Another talk show shake-up. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Billy Bush is leaving Access Hollywood for NBC’s Today show.
Bush has been working at Access Hollywood since 2001. In 2004, he was promoted to co-anchor and has been hosting ever since.
Bush will reportedly join the Today cast as a co-host starting in September, the same month that Michael Strahan begins his new hosting gig on Good Morning America—one of Today‘s morning show competitors.
NBC is expected to give a formal announcement of Bush’s move at their upfront presentation on May 16th.
What do you think? Do you watch Access Hollywood? Will you watch Bush on Today? Do you think he’s a good fit for the morning show?
I might start watching Access Hollywood again. I only watch KLG and Hoda on the Today show, so hopefully I won’t have to listen to him. What I don’t get is that they have actors hosting the show at times, so I don’t understand what’s the point of Billy moving to the Today show.
How many hosts/co-host does Today need? There’s already 5 of them (or more) sitting there every morning….or is someone leaving?
