Matt Lauer gave an interview to The Daily Beast and basically blamed NBC for the way the Ann Curry debacle happened. According to Matt it had nothing to do with Matt and that he, being the noble guy he is offered to resign. If he offered to resign, NBC would have jumped all over that in a second, especially if they didn't have to pay him. Matt is trying to do what he can to save his job and get back fans, but ticking off your bosses while you face a May deadline is probably not the best move. It also makes you look like a whiner.
“I don’t think the show and the network handled the transition well," Lauer tells Kurtz. "You don’t have to be Einstein to know that. It clearly did not help us. We were seen as a family, and we didn't handle a family matter well.”
Umm, you kicked her out of the house Matt and now want the world to think it was your parents who kicked her out. Nope. It was you. You wanted Natalie Morales in your house and decided to kick out Ann and when she cried you made it seem like it was not your idea at all.
