 ''Hot Mics with Billy Bush'' |
TuneIn has announced the launch of a new show hosted by veteran entertainment journalist Billy Bush. Entitled "Hot Mics with Billy Bush," the program promises bold insights into pressing issues across sports, politics, entertainment, technology and pop culture. With 24 years of experience, Bush aims to leverage his deep industry connections to bring diverse and influential voices to the fore, ranging from A-list celebrities to political figures and tech innovators.
The show, debuting on January 13, will feature candid, twice-weekly broadcasts where Bush will dissect cultural phenomena and offer unapologetic commentary on contemporary events. The inaugural episode will explain the origin of the show's provocative name and feature television journalist Megyn Kelly as its first guest.
Billy Bush, whose career includes over a decade as a primary anchor on "Access Hollywood" and co-hosting roles on the "Today Show" and "EXTRA," expressed enthusiasm about his new platform: "I'm excited to dive deep into culture-shaping moments and offer a raw, unfiltered take on today's biggest stories," Bush said. He emphasized his editorial independence, remarking, "The only person that can cancel me is me."
The program is backed by a robust production team led by three-time Emmy award winner Rob K. Silverstein, who previously worked with Bush on "Access Hollywood," and co-executive producer Steve Harding. Silverstein highlighted the unbridled nature of the new show: "There are no gatekeepers. No guard rails. The gloves are off. Be ready to see and hear Billy at his best."
TuneIn CEO Rich Stern commented on the partnership: "Billy brings a wealth of on-air radio and entertainment experience that makes 'Hot Mics' a must-listen show. We are proud to provide a platform that reaches our engaged audience."
"Hot Mics with Billy Bush" will air live every Monday and Wednesday at 5pm ET, with broadcasts available for on-demand listening across major podcast platforms and a full video version on YouTube.
