How Much Billy Bush and 11 Other ‘Today’ Show Hosts Are Worth

It’s one of the most popular morning shows in the country, but instead of sharing breaking news, the “Today” show has recently become a headline in its own right. On Oct. 7, tapes that captured a lewd conversation about women between Donald Trump and “Today” anchor Billy Bush — who was working for “Access Hollywood” at the time — during a 2005 interview were published in an article by the Washington Post.

Bush, the newest member of the “Today” show team began appearing on-air in August, during the Rio Olympics. Following the recent controversy, however, Bush was suspended indefinitely from the morning show on Oct. 10.
