Jenna Bush Hager is opening up about how her dad, former President George W. Bush, went viral yet again, this time at President Donald Trump’s inauguration.
“He goes viral for basically anything,” Jenna told guest co-host Scarlett Johansson on TODAY with Jenna & Friends on Jan. 21. “He didn’t do anything, that’s what his face looks like. That’s his face.”
During the inauguration on Jan. 20, the former president was caught on camera raising his eyebrows while trying to stifle a smile, and the moment went viral.
“I mean, he raised his eyebrows and went viral. It shows, like, he actually was very well-behaved,” Jenna said of her dad’s behavior on Inauguration Day.
Johansson expressed that whenever she watches husband Colin Jost on “Saturday Night Live,” she gets a little nervous because she knows all the hard work that went into the jokes.
“Every time there’s like, even before the update, I’m sort of holding my breath like, ‘Oh, I know everything that went into it’ and everyone else is enjoying it,” she said.
“Like a stage mom,” Jenna added, to which Johansson agreed.
Bush’s eyebrow raise isn’t the only viral moment from him that Jenna has recently discussed.
During the Jan. 17 episode of TODAY with Jenna & Friends, Jenna recalled the “man tap” her dad did to former President Barack Obama while they attended former President Jimmy Carter’s state funeral service on Jan. 9.
โMy dad embarrasses me. I have to be honest,โ Jenna told Taraji P. Henson, who was guestย co-hosting the fourth hourย with her at the time. โAnd sometimes Iโll say to him, โDad, the attention is going to be on you so just try to keep it cool.โ
Jenna said that she hoped her dad would show affection in another form.
โIโm like, โDad, something like that … just put out your hand,โ she said.
