Billy Bush has been suspended from the “Today” show, according to a memo from Noah Oppenheim, the show’s executive producer. “NBC has decided to suspend Billy, pending further review of this matter.”Earlier, reports had circulated indicating that Bush would appear on the show Monday to discuss his vulgar 2005 conversation with Donald Trump. Bush, a co-host of the “Today” show, was the host of “Access Hollywood” in 2005 when the lewd and explicit conversation happened. Trump joked that, as a star, he could “grab [women] by the pussy” as he pleased, while Bush laughed. This piece has been updated to note Bush has been suspended, after earlier reports that he would ― and then that he would not ― appear on the show Monday.
