Billy Bush has been suspended from the “Today” show, according to a memo from Noah Oppenheim, the show’s executive producer.
“Let me be clear ― there is simply no excuse for Billy’s language
and behavior on that tape,” the memo said. “NBC has decided to suspend
Billy, pending further review of this matter.”
Earlier, reports had circulated indicating that Bush would appear on
the show Monday to discuss his vulgar 2005 conversation with Donald
Trump. Then, an NBC News spokesperson said Bush would not appear on
Monday’s show.
Bush, a co-host of the “Today” show, was the host of “Access
Hollywood” in 2005 when the lewd and explicit conversation happened.
Trump joked that, as a star, he could “grab by the pussy” as he
pleased, while Bush laughed. The audio, recorded as Bush and Trump
exited a tour bus on the set of “Days of Our Lives,” was published on
Friday by The Washington Post.
Bush has already publicly apologized for his role in the discussion.
