Billy Bush has been suspended from the "Today" show "pending further review of the matter," NBC News said Sunday night.
It is unclear if he will ever return to the broadcast.
"He will never be on the show again," an on-air source said, reflecting what staffers are saying behind the scenes.
NBC’s sudden change came amid a chorus of calls for disciplinary action against Bush over his 2005 conversation with Donald Trump in which the GOP presidential candidate made lewd and sexually aggressive comments about women. Video of the conversation surfaced Friday.
The news came shortly before Trump was to debate Hillary Clinton on CNN at 9 p.m. ET. The town hall forum is co-moderated by CNN’s Anderson Cooper. Follow updates and watch coverage on CNN.
