The Daily Caller is reporting that former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg will not just be appearing on but will co-host “Jimmy Kimmel Live” this coming Thursday, and will also be doing a monologue. We would have expected Buttigieg to already have a paying gig as a CNN or MSNBC contributor, but this is a start.
Pete Buttigieg Announces He’s Guest Hosting ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ https://t.co/XHjKzVtyXn

The announcement came during Monday’s episode of the “Today” show.
“On Thursday I’m gonna be guest hosting ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live,’” Buttigieg said. “So we’re really excited for that — lining up a great slate of guests. Sir Patrick Stewart’s coming on — we’re very excited about that.”
Buttigieg confirmed he would be doing a monologue for the show as well.
Will this be the woke Jimmy Kimmel who wears his child in a baby carrier while talking about universal health care, or will he and Buttigieg be reviving old bits from “The Man Show”?

Is there a precedent for this? Presidential candidates have been guesting on late-night talk shows ever since Bill played his sax on Arsenio, but have any of them ever hosted one?

There goes the show! ??????

We've gone from Sinatra filling in for Carson, to Buttigieg filling in for Kimmel.
My, how the times have changed for the worst.

Of course he is…it’s his audition for MSNBC and CNN.

I am sure he will be just as insufferable as he was on the campaign trail.

They all go Hollywood. Some on late night, some on MSM. All the same caliber.

I don't know who is less funny, Kimmel or Buttigieg. Tough call.

Only makes sense. Pete's candidacy was a complete joke.
