"Since its 1996 debut, Access Hollywood has aired nearly 12,000 episodes. Yet its most infamous segment was one that never made it to broadcast: in October 2016, weeks before the presidential election, The Washington Post obtained footage of then-candidate Donald Trump making lewd comments about women to Access Hollywood host Billy Bush."
"While the tape forced Trump to make a rare apology, it did nothing to alter the election's outcome, as he went on to win the presidency."
Access Hollywood, the celebrity gossip and entertainment news program that debuted in 1996, is ending its nearly 30-year run on NBC. The show will continue airing new episodes through summer before officially concluding in fall. Over its tenure, Access Hollywood produced nearly 12,000 episodes. The program gained significant notoriety in October 2016 when The Washington Post obtained footage of then-candidate Donald Trump making lewd comments about women to host Billy Bush. Though the tape prompted Trump to issue a rare apology, it did not impact the election outcome, as he won the presidency.
