The man Billy Crystal once called "The most annoying man in show business," Billy Bush was born on October 13, 1971, and grew up in Killingworth, Ct. He is the nephew of George Bush and the cousin of George 'dubya' Bush. Billy attended St. George's School in Rhode Island and graduated from Colby College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in International studies and government. Billy began his career by hosting a radio show called "Billy Bush and the Bush League Morning Show" on WWZZ FM in Washington, D.C. This led to him to a co-host job on "Access Hollywood" and on the short-lived remake of "Let's Make A Deal," and he also had a small role in the remake of the film "The Stepford Wives." He and his wife Sydney have three daughters Josephine, Mary Bradley and Lillie.
One of cable television's most prolific emcees, and a first cousin of U.S. President George W. Bush, Billy Bush became a mainstay at such red-carpet events as the Miss Universe pageant and Countdown to the Oscars, and served as a correspondent on news programs including Today, Access Hollywood, and The Insider. Bush's career turned an unusual corner in 2003 when he hosted the revival of the game show Let's Make a Deal (a position he inherited from Monty Hall); he later signed to host the reality series Grease: You're the One That I Want (2007), presiding over a competition of theatrical tryouts who clamored to win the parts of Danny and Sandy in a revival of the stage musical +Grease.
