From 1995 to 1997, the Presidents toured worldwide to support their first two albums. In 1996, MTV aired a previously recorded live concert from Mount Rushmore for Presidents Day . The band was introduced with: “Ladies and gentlemen, the Presidents of the United States”. In addition to relentless touring in the U.S. and Canada, the Presidents made multiple tours of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. They were featured in major print media and on radio and TV, including multiple appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and the Late Show with David Letterman . The Presidents turned down an offer to perform on Saturday Night Live in the fall of 1995, because the date conflicted with Ballew’s wedding, but later made an appearance on the eleventh episode of Mad TV in January 1996. They began the program with a skit called “Public Domain”, performed “Lump” later in the show, and ” When the Saints Go Marching In ” during the end credits.
