Bush joined the program as East Coast correspondent in December 2001, and was promoted to co-anchor in June 2004. In 2007, Bush hosted the popular NBC talent competition show "Grease - You're the One That I Want."
Through his role at "Access Hollywood," countless high-profile red carpet events including the Golden Globes, Grammys, and Academy Awards as well as hosted ABC's live pre-show for the 2004, 2005 and 2006 Academy Awards and "2006 Emmy Red Carpet Special." In addition, he reported for NBC at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Greece and hosted "Access Hollywood's" coverage of the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, and will also cover the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.
Bush began his career hosting the afternoon drive show on WLKZ-FM in New Hampshire, later moving to Washington, D.C., where he hosted the midday show on WARW-FM. In March of 1997, Bush brought his award-winning talent for entertainment and humor to WWZZ-FM (Z104) in D.C. as host of "Billy Bush and the Bush League Morning Show," which aired until January 2001. Before joining "Access Hollywood," Bush was a correspondent for WNBC-TV's "Today in New York" morning show.
This April, Bush returns to his roots in radio as he launches "The Billy Bush Show," an evening talk and music radio show with Westwood One, which he and "Access Hollywood" Executive Producer, Rob Silverstein, will produce. The show, which will air evenings Monday-Friday, will focus on the top entertainment stories and personalities in the news and will feature celebrity guests and listener calls.
Although Bush maintains a busy work schedule, he regularly makes time for philanthropic endeavors. He has served on Operation Smile's Board of Governors for over four years, a non-profit organization whose mission is to repair childhood facial deformities while building public and private partnerships that advocate for sustainable healthcare systems for children and families. In addition, Bush also proudly serves on the Board of Directors for the Lollipop Theater Network, a non-profit organization that arranges private screenings of newly released movies for children suffering from debilitating illnesses. These children are usually confined to hospitals or other secluded environments preventing them from going to movie theaters.
Bush earned a bachelor's degree in international studies and government at Colby College in Maine where he was a two-time captain of the men's lacrosse team. He resides in Los Angeles with his wife, Sydney, and three daughters.
