It isn’t every day that you can get the President of the United States on the line. But that’s just what Ellen did when she had Jenna Bush as a guest on her Wednesday show. The show was actually taped on Tuesday.Ellen prodded Jenna into calling her parents live from the show taping. She asked if Jenna could get her parents on the phone at any time. Jenna responded that she usually called in the morning or evening when she knew they would both be home.
Carefully covering the phone so no one can see the private number, Jenna finally agrees to call her parents. She jokingly says, “I’m not going to get anything I asked for for Christmas.”
Jenna finally gets through to First Lady Laura Bush. After talking to her for a moment, Jenna gets to talk to her father. The President comes to the phone, and his daughter says, “This is the Ellen Degeneres Show”.
Though surprised, he willingly talks to them both.
