Matt Lauer is the new O Reilly?

Will he too start a twitter undergound version of his show to keep up a bit of his former prestige?

No all joking aside, sad to hear about his firing today. Not a huge fan of his, but he was always around all my life, a good classy person.

Well shit. You know what I think happened, he was caught on tape or camera making unwanted advances or saying something dickish to a girl at work.

But he's too smart to do that in today's paranoid pussy world we're in, something doesn't make sense... could be a hit job, could be. It's all so sudden and we have no proof, no full story on this, just a sudden dismissal. Couldn't they have respected him enough to let him quietly resign instead of publicly shaming him? Say whatever you want about what he did or didn't do, but he some how knocked the show out every day and got it done with such dignity and grace. He was the best. People are now calling for Roker's firing because he's well, he's Roker at times.... Maybe it's coming...

Well who knows. I'm going to guess he got irritated by a girl at work who was harassing him and decided to return the favor. I've been there. Girls LOVE to harass and belittle us then when we fight back they cry about it, been there at my old job. I didn't want to start anything with this chick, but she brought it HARD to me every chance she could get, and it was just a wake up to how females operate, super tough when it comes to attacking males, then turn into little princess when you blow up at them. I think he met the same girl, he did something in an act of rage and now she has the fuel she wanted to burn him. Sad but real talk, that's how I've experienced it, women are tough to figure out, bro.

Good luck Matt, we're not all hating ya...

Edit: Further thawtz.

I don't know what's going on but apparently Lauer had a history of being a dick to people at Today and may have been responsible for one of his co workers getting fired.

Sad, so sad... why can't people try to be better and not give in to the dark side. It does come back to bite you, it so does as is clear here.

I'd like to know what he did. What finally broke the last straw here. I guess we'll never know. He'll never speak about it, ever. But Lauer can't just disappear at all. Whatever he does, this ghost will follow him, this mystery will be there. Maybe man up and say sorry, it's a start, bro....
