While Julie is out sick, The Talk co-host Jerry O’Connell will step in her place to host this week’s live eviction.

“Friday morning I woke up with a sore throat and went to see my good friend who is an ENT,” she shared in a message posted to Instagram. “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 live eviction show out,” she continued. “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.”

“See? Chenbot is human after all! Love one another and enjoy tonight’s show,” she concluded.

Big Brother‘s live eviction show on Thursday (September 12) will see either Kimo or Quinn becoming the first juror of the season. Tune in live tonight on CBS!
