NBC’s “Today” show parted ways with Billy Bush on Monday following the host’s suspension over a 2005 tape in which he and Donald Trump can be heard making lewd comments about women.
“While he was a new member of the TODAY team, he was a valued colleague and longtime member of the broader NBC family. We wish him success as he goes forward,” Senior Vice President Noah Oppenheim said in an internal memo to staff on Monday.
Bush also released a brief statement following the news of his departure.
“I am deeply grateful for the conversations I’ve had with my daughters, and for all of the support from family, friends and colleagues,” he said. “I look forward to what lies ahead.”
If the family name isn’t a career-killer?
The genetic lack of intellect will surely do the deed.

Billy Bush should get the Nobel Peace Prize! He saved the world from a Trump presidency! He did what 16 Republican candidates failed to do–bring down Donald Trump!
A) he had a job?
B) he just cleared the decks for his new position as head of women’s’ programming on Trump TV, coming soon to channel 30,893 on Pander TV, available wherever 8’ satellite dishes are sold.
You need to stop and consider for a moment that an ancillary participant in the sordid tape is fired from his job as would be anyone talking in such a manner in a work environment. If I said such a thing in my job I would be fired , yet here we are with Donald getting a virtual pass and a party that for the most part gives it a pass as they would a crazy uncle at Thanksgiving.
I think I’m losing my mind.
Billy Bush gets fired
Trump gets ratings
Melania being interviewed by Anderson Cooper, one she says they were just boys talking. Boys? Her husband was 59 years old, then she says Billy egged him on, I don’t think so, Trump was more then willing to go there; but the best part, she was saying Billy and the network knew about the tape, I’m sure if Billy knew about it he would have passed that tidbit to Jeb and his campaign, Melania seems to forget her Donald was running against a Bush in the primaries.
