"Full House" icon John Stamos is to replace Josh Gad, who has COVID, in this weekend's production of the musical "Jesus Christ Superstar" at the Hollywood Bowl.

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

Josh Gad will no longer be appearing in Jesus Christ Superstar alongside Cynthia Erivo in Los Angeles this weekend after contracting COVID. On Wednesday, July 30, the Tony-nominated actor, 44, confirmed through an Instagram statement that he will miss the musical’s opening weekend at the Hollywood Bowl, which is slated for Friday, Aug. 1.
