BEYOND SH0CKING – Signed but Not yet on air – Today Show host FIRED instantly over Explosive Scandal!
Viewers joked it was “signed in the morning, fired by evening” – Today Show host Billy Bush axed in a historic scandal
In reality, Billy Bush did stay on air for almost half a year, yet his downfall remains one of TV’s fastest and most dramatic exits.
Joining Today in 2016 after a successful run hosting entertainment and gossip shows, Bush quickly secured the coveted third-hour anchor spot – a big career leap. But cracks started to appear when he mishandled the Ryan Lochte Olympic interview: instead of pressing for truth, he let Lochte share a false robbery story unchecked.
The real storm hit when a 2005 recording surfaced, capturing Bush engaging in l3wd, m1s0gynistic b@nt3r with Donald Tr::u::mp. Within days, NBC felt compelled to fire him to protect its reputation, even though Bush had actually been on air for several months before the scandal exploded. Fans expressed regret, but also spread the phrase “signed in the morning, fired by evening” – capturing the shocking speed with which a rising TV star’s world collapsed.
