Trump’s Lewd Comments on Audio Could be Even More Problematic For NBC’s Billy Bush
There is NBC’s Katy Tur calling the person Trump was talking to, Billy Bush, “Access Hollywood‘s Billy Bush.” She isn’t wrong, of course: Bush worked for AH in 2005 when the recorded conversation took place.
Where does he work now, though?
NBC’s Today Show, that’s where. He’s been a co-host of the 9 am hour on the popular early-morning show since May of this year.
While NBC and MSNBC are being careful not to link Bush’s former comments to their company too often during this coverage, executives are going to have big decisions to make in the coming days. Sure, this may have an effect on Trump and his campaign, but his disparaging comments about women are nothing new. Bush, on the other hand, is on an early-morning show –theoretically a news show — with a massive female audience. That he backed up Trump’s assertion that famous men “can do anything” to women — with “phony tits” and without — including “[grabbing] them by the pussy,” will matter to those viewers and so, it matters to executives.
