Beating Around the Bush

2 1/2 years ago the Access Hollywood tape dropped with then Presidential candidate Donald Trump talking about how he likes to grab women by the pu$$y.

Many thought that the video’s release would stop Trump from landing in the White House.

The only career that the video killed was that of Access Hollywood host Billy Bush.

When the video was released, Bush had just started working for the Today Show. NBC fired him and he has not been heard from since.

But, that’s about to change.

People reports that Billy Bush is back on television with a new hosting gig. This fall, the veteran TV personality will host Extra Extra, a new iteration of the current syndicated entertainment show, featuring a modernized set and in-depth look at topics including pop culture, sports and politics.

“We all have to be able to evolve as we grow,” Bush, 47, tells PEOPLE. “The guy that left the scene in 2016 was already a changed person [since 2005], but I had the opportunity to grow up a little bit. Facing adversity in some way is good. And I feel I’ll be better at my job than I ever was. This is my next step.”

As for Donald Trump, he has not changed a bit.
