NBC's Matt Lauer says he was reduced to tears when he watched President Obama surprise Vice President Biden with the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Thursday.
"I'm glad there were no cameras in my apartment yesterday because I was just sitting there weeping ... I just burst out crying when I saw that moment. It was incredible, Lauer, who recently signed a reported $20 million per year contract extension through 2018, said Friday on "Today."
The waterworks were on for Biden himself as well on Thursday when Obama shocked his vice president with the Medal of Freedom. Biden had to turn from the cameras momentarily to compose himself.
NBC Newss chief foreign affairs correspondent, Andrea Mitchell, shared the same sentiment in a report recapping the medal ceremony, saying the friendship between the two men is something rarely seen in Washington politics.
"Its a bond like we've never seen before. At times, more like a White House buddy movie than a political partnership," Mitchell observed.
"After eight years, the Bidens and Obamas forging a friendship so close they consider themselves family. ... Their friendship often reaching a fever pitch on social media," she continued.
"Biden tweeting a photo of a friendship bracelet on the Presidents birthday: 'Happy 55th, Barack! A brother to me, a best friend forever.'
After the "Today" report, guest co-host Meredith Vieira called the event so beautiful.

GAWD! GAG ME WITH A FORK!......He must have no balls at all....................
Did he get "tingles" up and down his leg, too? MORON!
LOL!!!...................
The shocking thing is, he probably actually did.
I knew he was gay!
It’s been painfully-obvious what Matt Lauer is for many years.
Meredith Viera, too.
A crying meme now? I’d say now I’ve seen it all, but I know better. Sheesh!
Another little league participation trophy.
Faggot.
It was sad to see how pathetic Biden looked, how grateful he was and how shallow and pathetic his actual life must be. My son, when he was in SECOND GRADE, scoffed when I asked him why he didn’t have more stars on the “star chart” for reading books, since I knew he was a voracious reader. He looked at me in astonishment and said, “MOM! It is just STARS on a STAR CHART!” Over-rewarding that is not commensurate with the accomplishment is demeaning. For that, I felt a little sad.
Before I clicked on the comments that was my first thought. What a loser in addition to being a fag.
He's groped, molested, pawed, hugged, nuzzled, squeezed, fondled and dry humped more men, women, boys, girls, tranny boys, biker chicks, wives, sheriff deputies and pet donkeys than any other politician in history.
True story. That little boy Biden dry humped was so traumatized - he went on to become a tranny.
Biden got a medal for a lifetime of living off the taxpayers. Maybe it was for a career of comic relief. Or, it was his participation trophy.
These weeping poofs all worship at the altar of leftism and cannot be trusted to convey any honest reportage.
Every other normal American couldn’t believe their eyes and probably rolled them too!
When Biden said, “I don’t deserve this,” that was the first time I’ve ever agreed with him.
Its all right Matt, yours is a common reaction for those who know their time is passing, say like...the Neanderthals?
