He won't be the next president of the United States, but Jeb Bush and his exclamation point could have a future in Hollywood.
The former Republican presidential candidate made a cameo in the opening of Sunday night's Primetime Emmy Awards, offering to give host Jimmy Kimmel a ride to the show in the limo he was using for his new job as an Uber driver. Donning a chauffeur's cap, Bush asked him, "Are you nominated?" When Kimmel said yes, a wondrous Bush asked, "Wow, what's that like?" He went on to make a joke about the perils of running a "positive campaign" and then peaced out after calling Kimmel what serves as an insult in Jeb Bush parlance. Watch the video below, and then please clap. Catherine Garcia
