Network executives at NBC installed Billy Bush as host of 'Extra' three years after the disgraced former 'Access Hollywood' figure was outed alongside Donald Trump in a lewd audiotape recording.

on Monday alongside fellow co-hosts Tanika Ray and Renee Bargh. He released a promotional video this week saying he has"overcome" the Trump video ordeal, although in discussion with CBS, Bush said he didn't want to be labeled a"victim."

In an interview with CBS's Gayle King released Tuesday, she asked Bush,"Are you angry at Donald Trump?" for being involved in his 3-year banishment from television."No," he replied. Bush said he was"due for some kind of reckoning in my life" because"I don't think I'd ever really been through anything difficult," before elaborating on how he used to rail against people who made minor mistakes in the past."I think I needed to grow up a bit. Even though I was, you know, in my 40s."

If you had stood against Trump you might have earned respect you p..sy

I wonder why lol because he's insane

.. / Bush said he was 'due for some kind of reckoning in my life'/ .. a 'reckoning' that many of maga realDonaldTrump's supporters may confront .. BillyBush just now 'get's it?' ..

Go away

You hooked your horse up to the wrong wagon Billy. Anything Trump touches that doesn’t line his pocket or stuck up him get thrown out like trash. Just accept it, you’re done.

That tape ruined his career and left trump unscathed. Someone gonna have to explain that to me real slowly.

Cool, nice to be born on 3rd base and end up on 2nd base. That Bush last name is pretty handy. But the rest of America can just be peasant class...

Who would want him? Is there a shortage of human beings in the world? Get a job selling insurance.

How did this end Billy Bush’s career and not Trump’s presidential run?

With all the horrible things happening recently this shit is news worthy?

Bold as ....!

Had he been taped having that same conversation with anyone else, he'd have been golden. The TDS afflicted drilled him collaterally in their zeal to destroy Trump.

We can never fault Trump for the things he say, but someone must pay the consequences.
