Jenna Bush Hager recently revisited a moment from the early 2000s that had been a source of much public attention — but with a twist that no one expected. 

The moment in question occurred during the Bush administration when Amy Poehler, 

who was a cast member on *Saturday Night Live* (SNL), famously impersonated Jenna on the show. 

This iconic sketch, which aired in 2005, featured Poehler portraying Jenna and Tina Fey playing her sister, Barbara Bush. 

The sketch poked fun at the Bush daughters while their father, George W. Bush, was President of the United States. 

Fast-forward to 2025, and Jenna, now a beloved TV host on *Today with Jenna and Friends*, 

has the chance to confront the comedian who once impersonated her — Amy Poehler. When Amy guest-hosted the February 10 episode of the show, Jenna took the opportunity to bring up the famous impersonation, which set the stage for a humorous and heartfelt moment between the two.

“One thing that I remembered about your lustrous career is that you actually played me once,” Jenna began, referencing the iconic sketch from years ago. Amy, visibly surprised and a bit nervous, responded with a playful reaction: “Oh my god — I’m totally sweating.”

As the two hosts sat down together, they watched the *SNL* sketch in real time. The sketch, which had long been part of Jenna’s public life, featured Poehler’s comedic take on her mannerisms and speech. Rather than feeling uncomfortable or defensive, Jenna took the moment in stride, laughing along with the sketch.

After the clip ended, Amy, clearly relieved and appreciative, expressed her gratitude for Jenna’s good-natured response to the impersonation. “It’s not always easy to sit next to the person that you impersonated,” Amy admitted, thanking Jenna for being so gracious about the moment.

What happened next, however, was the real surprise. Jenna revealed that despite the comedic exaggeration, Amy’s impersonation actually wasn’t too far from the real Jenna. “I will say, by that point in my life, I was a teacher in Washington, D.C.,” Jenna shared. “Y’all may be thinking, ‘Oh, she’s making fun of college Jenna,’ but by then, I actually graduated, I walked across the stage, and I was a teacher of third graders. But you still got a lot right!”

Jenna’s response, lighthearted and filled with humor, turned what could have been an awkward encounter into a moment of mutual respect and laughter. The exchange between the two women showed just how easy-going and self-aware Jenna is, handling a situation that could have been perceived as uncomfortable with grace and humor.

The public’s response to this candid moment between Jenna and Amy was overwhelmingly positive. Fans quickly took to social media to comment on how refreshing it was to see such a genuine and relaxed interaction. One fan wrote, “This is fantastic. This is the way it should be! Love the camaraderie and laughs!” Another shared, “I’m laughing so hard! Jenna is always so easy going about these things. ❤️👏👏,” while a third commented, “The fact that she said ‘you got a lot right’ 😂😂😂😂.”

The episode not only provided fans with a moment of entertainment but also showed the power of humor and camaraderie in turning a potentially awkward situation into something memorable and fun. With Jenna’s easy-going nature and Amy’s comedic charm, the pair created a television moment that left audiences laughing and appreciating their relationship.

Now, with the tables turned and Jenna showing how comfortable she is with the impersonation, some fans are even speculating about the possibility of Jenna making a surprise appearance on *SNL* herself. Given her playful attitude toward the whole experience, who knows? Maybe it’s time for Jenna to step into the world of comedy herself and become the subject of an *SNL* sketch.

In the end, this interaction between Jenna and Amy served as a reminder of how humor can bridge the gap between public figures and their fans. Whether it’s poking fun at someone or celebrating their achievements, the ability to laugh at oneself is a rare and beautiful thing, and both Jenna and Amy demonstrated just how powerful and relatable that can be.
