“Due to unforeseen circumstances, the show will air repeat episodes on Wednesday, February 15 and Thursday, February 16,” said a short statement from Comedy Central.

Hope you're enjoying your flowers, or chocolates, or smug self-satisfaction at not celebrating Valentine's Day,” the comedian wrote.
