President Joe Biden’s and First Lady Jill Biden’s call into NBC during the network’s coverage of Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade got off to a bit of an awkward start.
NBC’s Dylan Dreyer said during the parade, “Guys, I think I’m getting a phone call. You know, I’m not one to take a phone call during TV. Oh, but I think — I think I should answer this one.”
A photo of Joe Biden and Jill Biden appeared showing it was them calling into the show.
Dreyer added, “Hello, Mr. President? I don’t think I can hear you. Can you hear me, Mr. President?”
After more silence, she continued, “Hello? Happy Thanksgiving. Mr. President, are you there?”
Finally, the couple chimed in, “We’re here!”
The first lady said, “Hi! Happy Thanksgiving.”
