NEW YORK (AP) — NBC has suspended “Today” show personality Billy Bush indefinitely for his role in the recently surfaced videotape of Donald Trump’s crude conversation about women.

“Today” show Executive Producer Noah Oppenheim said in a memo that “there is simply no excuse for Billy’s language and behavior on that tape.”

NBC has suspended Bush from his job as host of the “Today” show’s third hour, “pending further review of the matter.”

  1. How about suspending him forever. He is a bottom feeder on the order of Geraldo Rivera!

  2. How many Bushes will the 2016 election cycle claim before it’s finished?

    Another one bites the dust.
    In a few more weeks, America will suspend Trump also.

  4. Fuck all the Bushes, beginning with little Billy.

  5. When you sleep with dogs, Billy, you usually wind up with fleas. Guess it’s not so funny now.
