"There is simply no excuse for Billy's language and behavior on that tape," Today" executive producer Noah Oppenheim said in a memo Sunday.
Bush was host on "Access Hollywood" when he was aboard a bus with Trump when the crude conversation took place. At the time, it was believed to have been a private conversation.
Bush has apologized for his role in the remarks and deleted his Twitter account.
Bush is suspended “pending further review of the matter,” Openheim said.
