Related: About this forumBilly Bush to leave NBC, move to TrumpTV and host the third hour of Morning Joe (probably)
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/billy-bush-nbc-trump_us_5801784fe4b0e8c198a8531a?section=&Billy Bush and NBC News are closing in on an agreement that will have him leave the NBCUniversal-owned outlet, according to an attorney for the anchor.
The two sides ended a negotiating session on Friday, said Marshall Grossman, an attorney with the Orrick law firm who is representing Bush, in a brief interview. He said he expected both sides to reach an amicable resolution as soon as next week. Grossman declined to discuss specific terms of the discussions.
A settlement would mark a quick reversal of fortune for Bush, who arrived at NBCs Today just weeks ago to inject a new tone into the morning-show franchises 9 a.m. broadcast, which competes directly in many markets with the ABC syndicated program Live, hosted by Kelly Ripa. NBC made serious changes to the hour. Bushs move to the show resulted in longtime Today anchor Natalie Morales moving to the West Coast to work on Access Hollywood and serve as a Today correspondent and Willie Geist departing to work on a revamped Sunday Today edition.

Or he can always go clear some brush with his cousin George.

I don't know what they have to "negotiate" about; I would love to see that little shit summarily fired.
