Why Is Stephen Colbert Still Hosting His Show From His Home?......

All the other late night hosts - Fallon, Kimmel, Cordon & Meyer's - are back at their desks pre-pandemic. The only late night host that still is broadcasting from his home is Colbert. Why hasn't he returned to the Ed Sullivan Theater? Has their been any explanation on this?

He is broadcasting from a replica of his office on the second or third floor of the Ed Sullivan Theater and has been for a number of weeks.
