During a live broadcast on the Today Show, Jenna Bush Hager made a surprise phone call to her father, former President George W. Bush. The call, which was broadcast live on air, saw Bush Hager's father readily answer his phone.
President Bush engaged in a humorous conversation, acknowledging he was on television and expressing surprise at the call. He also discussed meeting his daughter's cohost, Sheinelle Jones, noting a connection through Jones' father, whom he had appointed. This led to a lighthearted moment where he mistakenly referred to Jones as 'Michelle.'
He then seized the opportunity to promote his forthcoming book, titled 'The Call of Freedom,' due out next March. Bush Hager and Jones playfully reacted to the impromptu book promotion. The conversation concluded with mutual well wishes, with Bush Hager reflecting on the call's reminiscent nature of her childhood.
Ultimately, Bush Hager and Jones decided to visit Dallas to meet the former president. Jones also suggested that Bush Hager's book club might feature his new book, an idea Bush Hager playfully rejected, citing it as an art book.
