Mentalist Oz Pearlman will not appear on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Monday night, despite previously being scheduled as the embattled comedian’s guest.
Pearlman’s apparent decision to back out comes two days after the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting, where the entertainer was set to perform magic tricks for the commander-in-chief and attendees — and hours after President Trump and first lady Melania Trump both called for Kimmel’s firing over a “hateful” monologue.
Podcaster Jon Lovett is now listed as Kimmel’s replacement guest on ABC’s website.
