This morning, former Democratic presidential candidate announced the big news on the ‘Today’ show.

Buttigieg will be stepping in for Kimmel, who is busy with production for ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire’. After dropping out of the presidential race on March 1st, Buttigieg is ready to “have some fun” before looking for another job. “The thing about running a presidential campaign is you will have been focused on one thing and one thing only. It is nice to be able to zoom out and come back at life,” he stated.

Buttigieg will premiere as host of ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ this Thursday.
