Billy Bush grabs new job as Fox News contributor, says he's a changed man
Published in Entertainment News
TV personality Billy Bush is joining Fox News as a contributor.
The right-wing media giant said the 54-year-old correspondent will “appear across all platforms” starting Tuesday evening when he visits “Jesse Waters Primetime.”
“I’m excited to join Fox News Media and its loyal audience to share my perspective on the people, ideas and moments shaping today’s culture … as well as the ones trying to undo it,” Bush said in a statement released by the network.
The kin of two former U.S. presidents began his broadcasting career more than 20 years ago and has appeared on television shows including NBC’s “Today” and the syndicated program “Extra.”
His most infamous media moment occurred during the 2016 presidential election when previously unaired footage of Bush joking with then-candidate Donald Trump years earlier made national headlines.
That 2003 outtake featured audio of Trump and Bush — who was working for “Access Hollywood” at the time — sitting inside a bus and joking about celebrities like himself groping women.
“You can do anything,” Trump said. “Grab ’em by the p---y.”
Bush can be heard cackling and seeming to agree, “Whatever you want.”
That incident cost Bush his job at NBC. He said in a 2019 “CBS This Morning” interview that he’s now a different person.
“It was my first year as the co-host of the show,” he said. “You know, you want people to like you, and you’re a little eager. I became a very different guy, so the guy that got fired, no question, was a very different guy.”
Bush’s résumé also includes coverage of major award shows and multiple Olympic Games. He currently hosts the streaming program “Hot Mics with Billy Bush.”
