It is now toast time: NBC added a half-hour to its coverage of the Kentucky Derby May 3.
Red-carpet veteran Billy Bush, from NBC Universal's syndicated magazine show, Access Hollywood, will host a Kentucky Derby red-carpet show at 4 p.m. for a look at the pre-race parties and celebrities who attend them. There will be the usual fashion watch, celebrity interviews and behind-the-scenes color.
To help cross-promote the coverage, Bush will also preview the race on the syndicated show in the week leading up to the race.
