rkolsen 1686 Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 Multiple news sources are saying that their sources are saying there's no discussion of punishment for such an old offense. That being said some articles say this has pissed off a lot of staffers who may not want to work with a misogynist in addition and that this could cause tensions between him and Tamron to rise.
Jase 1068 Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 Multiple news sources are saying that their sources are saying there's no discussion of punishment for such an old offense. That being said some articles say this has pissed off a lot of staffers who may not want to work with a misogynist in addition and that this could cause tensions between him and Tamron to rise. Tamron isn't one to hold back her distain for/of someone. When she worked in Chicago (WFLD) with Mike Barz (reportedly, a bit of a misogynist too), the tension between those two was very high. Like I said before, hopefully Billy offers up a sincere/genuine apology tomorrow otherwise, I can't imagine him lastly very long on Today.
24994J 5630 Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 I'm not defending Bush (there are definitely grounds for dismissal/suspension), but last time I checked, there's no rule saying you shouldn't/can't be hired or fired for being a douche. Lord knows many have made a lot of money being one.
Eat News 4745 Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 I'm sure none of the guys here have ever spoken "locker room " talk.... ever... never ever.....ever.....ever. not us guys. (excuse me while i go watch that scarlet video again shaky-shaky)
MorningNews 1500 Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 Have I engaged in locker room talk? Yes, we all have. I've never done it while on the job where it could come back and haunt me or my employer professionally. So while I acknowledge the efforts to deemphasize this situation by saying we've all done, it's just not the same thing.
newscopter7 233 Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 Over/under on Billy Bush on air tomorrow morning?
TVNewsJunkie15 66 Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 Over/under on Billy Bush on air tomorrow morning? Brian Stelter on twitter just said Billy will not be on The Today Show tomorrow 1
Daybreak 289 Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 They are also reporting he's suspended until further notice. http://money.cnn.com/2016/10/09/media/billy-bush-nbc-today-show-donald-trump/index.html 1
Daybreak 289 Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 Well now there's a report that Billy is leaving NBC Today altogether. http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/billy-bush-reportedly-out-at-today-and-negotiating-exit-from-show_us_57fd2fc4e4b07b9b8752c6d2?
brianpr3 178 Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 does that mean willie is coming back to that hour or is sunday his day 1
Eat News 4745 Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 NBC would be real smart to make sure Billy leaves real happy... Try explaining to a Judge or Jury why NBC sat on evidence of wrong doing for 11 years??? Worse is the FACT that NBC had the offending tape in their possession the entire time and never acted on it. A lawyers wet dream. It figures a lil' Bush would decide this election.

Eat News 4745 Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 No, no, no... I was referring to a nice freshly groomed Bush...the secret garden variety. Wait... Let me find a proper picture of a hot chick trimming her bush... For real???? You thought I was gonna "go there"?
sfomspphl 498 Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 does that mean willie is coming back to that hour or is sunday his day My money is on Carson Daly. He was awfully sheepish this morning. And plenty of TODAY legacy allies in that organization who didn't care much for Billy to begin with happy to leak once they caught wind of what Access had found. Wonder if Natalie brought a producer from TODAY with her.
justin2kx 240 Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 It figures a lil' Bush would decide this election. If it goes the way of sanity's sake that is, for that we thank him + simultaneously...F#(K OFF!

A3N 1002 Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 They should have the Kathy Lee and Hoda Wine Hour from 9-11am, and invite Regis to be a regular contributor to the program., They'd probably get more eyeballs to the program doing that, than what they're currently getting with Tamron, Billy and Al... 5
Jase 1068 Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 what are they going to do with carson's 2 other shows the voice and last call if they choose him? The Voice is like two days a week, so that shouldn't be much of an issue. I believe he just does voiceovers for Last Call ( I'm not sure if he even appears on screen anymore).
KevCor 344 Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 Who reported the fact of the tape first? Rachel Maddow made it sound like the Washington Post got it from a source but other NBC properties made it seem like they released it. I doubt NBC would be dumb enough to release the tape themselves (unless they only reported on clips and not the full conversation) given what Billy Bush said. Then again they could have leaked it as a way to get rid of Billy Bush on Today. For the record, allegedly Access Hollywood came across the video footage at some point in the recent past, and "planned" on reporting on it. It was also said that the News division (MSNBC IIRC) got prior knowledge of the tape from the Entertainment division, and that the reporting was supposed to be a one-two from Access Hollywood reporting first and then NBC News doing the followup on the story. However, as we all know, somewhere between that point of planning and Saturday last, it got leaked to WaPo. Once the Post got it, they reached out to NBCU for comment, who then had to ACTUALLY scramble to cobble together the report they were "planning" to do. Someone in the NBCU universe wanted Billy Bush gone. The question is, was it the Entertainment division or the News division... 1
Eat News 4745 Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 Someone in the NBCU universe wanted Billy Bush gone. The question is, was it the Entertainment division or the News division... I'm sure Billy and his agent don't care what division screwed him because Billy will walk with the full contract paid PLUS $$$$$$. Bush scored a much bigger paycheck then if they had just let him fail at the Today Show gig. Billy just needs to parlay the new and improved "bad boy rep" into a cable show ala "the Man Show"... Call me or tweet me Billy...we can get the Jiggly Girls out of retirement....I may be able to get Carolla on board. 3

Drew 152 Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Billy Bush is officially gone from NBC breaking now 1
BehindNYNews 147 Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 http://money.cnn.com/2016/10/17/media/billy-bush-leaves-nbc/index.html?sr=twCNN101716billy-bush-leaves-nbc1120PMVODtopLink&linkId=30048203 Well GMA gets the last laugh because while everyone was saying Michael would fail, Billy's the one without a job and the Today Show is the one missing a 3rd hour host now. I'm interested to see who, if anyone, replaces Billy. 5
MorningNews 1500 Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Lol I'm glad Billy Bush is without a job but him leaving does nothing to lessen the fact that GMA is awful. 5
wabceyewitness 827 Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Lol I'm glad Billy Bush is without a job but him leaving does nothing to lessen the fact that GMA is awful. Agreed. Billy Bush being released from NBC means nothing for Good Morning America and the fact that they're alienating viewers with the Strahan train wreck. Besides, Bush and Today's third hour competes with "Live" on most ABC stations, not Good Morning America. 2
