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.

What's the buzz? John Stamos joined the cast of "Jesus Christ Superstar" last minute, stepping in for Josh Gad.

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.
