Billy Bush is out at “Today,” multiple sources tell Page Six — but NBC News is carefully weighing when to make the announcement.

An NBC insider told us: “He is technically fired. It’s just a matter of time. NBC isn’t ready to announce it yet. They are negotiating his exit.”

Bush was suspended from “Today” on Sunday.

Another source close to the network told Page Six: “Billy is done. He is out, but they don’t want to announce anything yet because NBC was burned by the Ann Curry debacle and they are trying to figure out how to do this.” The source added: “They don’t have any incentive to announce this immediately. Each day that goes by” — and gets further from the Donald Trump scandal — “it gets easier” to announce.

The source added NBC staffers fear there could be more damning tape of Bush than just his now-infamous “Access Hollywood” outtake with Trump. “Forget about more Trump tape, there could be more tape on Billy.”

Meantime, another source said: “Billy’s being pushed out — it looks like he’s going to get dumped — when the network has stood by people like Brian Williams who lied on the air, and was very publicly supportive of Matt Lauer after the [controversial] commander-in-chief town hall.”

On whether Bush will get a Williams-style “soft landing” with a more low-key role within NBC to save face, an insider added, “I highly doubt it. This is going to be goodbye. The sad thing is he’s a nice guy — he’s just stupid.”

A rep for NBC had no comment.

Meanwhile on Tuesday, Bush was still trying to save face by hiring a crisis PR whiz. An insider close to the drama said Bush, 44, is “looking to hire a high-power fixer/PR person.”

Bush was suspended after the 2005 tape surfaced of him and GOP presidential nominee Trump involved in lewd conversation about women. Bush had even bragged about the tape to NBC staffers while he was covering the Olympics in Rio, Page Six reported.
