Pete Buttigieg to guest host 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' for reasons we can't possibly discern

Former Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg is going to guest host Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show because... well... because he is? The former mayor of South Bend, Indiana dropped the details on The Today Show on Monday morning.  "Yeah, on Thursday, I'm going to be guest-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live," Buttigieg said. "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."  Later, when asked if he would be doing a monologue, the former 2020 Democrat admitted he might need a hand.  "Hopefully some funnier minds than mine will be doing some writing for that. But I think it's going to be fun," Buttigieg said. "The thing about coming off a presidential campaign is you have been focused on one thing, and one thing only. It's nice to be able to zoom out and just come back at life." Read more...More about Late Night, Jimmy Kimmel, Pete Buttigieg, Buttigieg, and Culture
