4. From Wikipedia:
Billy Bush
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Jump to: navigation, search

William Hall "Billy" Bush (born October 13, 1971) is the co-host of the NBC Universal-owned syndicated television entertainment program Access Hollywood along with Nancy O'Dell. Previously on the show, he was an East Coast correspondent in New York City from early 2002 until mid-2004, when Pat O'Brien left the show to host the new television program, The Insider. Bush is known for his light-hearted sense of humor and on-air high jinks with celebrity interviewees. For example, Bush famously brought pizza backstage to the models (including Heidi Klum) at a Victoria's Secret fashion show; he presented Colin Farrell with a post-menopausal stripper for his birthday at the premiere of Phone Booth; he asked Penelope Cruz if she was able to spell her boyfriend Matthew McConaughey's last name (she could not); he asked Jennifer Lopez how she really feels about her butt; he asked Britney Spears whether Madonna or Colin Farrell was a better kisser; and he disguised himself as "Richard Broom" and faced Donald Trump at an audition for The Apprentice. However, his attitude has sometimes backfired. For example, he was criticized for beginning a live interview of Naomi Watts at the Academy Awards with "Watts up?"

Bush's "big gets" have sometimes been overlooked. Bush landed the first interview with Britney Spears's first husband, Jason Alexander in Kentwood, Louisiana after bringing a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich to his home as a gift. In March of 2005, Jennifer Aniston granted Bush her very first television interview after the breakup of her marriage to Brad Pitt at the Show West Awards in Las Vegas. In May, 2005, Bush was the first journalist to interview Tom Cruise as he promoted War of the Worlds. It was during that interview that Cruise first attacked Brooke Shields for her use of antidepressants to combat postpartum depression, setting off a firestorm of controversy.

Bush earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in International Studies and Government at Colby College in Waterville, Maine. He was captain of the college's men's lacrosse team.

Bush hosted the radio morning show, Billy Bush and the Bush League Morning Show, on WWZZ-FM (Z104) in Washington, DC until 2001.

He now resides in Los Angeles with his wife, Sydney, and their three daughters, Josephine, Mary Bradley, and Lillie. He is the son of Josephine and Jonathan Bush.

Interestingly, Billy is the first cousin of the 43rd U.S. President, George W. Bush and the nephew of the 41st U.S. President, George H. W. Bush. In the summer of 2004, NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien parodied Michael Moore's controversial Fahrenheit 9/11 by doing a short skit on Billy Bush. Moore himself appeared in it, saying, "I went after the wrong Bush." Despite Bush's family name, he has remained mostly nonpartisan publicly, although he donated a small sum to his cousin's presidential campaign.

As part of his Access Hollywood work, Bush was sent to the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece to do entertainment features.

More recently, Bush concluded his third appearance as co-host of the Miss Universe 2005 pageant in Bangkok, Thailand. He previously co-hosted the pageant in 2003 and 2004 alongside Daisy Fuentes and fellow Access Hollywood co-anchor Nancy O'Dell, respectively. He also hosted the Miss USA pageant in 2003, 2004, and 2005.

3. The stories of how he got the job are pretty sickening...
...I guess if you're on the receiving end of nepotism it's no big deal.

Apparently,

1). He knew he wasn't wanted (no "Billy Bush mandate," to be sure)

2). He knew that phone calls were made because "he is a Bush" and favors were called in (just like the phone calls that got Junior into the T.A.N.G.)

3). He has a steady gig as an "entertainment reporter" and could give a rats' ass as to how and why he got it.

4). He also knows how to smirk (see below).



:evilgrin:

8. His Daddy Made The Calls
His shelf life is nearly over. He hasn't advanced and they just brought a young "hunk on the show. Not long now before it's bye bye Billy.

7. i've had the misfortune of stumbling over mr. bush on TV
let's say the lowest common denometer (especially in the bush dynasty ) tends to succeed.

i'm not sure what sex ole billy is....a little bit girly......a little bit smallboy. i'm confused.

9. I turned MSNBC off when he appeared
He worked at Fox (and was broadcasting) the night of election 2000. You might recall Fox was the first network to officially call the deadlocked Florida race for Bush* and declare him the president (sic) elect. The other networks quickly followed suit.

Billy Bush was on the phone with Jeb Bush* getting first-hand information so to speak and thus the network's call.

One of the earliest lessions we learn in politics is that the first perception is 90% of everything. Once Bush* was declared president (sic)elect (pardon the awkwardness of that term, but obviously I cannot omit the "sic"), the battle to have a state-constitionally authorized recount by Gore became simply a "sore-loser" on a quest. We have Billy Bush to thank, among others, for that.

He may have a career in broadcasting because of his last name -- but not in this house. No Bushes allowed under this roof.
