Report: Matt Lauer likely to get axe from 'Today' show
the examiner ^ | 11/21/2012 | BY: JESSICA CARLSON

Matt Lauer, host of the "Today" show, may be leaving the show involuntarily according to a report published by Radar Online on Wednesday.

Radar reported that a inside source said the writing was on the wall for Lauer, 54, who has often been blamed for the departure of long time co-host turned lead-host, Ann Curry, in June. Since the time Curry was fired from her position, numerous rumors have emerged about Lauer's inability to get along with staff and his need to be surrounded by "yes" men and women.

The source said, "His years-long feuds with former co-hosts Katie Couric, Meredith Vieira and Ann Curry have taken their toll. Everyone has turned against him and Matt is going to be ousted because he’s being blamed for the show’s collapse."

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. My favorite moment with Lauer will always be the drubbing he took at the hands of the lovely Michelle Malkin:

What do have against turnips?

I want to see him gone, but Occam needs a few nudges towards who's going to replace him from NBC before I believe it. Gregory? Spud Jr. (Russert)? One of the gazillion ur-Regis audition washouts?

I don't see anyone at NBC who can do it except maybe Baldwin -- who ironically was in full metal jackass mode on ur-Regis this morning.

Matt Lauer will be picked up by MSNBC or PBS or NPR or some other loser, liberal MSM site. His prosperity is assured. Nothing to see here, move on.

Wow. First Monkey Boy Hugo goes room temp and now Lauer gets canned. This may be the best week I have had in a long time.
