Donald Trump's shocking victory could prove to be a comeback for former Today host Billy Bush, who was axed from the show after his crude conversation with the president-elect surfaced last month.

A source told Page Six that Breitbart News is interested in getting Bush for its coverage of Hollywood.

Trump's campaign CEO, Steve Bannon, is the head of the conservative website which the source says is trying to 'expand covering Hollywood in a big way'.

The media insider told Page Six that Breitbart believes Bush 'would be perfect for the job'.

Bush who received a reported $10million settlement after being given the boot from Today, is not under any 'non-compete clause', so he can go to a Today competitor.

As a part of the site, Breitbart includes its Big Hollywood blog about the entertainment industry.

But the real problem that could come with efforts of recruiting Bush is that Breitbart doesn't have a TV network.

'Billy's ego is big,' said the insider. He likes to be a TV star, and would want to go to a rival like ABC or CBS.'

After a 2005 video interview with Trump was leaked to the public last month, Bush was fired from Today.

The former Access Hollywood star was caught on the video with Trump making crude remarks about women.

The video included Trump's infamous 'grab 'em by the p***y' line, which has been used my millions of protesters since he was victorious over rival Hillary Clinton in an election that shocked the world.
