Matt Lauer was fired by NBC Wednesday over reports the “Today,” host had allegedly made unwanted sexual advances towards multiple women. Variety reports: As the co-host of NBC’s “Today,” Matt Lauer once gave a colleague a sex toy as a present. It included an explicit note about how he wanted to use it on her, which left her mortified.On another day, he summoned a different female employee to his office, and then dropped his pants, showing her his penis. After the employee declined to do anything, visibly shaken, he reprimanded her for not engaging in a sexual act.He would sometimes quiz female producers about...

It wasn’t just the executives that knew, either. Variety’s sources claim at least one of Lauer’s co-hosts knew full well what was happening, a point that might require answers from the women who claimed on air to know nothing about Lauer’s actions:

Matt Lauer made headlines today, November 29th, after being fired from NBC over allegations of sexual misconduct in the workplace. And while many are shocked, a look back shows that Lauer has behaved questionably towards women in the past to varying degrees. In fact, in her recent memoir, What Happened, Hillary Clinton wrote she was “ticked off” at Lauer for his line of questioning at the Commander-in-Chief Forum before the 2016 election. In the book, Clinton noted that Lauer focussed intently on her private email server, repeatedly returning to the topic even after it had been thoroughly discussed — all...

The fast-moving national reckoning over sexual harassment in the workplace toppled another television news star on Wednesday when NBC fired Matt Lauer, the co-host of its most profitable franchise, “Today,” after an allegation of inappropriate sexual behavior with a subordinate. NBC News told its staff that it was firing Mr. Lauer some 34 hours after the woman and her lawyer visited the network headquarters in Midtown Manhattan to share details of her interactions with Mr. Lauer with company executives. On Wednesday, NBC received at least two more complaints related to Mr. Lauer, according to a person briefed on the network’s...

As the co-host of NBC’s “Today,” Matt Lauer once gave a colleague a sex toy as a present. It included an explicit note about how he wanted to use it on her, which left her mortified. On another day, he summoned a different female employee to his office, and then dropped his pants, showing her his penis. After the employee declined to do anything, visibly shaken, he reprimanded her for not engaging in a sexual act. He would sometimes quiz female producers about who they’d slept with, offering to trade names. And he loved to engage in a crass quiz...

Matt's doing a great job interviewing Olympians in Sochi, but he might be a little TOO into some of the athletes.

Kathie Lee Gifford wants to forgive Matt Lauer. The “Today” star, alongside co-host Hoda Kotb, addressed Lauer’s prompt firing after an employee raised allegations of sexual harassment against him. “I’m grappling with, should I even share something? But I guess I really should,” Gifford, 64, said during the 10 a.m. hour of “Kathie Lee & Hoda.” “I don’t feel that Matt has betrayed us in any way at all but when I found out that my husband [Frank Gifford] had betrayed me, you question your own judgment. You say, ‘Was everything a lie?’ And I think we have to very...

The abrupt firing of NBC "Today" co-host Matt Lauer announced Wednesday prompted cheers among Hillary Clinton’s loyalists who feel that he was extraordinarily mean to her — and soft on President Trump — during the 2016 presidential campaign. “Another person whose interview with Trump was ridiculously soft and interview with Hillary was incredibly tough: Matt Lauer,” tweeted former Clinton aide Neera Tanden, president of the Center for American Progress.

Five years before NBC axed Matt Lauer amid allegations of sexual misconduct, former "Today" show anchor Katie Couric addressed her longtime co-host's most "annoying" habit. During a June 2012 appearance on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen," Couric, 60, revealed Lauer, 59, got touchy with her behind during the show's "Plead the Fifth" segment. "He pinches me on the ass a lot," Couric said.

Wow!!! The Democrat Party has now become the "Equality Opportunity Sex Offenders Organization...headed by House Minority Leader, Nancy Pelosi, etc. Here is, but a small list of the "A" Team Democrat perverts, John Conyers, Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, Matt Lauer, Democrats on the Congressional Black Caucus , the Hispanic Caucus, Charley Rose and, of course the master pervert, Senator Al Franken. This list, it goes on & on, unending. It is the sex offense gift that keeps giving. And Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats protect everyone of them (do as I say, not as I do). Shucks....I guess falsely accused,...

I have sources that say Matt Layer has been fired. Mods, trust me. Breaking on local Miami news.

NBC has fired Matt Lauer for inappropriate workplace behavior. The move was first reported by New York Times media columnist Jim Rutenberg. Rutenberg tweeted that NBC News Chairman Andrew Lack wrote in a memo that there was a "complaint from colleague about inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace by Matt Lauer."

Just saw on Today show. Matt Lauer Fired!!!

In an interview with former Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Tuesday’s NBC Today, co-host Matt Lauer grilled the former cabinet official on wether President Trump was planning to re-invade the Middle East to “steal Iraq’s oil” and commit an “international crime” in the process. Lauer melodramatically predicted the scenario based on a brief aside from the commander-in-chief during an address to the Central Intelligence Agency on Saturday: “When President Trump went to Langley over the weekend, he made a comment, he said we might get another chance to steal Iraq's oil. He said this, quote, ‘If we kept the oil,...

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...

The following comments are based on the article, "NBC's Matt Lauer confronts Trump over his tweeting: Are you having a 'difficult time breaking' this habit?" from Business Insider.This morning on NBC’s “Today” show Matt Lauer talked to Donald Trump about his tweet addiction. Matt asked “I have not see you backing off fights on Twitter,” referring to Trump's attacks on Boeing for cost overruns, the cast of Hamilton, The New York Times, “Saturday Night Live,” and the media in general. Trump replied "No, I think I am very restrained, and I talk about important things.” Trump went on to...

According to an email forwarded to us late last night, which originated from a Comcast email address, the technical crew for NBC which produced the event is now speaking out about what took place moments after Clinton walked off the set – a massive profanity-laced tirade aimed at NBC’s host, Matt Lauer. It turned out that Clinton had been fed all the questions for approval in advance of the forum. But then, after the approval, Matt Lauer had had a change of heart and he started his questioning with an unapproved line concerning Clinton’s use of an illegal private server...

Throughout the campaign, it has been a core strategy for Donald Trump and his surrogates to play on and heighten existing American sexism and racism. Everything about his platform has been about taking down Hillary Clinton for her gender. Is she too soft or is she too angry? Is she fit for the job or does she not smile enough? But on Wednesday night, Trump got some help. Clinton and Donald Trump were making dueling appearances in New York in a live forum hosted by NBC's Matt Lauer to address subjects including national security, veterans' welfare, and sexual assault in...

A coin toss has determined that Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton will go first during Wednesday evening's Commander in Chief forum, hosted by the IAVA (Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America) and airing on NBC and MSNBC. Clinton will take questions from moderator Matt Lauer and members of the audience -- which will largely be comprised of veterans and active service members -- for 30 minutes before Donald Trump takes the stage. Both candidates stated a preference to be the second candidate to appear. Dafna Linzer, managing editor for NBC News and MSNBC, performed the coin toss. The event --...

Over the past few days, much has been written and said about Wednesday night’s MSNBC “Commander-in-Chief Forum,” which ostensibly pitted former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, but which, in reality, featured a much more daunting foe for the first woman nominee for president. Much of that analysis rightly scapegoats moderator Matt Lauer, who not only obsessed about the now-discredited “Emailgate” controversy, but by all accounts gave Donald Trump a free hand to lie, and utterly failed to challenge him on key areas. It’s hard to know where to begin with Lauer, who not only...
