For the first time in over 24 years, Julie Chen Moonves will miss the live eviction episode of Big Brother due to testing positive for COVID. Jerry O'Connell, co-host of The Talk, will be filling in for her tonight.
She posted on her Instagram: "Friday morning I woke up with a sore throat and went to see my good friend who is an ENT. That night he called to say I have Covid. Thankfully this is only the second time for me and it's been very mild! No fever and just a sore throat.
Unfortunately I am still testing positive as of this morning... despite feeling good, strong and my cough being gone, I must sit tonight's Big Brother eviction show out.
Thank you to Jerry O'Connell for filling in for me I hope Jerry fits in to my dress, has a ball and tells the houseguests I miss them but will be watching from home."
The closest she's ever come to missing a show in the past was during Big Brother 11 when she was pregnant (and she gave birth two weeks after the finale), and Surivivor host Jeff Probst would've allegedly filled in for her.
O'Connoll posted a behind the scenes clip talking about his excitement as well as revealing that Julie would be "returning" to The Talk today.
Turns out she just called in, and the announcement was made during this segment.
