Fred Willard has already hit the mea culpa circuit, following his July 18 arrest in an adult movie theater.

But that didn't stop ABC from pulling the last two original episodes of Trust Us With Your Life. Reruns of ABC's Wipeout will replace the Tuesday show hosted by Willard, 72, reports AP.

PBS already nixed him as narrator of new series Market Warriors.

In an appearance last week on Jimmy Fallon's late-night show, Willard said he was embarrassed by the arrest, but said he did nothing wrong.

The Los Angeles City Attorney's office determined that Willard's case was eligible for a diversion program that will keep him from being formally charged with lewd conduct if he completes required courses.
