Jimmy Kimmel Trolls Pete Hegseth With Blunt Career Advice

In his Thursday night monologue, Jimmy Kimmel addressed the controversy surrounding Pete Hegseth’s makeup habits. Kimmel mentioned that Hegseth strongly denied the claims, calling it a fake story. A Defense Department official also defended Hegseth, stating that it made no sense because he does his own makeup. Kimmel jokingly added, “Which is more embarrassing.”

Kimmel went on to say that there is nothing to be ashamed of when it comes to wearing makeup, citing examples of warriors like Mel Gibson in ‘Braveheart.’ He humorously noted that a defense secretary who puts on foundation and pomade exudes the warrior ethos.

However, Kimmel suggested that Hegseth may be preparing for a different career path. “The good news is when he gets booted from the Pentagon, he’ll be able to get a job at Sephora,” Kimmel quipped.

Overall, Kimmel’s monologue provided a lighthearted take on the situation, showcasing his signature humor and wit.
