On Friday, the cast of “Jesus Christ Superstar” will take the stage of the Hollywood Bowl without Josh Gad. The actor announced on Thursday that he was diagnosed with COVID-19 and would not be performing as King Herod.

John Stamos is sliding into the golden slippers of King Herod just hours before the curtain comes up on Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl. Stamos’ last minute casting comes after Josh Gad announced yesterday that he would no longer occupy the throne on Friday night.

Josh Gad says he'll perform in "Jesus Christ Superstar" on Sunday at the Hollywood Bowl after a bout with COVID; John Stamos was scheduled to fill in Friday and Saturday.
