ICYMI Watch: Pete Buttigieg Guest Hosts 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!'
Former Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg guest-hosted "Jimmy Kimmel Live" Thursday night after making his announcement as fill-in host for comedian Jimmy Kimmel earlier this week.
On the show, the former South Bend, Ind. mayor gave a monologue and carried out interviews as well.
"My name is Pete Buttigieg and I'm running to be the next...host of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!," he said, adding that things are different as there's no studio audience due to the concerns over the new coronavirus.
Nevertheless, there were some staffers in the seats along with Buttigieg's husband, Chasten.
"This was not our plan," he added. "We just decided this a few hours ago and it's disappointing because I love to crowd surf. It's kind of my thing. But the experts have told us the best way to prevent the spread of the virus is to physically stay apart so that's what we're going to do.
"The only way we're going to get through this crisis is with unity, so let's do this together. Who's with me?" Buttigieg said, before adding a jab against President Donald Trump.
"Full disclosure, none of those people are here," he said. "But when you don't have a real audience you have to fake one just like Trump's inauguration."
Later on, he spoke with "Veep" and "Love, Simon" actor Tony Hale and "Star Trek" star Sir Patrick Stewart. Later on, Buttigieg faced off against Stewart in a trivia game called "Who's the Captain Now?"
