Update: On Friday afternoon, NBC sent the following statement from Billy Bush to media outlets including Vanity Fair: “Obviously I’m embarrassed and ashamed. It’s no excuse, but this happened eleven years ago - I was younger, less mature, and acted foolishly in playing along. I’m very sorry.”

Both Donald Trump and Billy Bush are having a very bad Friday after an 11 years-old tape of a coarse discussion between the two men surfaced online.

On Friday, The Washington Post published damning audio tape of the presidential candidate and Access Hollywood host having a lewd conversation that is said to have taken place in 2005. A microphone apparently caught the conversation as they were arriving on the set of Days of Our Lives to tape an Access Hollywood segment about Trump’s cameo on the soap opera. Trump can be heard talking about kissing, groping, and making moves on women, while Bush laughs and at times offers his own commentary.

In an e-mail to Vanity Fair, a representative from Access Hollywood said that the program will address the tape on its show tonight.
