In another demonstration of how well she's coping without the services of her striking writers—and one that was far more effective than Monday's bongo-enhanced effort—Ellen DeGeneres welcomed First Daughter Jenna Bush onto the show, whom she quickly challenged to try and reach her parents live via telephone, a stunt sure to send her ratings skyrocketing and make everyone forget about the show-offy on-air call Oprah Winfrey recently placed to God to get his opinion on her Favorite Things Special.

(Incidentally, He is really excited to pick up his panini press at the big O's holiday party.) In the segment's most touching moment, the President assures the puckish Jenna he's not angry about her springing a "surprise" call on him in the middle of nationally televised TV program, a cute father-daughter routine the pair will again reenact with Regis & Kelly early next week.
