Life appears to be a beach for Billy Bush — despite being mired in a national controversy for his crude comments in a vile, recently surfaced 2005 video with Donald Trump.
The 44-year-old TV host sported flip-flops, a "Beach" T-shirt and sweatpants during a daytime stroll in Encino, Calif., on Monday — his first public sighting since NBC executives suspended him indefinitely from the "Today" show.
“The Bushy” has received a wave of backlash since last Friday, when The Washington Post published unaired raw footage of he and Donald Trump engaging in a vulgar conversation about women while taping for "Access Hollywood."
In the 11-year-old clip, Bush repeatedly gawks over soap star Arianne Zucker after spotting her on the set of "Days of Our Lives."
"Uh, yeah, those legs, all I can see is the legs," Bush, who was married at the time, says at one point in the clip.
"I've got to use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her. You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them," he said. "It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it, you can do anything ... Grab them by the p---y. You can do anything."
Bush, who joined "Today" in August, has since issued an apology, admitting he "acted foolishly in playing along."
Multiple insiders, meanwhile, have told CNN that they don't expect Bush to ever be brought back on the NBC morning show.
