Jenna Bush Hager Says Her Dad Roasted Her So Hard, Barack Obama Felt Bad For Her

Leave it to your family to knock you down a few pegs.

On Mondays episode of Today with Hoda & Jenna, Jenna Bush Hager gave her co-host, Hoda Kotb, a recap of her weekend and it involved eating a big ol slice of humble pie served up by her dad.

On Saturday, Bush Hager moderated a conversation between her parents, former first lady Laura Bush and former President George W. Bush , at an event in Los Angeles called History Talks, Variety reports. The half-day event was hosted by A&E and the History Channel, and featured guest speakers like Kevin Costner, Eva Longoria, Kerry Washington, Kate Winslet, John Legend and former President Barack Obama .

I was with my parents, which is always really hilarious because [of] the dynamic, Bush Hager told Kotb.

Although Bush Hager was the moderator of the discussion, it doesnt seem like her father took her role as the leader very seriously.

I would give some insight here or there, when I felt like I could, Bush Hager said of her moderating style. But other than that, [my father would] be like, Yeah, Jen, OK, why dont you tell everybody about the time you were arrested?
