“This is why the dressing room next to Matt’s room on the first floor behind the upstairs studio has remained empty for months — despite Tamron Hall and Hoda [Kotb] asking for it,” the insider noted. “It was being saved for Kelly!”
An insider revealed to Radar at the time that “Savannah on maternity leave is terrified” — and it showed during her Jan. 6 appearance to honor her co-host.

Instead, she complimented Lauer, 59, with an awkward monologue.
“Matt, you know this, but I’ve looked up to you all my life, because you’re so old,” Guthrie laughed. “I just want to say, we adore you… One of the things that is so wonderful about you is that from the second I walked in here, one of the things I noticed is that Matt knows every single person’s first name and last name. He knows the name of their dog. He knows how their mother is doing.”
She later added that his hashtag was trending on Twitter — much to his delight.

Savannah, they just aren’t that into you.
They both look like plastic media-manufactured automatons to me.
All these news readers see themselves as celebrities.
maybe the bosses think MeAgain can generate more heat and ratings...
can Savannah sue if they fire her during maternity leave? maybe Obama can represent her...
Deck chairs...Titanic...
But Matt Lauer will be. He is alleged to have had an affair with Samantha at one time.
I've kind of been wondering if its been determined yet who all Megyn slept with to get her new gig at NBC.
Oh the drama. My question is what did Megyn do to get the job?
I thought it was Natalie Morales he had the affair with.
Cat fight!
Megyn should have a white hot affair with Carson Daly or Al Roeker or Willie Geiss! that would get the ratings going again...
“it takes a village”...katie the commie just couldn’t help herself
Yikes! Radar* is unreadable, with all the pop-ups, glitches and ad cover. Like being trapped in a blender.
What a nothing story with no confirmation or verification that a single word of the title is remotely true.
the few times i’ve watched nbc i get the feeling willie geiss would prefer having an affair with matt lauer or carson daley or al rooker...
Aim low Megyn!

Most staffers at NBC were shocked to learn of Megyn Kelly‘s sudden move from Fox News, but not Matt Lauer!
In fact, according to insiders, the longtime NBC News anchor was kept in the know to help save space for Kelly when the network kicked fellow anchor Savannah Guthrie.
“Matt Lauer KNEW about Kelly and even gave it his blessing,” a source revealed exclusively to Radar. “His people and NBC are spreading rumors that Matt was kept out of the loop so when they replace Savannah with Kelly his hands are clean.”
“They cannot have another Ann Curry situation again,” the insider added.
As Radar reported, NBC News anchors are shaking in their boots over Kelly’s new position.
“Anchors are in panic mode inside NBC,” a source revealed. “No way is Kelly joining without an assigned show. This means someone is getting the ax and do not know it.”
“Savannah on maternity leave is terrified,” the insider added.
That’s not all, other top journalists with the network have also expressed concern over Kelly’s sudden intrusion: “Chuck Todd on Meet the Press is freaking out, and even Lester Holt is unsure of his future!”
With Lauer’s help, NBC’s morning segments will also undergo a drastic change.
“Kelly will end up co-hosting the first two hours of the show that are news focused,” said Radar’s source. “Matt hates fashion and cooking segments and wants the show to be more newsy and leave all ‘the sugar’ stuff to silly GMA!”
“This is why the dressing room next to Matt’s room on the first floor behind the upstairs studio has remained empty for months — despite Tamron Hall and Hoda [Kotb] asking for it,” the insider added. “It was being saved for Kelly!
