Billy Bush books 'Late Show With Stephen Colbert' appearance

The Late Show With Stephen Colbert has added a special first-time guest for its Monday show: Billy Bush.

The Monday night visit marks the first late-night appearance for Bush since the former Today host was fired from Access Hollywood over the infamous Donald Trump "grab them by the pussy" tape that surfaced ahead of Trump's election. Bush's appearance comes amid the tape resurfacing in the news cycle, due to a report that President Trump was denying the authenticity of the tape.

According to The New York Times, Trump likened the sexual misconduct allegations against Alabama's GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore to the public response to the Trump tape, in which he was caught boasting about grabbing women’s genitalia to Bush, who was then the co-host of the NBC program, 11 years prior. The Times said Trump — who acknowledged that the voice was his and apologized after it was revealed in October 2016 — suggested to a senator earlier this year that the tape was fake.

On Monday, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Trump has not “changed his position,” despite the report.

Bush will also be making his appearance just days after former Today co-anchor Matt Lauer's termination from NBC News.

Lauer was the one to announce Bush would be leaving Today in October 2016. Bush had joined the team at Today in August 2015 after many years at Access Hollywood.

The Late Show has had a field day covering the Access Hollywood tape in the past year, including welcoming on Laura Benanti to appear as Melania Trump to defend the Bush-Trump idea of "locker room talk."

The get comes after a tumultuous few weeks of scheduling for the CBS late-night show, after dropping a pre-recorded interview with Jeremy Piven in light of sexual harassment claims against the former CBS star, and having an appearance with Louis C.K. scrapped amid allegations that the comedian masturbated in front of multiple women.
