Three years ago, our next guest walked out
onto the stage for the first time.
It may have been one of the cutest moments ever.
At the age of only five years old,
our next guess is a presidential expert.
Please welcome Macey Hensley.
What made you get interested in presidents?
Well I started telling everybody the presidents on money
and I was asking for everybody's Jackson.
Very smart.
Who's this?
John Quincy Adams.
He swam naked in the Potomac.
From Council Grove, Kansas please welcome
8-year-old Macey Hensley.
When you look at that and you see yourself for the first time
here, do you remember that day?
Yes.
You do.
And you're never nervous.
You're just happy all the time but you're not nervous.
Yeah.
Do you ever get nervous?
Not very often.
Yeah, I mean because you've met so many people now.
Yes.
You've met a lot of the presidents.
Yes.
OK so now how do you feel?
You were five then, you're eight now.
What's the difference in maturity probably?
Not much.
I just feel older
In what way?
Like you grunt when you sit down and to get up like that?
Kind of.
No.
But I don't have to ride in a car seat now.
Because I'm over 60 pounds.
And I'm over four feet tall.
And I'm eight.
[CHEERING]
That last day you were in the car seat
you were probably thinking, oh I can't wait
to get out of this car seat.
Yeah.
And did you get anything cool for your birthday?
Well so my birthday was Hamilton themed
so I got Hamilton shirt and a game called Deal or Duel
and I got Hamilton bookmarks and a bunch of different stuff.
All Hamilton stuff.
Yes.
Well because we sent you to Hamilton.
Yes.
And then you fell asleep.
Yes.
So we sent you back.
You saw the second half now.
How'd do you like it?
It was amazing.
But the thing is now when I think of George Washington,
I think of a 30-year-old bald man
walking around singing jazz.
That's kind of cool though.
Yeah.
So today is President's Day.
Yes.
Tell me what you know about President's Day.
Well so Andrew Jackson served this humongous block of cheese.
And so he opened up the doors to the White House
so people could come in.
But the cheese was over two years old.
So they said it smelled terrible but it tasted really good.
[LAUGHTER]
What do mattresses have to do with President's Day
when it should just be about cheese, right?
Yeah.
I mean now that I think about that,
it should all be about cheese.
Yes.
And sometimes old cheese does smell but it tastes good.
Do you like old cheese?
No I don't like old cheese.
OK all right.
But that's an interesting fact and I
think we'll all remember that.
You know any jokes about presidents?
So what do you call George Washington's false teeth?
I do not know.
Presidentures.
[CHEERING]
What else?
What is Michelle Obama's favorite vegetable?
I don't know.
Barack-oli.
[APPLAUSE]
Those are good ones.
Yes.
So I hear you have a new favorite TV show?
Yes, This Is Us.
You like This Is Us?
Yes.
A lot of people like This Is Us.
It's a good show, huh?
Yes.
And it was sad recently.
Yes, Jack died.
Yeah, yeah.
So I heard you liked it so watch this.
I want you to see something.
Hey Macey, Milo Ventimiglia here.
You may know me by playing Jack on NBC'S This Is Us.
You may be a fan of mine, but I'm a friend of yours.
I've seen and heard about your presidential expertise.
So I would love to be able to talk about that with you
at some point.
Whether on the set of This Is Us or elsewhere.
And I very much look forward to you
becoming president and using that expertise one day.
Very excited.
[CHEERING]
Isn't that sweet?
Yes.
That's very sweet.
So the next time Milo is here, we're going to invite you out
so you can meet him and you can be on the show and meet him.
All right.
Thank you so much.
That would be fun All right, we'll be right back.
