Former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg has no problem joking around about his previous 2020 presidential bid on late-night television.
Buttigieg appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” late Thursday to guest host where he covered a wide variety of topics including the coronavirus, his bid for the presidency, and being “unemployed.”
The former presidential hopeful opened his monologue by acknowledging the lack of a live studio audience due to concerns over the coronavirus.
He joked, “When you don’t have a real audience, you have to fake one, just like Trump’s inauguration.”
Watch his monologue below:
Buttigieg proceeded to call on Congress to pass the bill introduced by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to combat the coronavirus.
The monologue soon pivoted to the presidential race.
“I really thought we had a shot but turns out I was about 40 years too young and 38 years too gay,” he commented.
