Bush was on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" to promote his book of portraits he painted of veterans, and the host took the chance to ask him about ribbing of the president.

Bush told Kimmel of his interaction with "SNL" executive producer Lorne Michaels:

Bush seemed to get a kick out of the dispute and his own reputation for misusing words, laughing after he told the story.

The former president also told Kimmel, "I love humor, and the best humor is when you make fun of yourself."

"Well, tell that to the president," Kimmel joked of Trump, getting another laugh out of Bush.
