The disgraced former TODAY host will do anything to salvage his career!
Disgraced former TODAY show host, Billy Bush, is “desperate” to salvage what is left of his career, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned, by landing a spot on Dancing with the Stars!
According to a production insider, Bush, 45, is “begging to be cast on Season 24!”
“Billy said he would be willing to take a pay cut, and take a sum much lower than the other contestants,” the insider claimed.
However, the source said that Bush – who left the TODAY Show late last year over his part in Donald Trump’s Nancy O’Dell audio scandal – is facing strong opposition from the executives at ABC.
“The higher-ups are tired of having celebs wanting to join DWTS as a way of doing damage control,” said the source.
Indeed, just last season Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte joined the cast after getting caught fudging the truth about being robbed during the 2016 Summer Olympic games in Rio de Janeiro.
“A lot of them are also sick of having contestants who want to be cast as a way of reviving their broken career, which is exactly what some believe Billy is trying to do!”
Although there seem to be behind-the-scenes shake-ups for the hit show, the insider revealed that, with Bush, “nothing has been set in stone yet.”
Dancing with the Stars Season 24 premieres Monday, March 20, on ABC
(Seriously, I'd never heard of him before.)
from hosting the Oscars pre show to this...
A Bush dancing on national tv?Good grief,he’d look like a duck on a hot plate.
Can I ask a stupid question?
Billy Bush was fired from the Today show because of that tape with Trump. Yet the media including the Today show people are liberal; they wanted Trump brought down. That tape was leaked in order to bring Trump down. Why wouldn’t the liberals be eager to give him a job or keep him at Today as a reward for trying to bring Trump down???
Today’s highway of life is strewn with the human wreckage of the idiots and mediots who tried to $crew over Trump
What are Jebbie, Beck, Billy Kristol, and ??? doing to make money this year?
What’s with all the exclamation points in that article?
Jeb’s cousin.
He’s a Bush who failed miserably at his initiation into the world of the Hollywood elite.
They probably barely tolerated him before he leaked the tape.
I felt sorry for him before it became apparent that he is the one who leaked the tape.
I thought they paid him off generously when they released him from his contract. That would have been enough for a normal person to retire from his day job comfortably.
Good grief. He’s just hoping he can hook up with one of the hot female dancers.
The !#^&Y_@# who had the video of Trump that started all the pink pussy hats. He was the one making the remarks. One of the Bush clan.
No. No. No.
He’ll be grabbing women.
Maybe one of your stand up uncles can get you a job Billy Boy. How about Uncle Jeb! or Stand up guy Uncle W? Or criminal Uncle Marvin? You would fit right in with Uncle Marvin, do you have an Uncle Benedict?
Maybe he should go and make his own ‘Billy Beer’ like Jimmah’s brother did.
Is Billy Bush the guy who named the wrong girl Miss Universe? That was some real professionalism there, let me tell ya.
He got 20 million exit money. How on Earth can he be desperate for 250,000 to be on Dancing with the Stars (and he will agree with less then that). Something is strange going on here.
lol. That was Steve Harvey.
After switching sides and fighting for the British, Benedict Arnold moved to England where he anticipated being lauded as a hero. When he arrived, he was marginally tolerated and generally avoided; the British people knew him for what he was.
