Jimmy Fallon Predicts Pete Hegseth’s Post-Pentagon Job, Complete With a Commercial

Pete Hegseth narrowly escaped impeachment this week, as 11 Democrats were absent during a crucial procedural vote that would have moved the process forward. However, he might still face impeachment in the upcoming new Congress. In response to this possibility, "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon took a humorous approach to discuss Hegseth's potential future career.

Laughter erupted when Fallon jokingly mentioned Hegseth's sigh of relief after avoiding impeachment, which reportedly triggered breathalyzers within a 5-block radius of his location. The host also shared that Hegseth texted his spouse, children, and allegedly 20 reporters about the vote, although mistakenly. Falling back to Hegseth's prospective post-Pentagon career, Fallon declared that "he's already got his next gig lined up."

A commercial then commenced, promoting a fitness program called "Pete90x," endorsed by none other than Pete Hegseth. The advertisement showcased Hegseth training alongside military personnel, despite struggling to keep up. An exaggerated clip of President Biden attempting to lift something also served as a "satisfied customer" example. The commercial emphasized the importance of staying hydrated during workouts.
