  • Pearlman was scheduled to appear Monday but was replaced following the White House Correspondents’ Dinner incident involving an attempted attack on President Trump.
  • During the dinner, Pearlman was performing for President Trump and First Lady Melania when shots were fired and the president was rushed out; suspect Cole Tomas Allen was charged with attempted assassination.
  • Pearlman later confirmed he was unharmed and praised the Secret Service’s response. The lineup change comes as Trump and Melania call for Jimmy Kimmel’s show to be canceled after a controversial joke.
