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

Posted on 11/21/2012 2:43:51 PM PST by tobyhill

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."

The reason the show is in the tank is because of years of Liberal marshmallow fluff they try to pass off as news.

This is a serious journalist by NBC standards.

The show that has passed them in the ratings isn’t exactly a conservative bastion of serious news reporting.

I’ve been up close and personal on one of his vacations. I find Lauer to be a complete pain in the ass!

I am surprised that he has been on the show this long. He has about as much personality as a turnip.

After sixteen some odd years, they are just recognizing that Lauer is a self obsessed jerk and not all that bright. Will wonders never cease.

He’s a 1% er. Wonder if he will have to pay more in taxes next year, or will he just go on welfare and disability

He still gets 25 million to finish off the contract. Not a bad deal for him.

They’ll send him someplace east of Katmandu and then forget to ask “where in the world is Matt Lauer?”
