LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush is getting ready to make a run for the roses at the Kentucky Derby.
Prior to the legendary race on Saturday, May 3, Billy will host “Access at the Kentucky Derby” on NBC, providing viewers a backstage pass to all the action from the famed Churchill Downs racetrack.
The hour-long special, which will also include the “Kentucky Derby Red Carpet Show,” will provide an inside look at all of the famous parties, celebrities and high fashion surrounding what has been called the greatest day in Horse Racing.
The red carpet portion will feature celebrity interviews as the stars arrive to the track, with mint juleps and big hats undoubtedly in tow.
“I look forward to bringing a bit of fun and flair to one of sports’ greatest traditions,” Billy said. “And nobody looks better wearing an ascot and holding a mint julep than me.”
In addition to Derby Day coverage, in the week leading up to the race, Access Hollywood will check in at the legendary pre-parties to find out which stars will be on hand for the race, and what makes it such a draw to Hollywood’s biggest celebrities.
NBC’s live coverage of the Kentucky Derby will begin at 4 PM EST on May 3.
