Kimmel Guest Calls Out Mentalist for Canceling Appearance

Podcaster Jon Lovett used his last-minute appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to roast mentalist Oz Pearlman for withdrawing from the show.

Lovett, host ofPod Save America, stepped in to replace Pearlman after the magician canceled his appearance in the wake of Donald and Melania Trump calling for Kimmel to be fired over a “hateful monologue” about the first lady looking like “an expectant widow,” which was broadcast before the White House Correspondents’ Dinner (WHCD) shooting.

Pearlman, 43, was hand-picked by the president to perform the WHCD, which was mired in chaos after a gunman stormed the event in an alleged attempt to assassinate President Trump.
