Wide World of Women

Never been a Matt Lauer fan...but something is NOT right here.

No allegations in over 20 years, and the FIRST time he does "something" people THINK there MAY BE a pattern?

Ummm...no. Just no.

We've discussed him in chat for years. Stories of him sleeping with Natalie at the 2014 winter Olympics plus him messing around with other women at NBC. Not surprised at his firing.

Something tells me there's a recording or something. Given his status at the company and the swiftness with which they pulled the trigger - I mean Savannah says she didn't even know until a few minutes before going on the air - there must have been some pretty damning proof.

I was wondering when they were gonna get him. Knew his day was coming soon. Of all the accusations being tossed around, this is the least surprising to me.

What are the chances for a few Meredith turns for fill in

As co host?, you think they'll bring her for a sub?

I hope they hire her back temp

what do you guys think?

Plus the best legs to watch cause she exposes them so well and she knows what's she doing to us!!

Guessing Lindsay's husband will fill in.

I wonder what NatMo's going to have to say about this.

Maybe they'll bring back Ann Curry.

Massive reaction on Today's twitter page

Lauer has already been removed from @TODAYshow twitter profile pic. NBC is not messing around!

Indeed...I don't see any way she can avoid it. She made an on-air statement about her experience with director James Toback when she was young and this hits much closer to home.

OK; here's Natalie's reaction. Not earth shattering. Like everyone else associated with the Today show, she's still processing.

Wow, unless they got them up and in the studio just to react to this, they tape way earlier than I realized. It's not even 9am on the west coast!

Hmm...you may be right. Natalie's make-up looks like a rush job not that she's not still beautiful. It just looks a bit uneven.

The New York Times, through a civil rights lawyer, did in fact reach out to the woman who came forward.
However, she is not--and I repeat not ready to come forward--but she might someday, you never know:

Again, considering the culture today--this news hardly surprises me even with all of the past allegations while being on assignment in 11 Olympic Games.

Of course, there will be a whole slew of candidates ready and willing to take over--Sunday Today host Willie Geist pinch hit for Matt many times over the last few years, and of course we all know about Meredith Vieira.

But let's face it, Meredith and former "perky" host Katie Couric are getting older. Is someone thinking that maybe fresher blood that is currently down the Comcast pipeline could be in the offering come 2018?

For those wishing to look back at some of the testy times before YouTube and Twitter became things:

Read somewhere else that this is just the tip of the iceberg at NBC. There are more. They have had rumors about difficulty working with women back as far as Jane Pauley. What remains to be seen is how many can be proven credible. All of these sudden revelations of harassment by so called powerful men are going to attract their hangers on for the attention. Being said, glad he's gone for whatever reason or outcome.

with all names coming out and hear more names. i surpise we have not heard from more people get named. also is this main reason why one girl left for show on west coast

I saw post that he was given gifts to Natmo and Savannah.
