Mentalist Oz Pearlman Backs Out Of ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ Following WHCD Shooting, Podcaster Jon Lovett Joins Show

Mentalist Oz Pearlman will not appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live! tonight and has been replaced by Pod Save America’s Jon Lovett.

Deadline understands that Pearlman backed out of the appearance.

The move comes two days after Pearlman was set as the headliner for the White House Correspondents Dinner, which was canceled after a shooting at the Washington, DC event.

It also comes hours after President Donald Trump once again took umbrage at the late-night host, calling for ABC to “immediately fire” Kimmel.
