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.

"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.

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.
