NBC has fired longtime ‘Today’ host Matt Lauer following allegations of workplace misconduct, the network announced on Wednesday.
“We are devastated,” ‘Today’ co-host Savannah Gutherie said in a visually emotional statement. “All we can say is we are heartbroken.”
Gutherie said that NBC News chairman Andy Lack informed employees of the decision on Tuesday night after having received a complaint about Lauer's behavior the night before. She read Lack's note on-air, noting that while the network says it had never received a complaint about Lauer before, it has "reason to believe this may not have been an isolated incident.
"We received a detailed complaint from a colleague about inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace by Matt Layer," she said. "It represented, after a serious review, a clear violation of our company's standards. As a result, we've decided to terminate his employment. While it is the first complaint about his behavior in the over 20 years he has been at NBC News, we were also presented with reason to believe this may not have been an isolated incident. our highest priority is to create a workplace environment where everyone feels safe and protected. and any action that runs counter to our core values are met with consequences. we are saddened by these events. we will face it together as a news organization and do it as transparent a manner as we can.

True! Clinton called him out as being one of the reasons she lost! I bet she is thrilled. She and the Dems may have had something to do with it.
different versions for each IQ level..
Was he harassing men or women? I always thought he was gay.
Ha Ha! And “MeGyn” Kelly is still there! LOL!

Does anyone check FR before posting ? This news posted a plethora of times already ....
...and yet I missed the other post.
Not like Slanderson Pooper, Mika Brezhinski or Don Lemon anyway. Perhaps a calibration is due
Drama Queen, huh? . . . look, you've only got a few things in this world worth protecting at all costs - two of them are your reputation and your money
Nuff said
pshaw . . . if Megyn Kelly complained it was because he didn't hit on her.
Who would hit on Megan Kelly anyway? Have you seen the way she dances? She's about as alluring as wet cardboard.
Ha! You’re right! Maybe “she” should bbecome “She who will never be president!”
Perhaps a man ‘displaying’ as a woman...or a good looking standard poodle.
It happens to BFAC who is arrogant and feels no need to search.
And kind of stupid, too... let's not leave that out.
