NextImg:Jenna Bush Hager makes jaw-dropping realization on 'Today': George W. Bush and Michelle Obama “have the same love language”

Today With Jenna & Friends

It looks like the Obamas and the Bush family have a lot more in common than just spending time in the White House.

Jenna Bush Hager shared a clip on Today With Jenna & Friends from Michelle Obama‘s recent appearance on Amy Poehler‘s Good Hang podcast where the former first lady revealed that she and Barack Obama enjoy teasing each other.

“We have a deal, Barack and I, in our marriage and it started very early. It’s like, I can tease you but you cannot tease me,” Michelle told Poehler. “When me, Malia, and Sasha are all together, he doesn’t stand a chance. We mercilessly go after him. So yes, teasing is our love language.”

Bush Hager noted that her father, former U.S. President George W. Bush, has a similar sense of humor.

“I understand that,” she told Erin Andrews, her guest host for the week. “As I grew up, we loved to tease my dad and he likes it usually, if he’s in a good mood.”

But the Today host also had a major realization: “I just realized why my dad and Mrs. Obama are friends, they have the same love language!”

This comes as no surprise, considering Bush Hager once revealed that her father turned a public appearance they made together into a “one hour roast.”

Bush Hager was moderating a conversation with her parents, but her father reportedly kept derailing the discussion.

“I would give some insight here or there when I felt like I could, but other than that, he’d be like, ‘Yeah, OK Jenna, why don’t you tell everybody about the time you were arrested?’” she said on Today.

She continued, “I would ask questions he would roast me a little, I would ask a question, slight roast. But it was fun and funny.”

Bush Hager also mentioned that former President Obama was in attendance at the event and had been watching the panel.

“He was like, ‘How do you do that? Why do you come to do this?’ Because he must have seen some of the roasting. And he said, ‘This must be hard for you,’ and I said, ‘Yes it is,'” Bush Hager recounted.

Today with Jenna & Friends airs on weekdays at 10/9c on NBC.
