of you, far too many of us know — that any cancer diagnosis of any kind is harrowing for the patient and for their family,” Colbert said. “And, though I’m sure they don’t need it from me, I and everyone here at ‘The Late Show’ would like to extend our well-wishes and heartfelt hope that her recovery is swift and thorough.”
On the March 13 episode of “The Late Show,” Colbert referenced conspiracies from “internet sleuths” that were “guessing that Kate’s absence may be related to her husband and the future king of England, William, having an affair.”
While much was falsely speculated about the Princess of Wales’ supposed disappearance, Kensington Palace made it clear in January (and again in February) that the royal would be away from public duties until after Easter, as she recovered from abdominal surgery.
Kate revealed her cancer diagnosis in a video last week. She said the news of her condition, which was initially thought to be noncancerous, was a “shock” to William and their three children.
“My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment,” she said in the video.
“It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment,” she continued. “But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them and to reassure them that I am going to be OK.”

On Friday, a Kensington Palace spokesperson shared that Kate began preventative chemo in late February but did not reveal the type of cancer she has or its severity.
“We will not be sharing any further private medical information,” the spokesperson said. “The Princess has a right to medical privacy, as we all do.”

Michael Keaton Totally Forgot He Was in a Marvel Movie

Michael Keaton has portrayed some of cinema’s most iconic characters, including Beetlejuice and Batman, so the actor should be forgiven for forgetting he played one of the best villains in a Marvel movie. Keaton made his MCU debut in Spider-Man: Homecoming as an updated version of the popular comic-book villain, the Vulture. The MCU’s Vulture harnessed alien technology from the Battle of New York (shown in The Avengers) to develop dangerous technology, as opposed to wearing a skin-tight bird suit.
While participating in the WIRED Autocomplete Interview, Michael Keaton reflected on his time in the MCU. At least, he tried to. The actor completely forgot he appeared in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Keaton said he was asked about the movie a few days prior, and had to look it up on Google to remember who he actually played. Keaton said:
“I just saw this shot the other day. That great shot in the car, where I’m looking in the mirror. Somebody was asking me a question about this and I actually couldn’t remember. I had to Google myself to figure out what the hell, what I was doing in that shot. And I’m Vulture, of course.”
Michael Keaton reprised the role during a brief cameo in the internet’s favorite movie, Morbius (sadly, he didn’t utter the iconic line “it’s Morbin’ time”). Keaton never showed his face in the scene, as Vulture wore his militaristic helmet when meeting Jared Leto’s vampiric character. The scene was intended to set up the Sinister Six in a future Sony/Marvel movie. However, this cameo has yet to be paid off as the Sony Spider-Verse is still in shambles following the release of Madame Web.
Michael Keaton Coolly Explains Why He’s the Best Batman
While Michael Keaton had a hard time remembering his villainous character from Spider-Man: Homecoming, there’s one superhero he’ll never forget playing. Keaton played Bruce Wayne in Tim Burton’s Batman, the movie that re-defined the character on the big screen, following Adam West’s lighthearted tenure. Keaton loves looking back on his time as The Dark Knight. He even quoted the famous line, “I’m Batman,” during a commencement speech at Kent State University in 2018. During the interview, Keaton was asked why his version of Batman is the best. Not mincing words, Keaton simply said:
During his time as Batman, Michael Keaton said he learned a valuable career lesson from his co-star, Michael Gough, who played Alfred. During production, Keaton was still in the early days of his career. He remembered asking Gough “Do you think actors get better as they get older?” Keaton never forgot his response:
“I’ll never forget, he said, ‘I think they just get more.’ I said, ‘What do you mean?’ He said, ‘You just get more of what you are, you know?’ Always stuck with me.”
Let’s see if Michael Gough’s theory is true as Michael Keaton returns to the screen this spooky season as Beetlejuice in Tim Burton’s long-awaited sequel. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice sees Keaton return as, once again, the juice gets loose. The movie also stars Winona Ryder and Catherine O’Hara, both reprising their roles from the original film, alongside newcomer Jenna Ortega.
