Jenna on her dad going viral at inauguration: ‘He actually was very well-behaved’

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.
“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. Johansson agreed, then asked Jenna if she felt that same way toward her parents.
“A little,” Jenna said, mentioning that it was more because of her dad than her mom.
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 shared that her dad “embarrasses” her at times while recalling the “man tap” he recently did on former President Barack Obama at former President Jimmy Carter’s state funeral service on Jan. 9.
Jenna told Taraji P. Henson, who was guest co-hosting the fourth hour with her at the time, that she wished her dad showed affection toward Obama in another form.
“I’m like, ‘Dad, something like that … just put out your hand,” she said.
