LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - U.S. television host Billy Bush is leaving the "Today" show, NBC said on Monday, after a 2005 video surfaced in which he and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump made lewd comments about women.

Bush, 45, was suspended from hosting duties on NBC's flagship morning show after tape came to light 10 days ago. In it, Bush laughed and bantered as Trump, then star of the "Apprentice" reality TV show, boasted about kissing and groping women without their permission and trying to seduce a married woman.
