NY POST:
Longtime NBC News anchor Matt Lauer has been fired over inappropriate sexual behavior, the network confirmed.
The veteran “Today” host was let go after a colleague complained about the inappropriate behavior, NBC News chief Andrew Lack said in a memo published on Wednesday’s show.
This was the first time an employee had complained about Lauer during his 20 years at “Today,” Lack continued, but executives believe there would be more allegations.
An emotional Savannah Guthrie, his co-host since 2012, broke the news at the opening of “Today.”
Lauer was one of NBC News’ highest-paid talents, helming “Today” alongside numerous co-anchors and scoring the network’s biggest interviews.
His firing comes a week after CBS News fired Charlie Rose.
Why do I think this is more about money with some of these guys than harassment.
