Joe Biden's wife Jill was forced to help the 46th President during an interview as the 81-year-old struggled to remember what he had for dinner, agonising footage has shown.
Biden sat down with the First Lady ahead of ABC's New Year's Eve programme but all was not going too well when he was asked about what holiday foods he had been enjoying.
A rambling Biden said: "Well, I’ve been eating everything that’s put in front of me."
He added: "But I’ve eaten pasta, which I love. I’ve eaten a lot of chicken, chicken parmesan, I’ve been eating all Italian foods, basically."

Jill, 72, who was sat with her husband, interjected: "And ice cream."
The 46th President then stressed he had been enjoying "chocolate chip ice cream".
The latest blunder comes as Biden prepares to seek re-election to the White House in November.
A number of excruciating TV gaffes have heightened concerns about whether the Commander-in-Chief, who would turn 86 at the end of his stint in the Oval Office if he wins later this year, is fit to serve as President.

Biden could potentially face a familiar foe in November as Donald Trump leads a crowded pack of Republican rivals in the Grand Old Party's primary.
Despite losing to Biden by seven million ballots in 2020, Trump's average lead over his successor in the White House stands at 2.4 per cent.
Such a margin would likely help the 77-year-old, who is embroiled in a number of legal cases which could torpedo his campaign, to flip several key swing states.
The two men struck rather different notes in their New Year's messages to the American people.

Biden said: "[The American people] understand that we’re in a better position than any country in the world to lead the world."
He added: "We’re coming back, and it’s about time."
However, Trump looked to land a blow against his rival by peddling the unfounded claim the 2020 US Election was stolen.
He said: " I would like to wish an early New Year’s salutation to crooked Joe Biden and his group of radical left misfits and thugs on their never-ending attempt to destroy our nation through lawfare, invasion and rigging elections."
The 45th President added: "They are now scrambling to sign up as many of those millions of people they are illegally allowing into sour [sic] country, in order that they will be ready to vote in the presidential election of 2024."
