Matt Lauer will follow Meredith Vieira out the door at NBCs Today show.
But not for a while, according to Entertainment Tonight, which reported the veteran show host had told his NBC bosses hell leave when his contract expires in December 2012.
NBC officials would say nothing for the record on Wednesday.
There seems to be an awful lot of speculation around news anchors these days, and its not our practice to comment on any of it, said a Today spokeswoman. Matt Lauer has a long-term contract with NBC News and Today.

First Katie and now Matt???
Oh, the Humanity!!/s
OMG! The Mayans were right! The world IS going to end in 2012!
Being Harry Reid’s chief fellater is so much more fun than a silly TV show.
LOL!
NBC loses two more deep thinkers. LOL!!
In July, I will air 22 episodes of MY tv series on NBC Sports. I am a FREEPER. My show is a conservative sportfishing show. I already have one episode that digs on B-HO. "FReep" spirit will be coming to NBC Sports (Versus) in July to Dec 2011. The world MUST be ending! (Teeheehee!)
OMG, you're right, I'll bet it's December 21, 2012, The End Of The World!!!
Oh, the Humanity!!!..:=)
Good for you FRiend, I hope your show takes off!!
I hope you're talking points are better than Matt's!!..:=)
The new management is cleaning house of the over priced under performing talent. Meredith Vieira isn’t half bad but Lauer is an airhead as far as I’m concerned. I could never understand how the networks paid so much money for so much mediocre talent. Well the new owners aren’t going to throw around money the way the old guys at ABC,CBS, and NBC did. They realize that you can get a very competent anchor for 1/10th of what they have been paying the likes of Vieira and Lauer. Look for more resignations in the not too distant future.
Loved how The Donald had Meredith speechless on Thursday morning. Wonder which two Liberals the network will hire to replace the two Liberals who are leaving.
Who?
LOL, saw that here on FR somewhere, Donald OWNED Meredith!!
Is he joining the cast of “The View” or “The Talk”? He can pass as one of the “ladies”.
Maybe he’s going to work for OWN/Oprah...he can have his OWN Castrati show!
The Mrs
Awesome. Hope it works out.
Katun 13-Ahau: This is a time of total collapse where everything is lost. It is the time of the judgment of God. There will be epidemics and plagues and then famine. Matt Lauer will leave NBC, and wise men and prophets will be lost.
