During the interview, co-host Sara Haines was presenting the governor with rapid-fire topics to get his response. One of them was, "My advice to J.D. Vance is?"

Walz responded, "Just go in and order the chocolate doughnut and don't add anything else."

The governor was referring to Sen. J.D. Vance's awkward encounter at a doughnut shop in Georgia recently. It was supposed to be a photo op, but it didn't seem to go as planned when he introduced himself to the woman working there as if she would excitedly recognize him, and her response was simply, "OK."

Then Haines went on to the next topic. "My first thought about Arnold Palmer is?"

Walz didn't take the joking route that time and said, "I'm passing on that one," as the other co-hosts and crowd laughed.

Haines's question is likely related to Donald Trump's mention of the late golfer at a rally in Pennsylvania recently when he started by telling a story about Palmer and the size of his genitalia.

Then, Haines said, "One nice thing about Donald Trump is?"

"He will not be president again," Walz said as the crowd cheered.

After a few more questions, the ladies gifted him a new flannel shirt, the midwestern man's signature clothing item, and sent him on his way.
