\tOz Pearlman won\u2019t be a guest on Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> Live! <\/em>Monday night anymore.<\/p>\n

\tDespite being previously scheduled to appear on the ABC late night talk show on Monday, updated listings <\/a>show the mentalist was swapped with\u00a0Pod Save America<\/em>\u00a0co-host Jon Lovett. <\/p>\n

\t\u30cf\u30ea\u30a6\u30c3\u30c9\u30fb\u30ea\u30dd\u30fc\u30bf\u30fc<\/em> has reached out to ABC for comment. Monday\u2019s episode will also feature guest Anthony Anderson.<\/p>\n

\tThe move comes days after shots were fired<\/a> at the 2026 White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner Saturday night, where Pearlman was serving as the host. Moments before the incident unfolded \u2014 which saw \u00a031-year-old Cole Tomas Allen<\/a>, armed with multiple weapons, reportedly charged through a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton \u2014 Pearlman was performing a magic trick on Karoline Leavitt<\/a>, who was sitting next to President \u30c9\u30ca\u30eb\u30c9\u30fb\u30c8\u30e9\u30f3\u30d7<\/a> and First Lady Melania Trump in the ballroom. \t<\/p>\n

\tThey were then all seen ducking to the ground behind the table on stage, before Trump and Melania were rushed out of the room. Allen, who was subdued by authorities, has since been charged with attempting to assassinate\u00a0Trump.<\/p>\n

\tPearlman later released a statement on the incident. \u201cThank you all for checking on me,\u201d he wrote on Instagram<\/a>. \u201cI am ok and thank God everyone is alright! Was in the middle of performing for the President and First Lady when I looked up to see a commotion, thought it was a bomb about to go off or shots fired. We hit the deck fast and Secret Service acted decisively and professionally to protect us all. We laid on the ground, I was a couple feet away from President Trump, eyes locked with one another. It was likely the scariest moment of my life and will never forget it. So happy everyone is ok.\u201d \t<\/p>\n

\tThe Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/a> <\/em>lineup change also came as host Jimmy Kimmel drew heat from Trump <\/a>once again. The president and Melania both called for his show to be canceled<\/a> in the wake of the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner shooting and condemned the comedian\u2019s ill-timed joke last week, which called Melania an \u201cexpectant widow.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tJimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em>\u00a0airs weeknights on ABC at\u00a011:35 p.m. ET\/PT.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
