Billy Bush Reportedly Out At ‘Today’ And Negotiating Exit From Show

Billy Bush is reportedly set to exit the “Today Show,” sources told The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday. The outlet said Bush is currently negotiating his exit from the morning show after only three months there.

Sources told CNN that Bush’s exit is now a matter of “when,” not “if,” adding that his departure should be announced “in the coming days.”

Bush’s public apology was not enough for Noah Oppenheim, executive producer on “Today,” who suspended the host for his comments on Sunday.

“Let me be clear ― there is simply no excuse for Billy’s language and behavior on that tape,” read a memo from Oppenheim announcing the news. “NBC has decided to suspend Billy, pending further review of this matter.”

1. HES out because he sat on this big news

Even if he
Knew about it
If he presented excuses and told his nework about it first, he likely would still be there

Of his scuzzy behavior over the years

10. A source says that NBC sat on the video because they wanted to edit Bush out of it.

They were trying to save him until the tape leaked to the WaPo.

“They could have released the tape and edited him out,” the source says of the individual that leaked the footage. “That was the plan — they were trying to approve it and then someone leaked it. That’s what Access Hollywood eventually did and they played it … but it was already out,” the source says and adds, “If they wanted to protect him, they could have edited it out which they did on the final Access piece that aired on Friday, but they left it in when it was leaked.”

(According to an NBC spokesperson: “There absolutely was never a consideration by NBC News to edit the tape.”)
