NBC has announced Billy Bush has been suspended indefinitely from the Today show over his lewd comments with Donald Trump that were recorded on a hot mic.
Today executive Noah Oppenheim announced Bush's ban in an email to the show's team on Sunday night.
'Dear TODAY Family - I know we've all been deeply troubled by the revelations of the past 48 hours,' the statement read.
'Let me be clear - there is simply no excuse for Billy's language and behavior on that tape. NBC has decided to suspend Billy, pending further review of this matter.
'If any of you have any questions or concerns please reach out to me directly, anytime day or night.
'Best, Noah.'

Begging your pardon, but who is Billy Bush? I’m serious.
I’ve read that the release of the private conversation may have been illegal too - ironic that he does something that NBC wants and they throw him under the bus for it....
Arguing with her over whether he or Bill Clinton is a bigger chauvinist? He should win that (Clinton raped and harassed) but he takes mega damage himself because of that tape. He may do it but I want him to win and I think it's best if he can get past the issue of that tape. If that means taking Bill's horrid treatment of women off the table and focusing on Hillary's incompetence and illegalities, so be it. But he will do what he wants to, regardless of what any of us say. I was speculating that he might want to get past this issue and Hillary might want to get past the bill issue and so they might have an unpoken detente ON THAT ALONE. That's all.
It's not an argument about "who's a bigger chauvinist". It's an issue of hillary the enabler more offended by Trump's words in private vs her husband's actions. Why would anyone not pursue that issue? If properly pursued, it will bring a percentage of those suburban woman's voters over to sanity.
We’re all FRiends here, or we should be. The internecine hostility is off putting.
That said, GFY both of you!
Thank you for the civility. You are a force for good.
Hmmm !!! WHY was he then suspended ???
Suspended because publishing the decade+ old talks back fired and probably gave even more votes to DJT
In the mean time, thanks for your kind wishes, right back at ya.
I am a big fan of civility, so thank you for making the effort. A lot of other FReepers should make more effort in this area, IMO.
It’s just that when we lower the bar and call names it is very hard to later raise the bar, discourse-wise.
LEARN: Be nice to Hillary Clinton online — or risk a confrontation with her super PAC
CTR shills are crawling all over FR. This is not, as you put it, an "internecine" fight. A million dollars of Clinton money has gone to make it LOOK like an internecine fight. In typical rotten Clinton style, these people not only want to degrade support for Donald by casting doubt and misinformation and spin, they also want to rip FR apart from the inside while they do it.
Like I said, learn. We are infiltrated.
Billy took one for the team. I’m sure somebody is writing him a very nice check for his troubles.
They’ll reinstate him after election day
Interesting.
Thanks, I had no idea.
“Billy Bush”
That name reeks of redneck, which is OK unless your are a blue blood royalty as the Bushes think of themselves.
Billy Bush being associated with Trump is the perfect ending to the Bush Dynasty.
Agreed, civility is preferred. But, you can’t win and improve the nation by losing. Win, Win, Win! Go TRUMP!!!
LOL! OK Jesse! Hee hee!
“Trump has managed to make the KLINTOONS, the Press, and the GOP look like what they are; incompetent liars, fools and criminals.”
Yup, A one-man wrecking crew last night.
Needed to be done, needs to continue.
