ANECDOTE

Silence Broken

Billy Bush avoided discussing the Access Hollywood tape publicly for years after his NBC firing.
He now feels the timing is right with the launch of his new show, "Hot Mics with Billy Bush."

INSIGHT

No Investigation

NBC never investigated the leak of the Access Hollywood tape, likely because they knew they were involved.
Their priority was damaging Trump's election campaign, not journalistic integrity.

ANECDOTE

Oppenheim's Reaction

Noah Oppenheim, then-president of NBC News, laughed when hearing the Access Hollywood tape before Bush's firing.
Megyn Kelly criticizes Oppenheim, Lack, and other NBC hosts like Craig Melvin and Al Roker for their lack of character.
