Billy Bush has been suspended from the Today show. As you know, earlier this week a tape of Bush chatting with Donald Trump on a hot mic leaked, and the two exchanged a number of degrading and derogatory remarks about women.

In a note sent to show staffers, Us Weekly reports that Noah Oppenheim, the executive in charge of the NBC morning show, wrote, "I know we've all been deeply troubled by the revelations of the past 48 hours. Let me be clear — there is simply no excuse for Billy's language and behavior on that tape. NBC has decided to suspend Billy, pending further review of this matter."

Bush was scheduled to resume his position as co-anchor on Monday morning, and a number of sources claimed he was set to issue another apology and talk about the incident in more detail. While Bush's remarks weren't nearly as offensive as Trump's, the fact that he played along with the star and seemingly encouraged the behavior is pretty bad.

"Sheesh, your girl's hot as sh*t," Bush said before the two met Days of Our Lives actress Arianne Zucker. "Yes! The Donald has scored." Bush asked Zucker to give the real estate mogul a hug, after Trump joked about popping Tic Tacs in case he was going to kiss her. "I'm automatically attracted to beautiful [women]—I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet," Trump famously said. "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****. You can do anything."

"Obviously I'm embarrassed and ashamed," Bush said Friday night. "It's no excuse, but this happened 11 years ago — I was younger, less mature and acted foolishly in playing along. I'm very sorry."

What do you think should happen to him?
