Billy Bush visited The Late Show with Stephen Colbert December 4, propelling the show to 3.1/8, a tie for its highest metered market average for a Monday, according to Deadline. Immediately following the tape's reveal in October 2016, Bush was fired from his job as a host of Today. Trump’s recent denials about the tape "infuriated" Bush, he said, because of his own involvement as well as the many women who had accused Trump of sexual harassment. Colbert questioned Bush about his participation in the bus ride conversation, describing his behavior as "boorish" and "callow." The success of The Late Show continues to illustrate the public hunger for political satire, with Colbert's ratings increasing following the 2016 election.
