Do presidents watch crimes with the White House as the setting?
In a shocking reveal on Today, Jenna Bush Hager said that former President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush are hooked on Netflix’s drama The Residence, which is produced by Shonda Rhimes.
Jenna revealed that her family has given their approval to the White House set design for the show, which they believed to be authentic.
What is so great about this political mystery?
Uzo Aduba plays the smart detective Cordelia Cupp, and the show starts with a shocking murder at a state dinner that turns into a high-stakes investigation.
With Giancarlo Esposito and Randall Park, the show has a cast that mixes thrillers from The West Wing with classic mystery tropes.
While guest-hosting alongside Jenna, Andrew Rannells couldn’t resist teasing her by posing the question, “Should we text Shonda your parents’ notes?”
Please clarify the extent of Henry Hager’s error with the Secret Service.
When Jenna talked about her husband Henry’s embarrassing mistake on their second date—crashing into a Secret Service car—the chat turned funny.
“He was mortified,” she said, “but I knew then he could handle the chaos of our family.”
The story’s length was perfect for showing that even controlled settings can hide drama.
