I'm not sure why Billy Bush is getting black listed by Hollywood for being present during the Trump tape. He remarks that a girl is hot, but I don't see where he said anything vulgar. We would all be jobless if remarking that someone is hot is a fire-able offense.

It's not like he had the foresight that Trump would be the Republican nominee someday.

Just being a friend of Trump who is laughing about what he's saying obviously damages his reputation, and especially what he said and did after they got off the bus and said hi to the woman and basically forces hugs out of her. It was really slimy and creepy on his part. I don't blame the Today Show for not wanting him on anymore. Those kinds of shows have a right to expect their hosts to basically be squeaky clean (relatively, anyway... cleaner than being involved in Donald Trump's biggest campaign scandal to date at least, lol).

this. after Trumps creepo remarks, he basically forces the unsuspecting woman waiting for them to hug Trump. it was cringe-inducing. then asking who she'd rather date, etc. in full context of both converstations, it took on a whole new meaning. it was like he was trying to be Trump's wingman.

All I know is that his female co-hosts are defending him. They have worked with him for years. We are passing judgement on a 5 minute recording.

doesn't matter. public perception is all that matters to the show's producers. they won't want to be associated in any way shape or form with this incident.

Didn't NBC release the tape? But they want no part of it? Why didn't they can him 11 years ago?

Why didn't they edit it and take Billy out. It's not like NBC has a policy of not editing tapes (See: Martin, Trayvon)

I don't know. did they? I was just wondering this not long ago, where the tape came from. maybe billy was collateral damage to them, wanting to hurt trump knowing they'd also hurt billy.

Yeah, I'm wondering if he didn't have enemies that were willing to throw him to the lions. I guess Al Roker threw a hissy-fit at him when he tried to downplay the whole Ryan Lochte robbery re-telling.

Wait. I'm starting to connect the dots. GET ME MY TINFOIL CAP!

NBC has rights to the Olympics. After swimming and gymnastics were over, the Lochte story over-shadows the Olympic games because after swimming and gymnastics are over, no one gives a shit about the other 170 events. Bush, new to the Today show, tries to cut Lochte some slack and Roker goes apeshit because Lochte has tarnished the games (even though we find out later the Brazilians were lying out of their asses too)

Best case scenario: Lochte and Bush open their own detective agency

But again...NBC had no problem hiring Howard Stern to be a judge on America's Got Talent. I love Stern and so does pretty much everyone and the double standard that is being applied to Billy Bush is ridiculous. NBC had and knew about this tape for years yet had no problem paying Trump. It is faux outrage and Bush just happened to be caught in the crossfire.

the difference is everyone knows who Stern is. his shock value is gone, and has been for a long time. billy bush seemed like the type of guy they wanted to portray as this squeaky clean little brother type. and coverage of the presidential election is exponentially bigger than a talent show.

I don't really have the answers to that. as yes, it does seem inconsistent. I'm sure there's more to it.

I think that's exactly what it is. And it's the Today show which is their white suburban homemaker friendly show. He became a liability quickly.

Howard Stern is a shock jock who built his entire career on that behaviour. Billy Bush is a morning show host who is expected to be squeaky clean and to appeal to stay at home moms. The two are not comparable in any way.

I don't care about the guy at all. I'm just saying that just his connection to Trump in that video, and how he behaved in that video alone, no matter how good his behaviour is otherwise, seems like a valid reason for the Today Show to fire him. People now connect him directly to this scandal, and that's it. Why would the Today Show want that connection? Seriously, that was really icky behaviour on his part in that video. I will never not think about it if I see his face (wouldn't have even recognized it before this).

That is witch hunting logic.

How do you figure? How is it witch hunting for a TV network to watch an incriminating video and decide that it damages the reputation of the employee in question enough for them to want to fire him? Are you sure you know what witch hunting is?

Like I said before, if you burn down the GOP, all that's left is the Trumps, the Palins, the Santorums etc
