Billy Bush, the entertainment reporter caught laughing along on the 2005 'Access Hollywood' recording in which Donald Trump made lewd remarks about women, has joined Fox News as a contributor. He debuted on 'Jesse Watters Primetime,' where the host jokingly floated Bush for a Cabinet post or as Trump's next press secretary, a bit Bush played along with.

The tape's release in 2016 cost Bush his $3.5 million job co-hosting NBC's 'Today,' while Trump went on to win that year's election. Bush has since apologized repeatedly, at one point claiming he has no memory of actually hearing Trump's remark land at the time.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

Ten years ago this recording ended one career and barely dented another, which tells you plenty about which direction accountability flows in this business. Now the man who laughed gets a cable perch on the same side of the fence as the man who talked, joking about Cabinet jobs like it's a class reunion. Some tapes come back to haunt you; this one apparently comes back to hire you.
