"He looks like a lot of people in my history book," Haines replies, before her realization that it's the second U.S. president. Gates Jr. told her, "He is your third cousin, nine times removed!"
She responded, "Oh my God. I'm related to a president! And he was a good one!"
Gates Jr. then told Haines, during his View appearance, that she was related to yet another president. Adams's son, John Quincy Adams, was the sixth president of the United States.
He explained that only one guest in the history of the series was related to a president, and that was filmmaker Michael Moore. Haines is the first celebrity guest related to two officehoders.
"We only had one other guest in the history of the series who was related to a president, unhappily so, and that was Michael Moore, who was related to Herbert Hoover. You are our first guest, happily related to two United States presidents!" Haines is related to both presidents via her maternal grandfather.
Sarah Haines's relation to two presidents of the United States is an ironic twist. It’s a surprising connection that adds a whole new layer to her public persona.
