Overview
- Bush, who made the remarks on June 12 on The Nerve podcast, described Roker as “territorial, vindictive, and chronically unprepared” and said he was “mean.”
- He accused Roker of interrupting and jealously undercutting him on Today and called Roker “maybe the worst interviewer on television.”
- Bush said Roker liked social‑media posts that labeled Bush a “white‑splaining racist” and that producers did not act because Roker “had been there forever.”
- The comments recall Bush’s brief stint on Today in 2016 and his October 2016 departure after the resurfacing of the Access Hollywood tape that led to his suspension and firing.
- Us Weekly, Page Six and The Independent report Bush’s interview as their source and say they have contacted Roker’s representatives for comment with no public rebuttal reported so far.
