After reading article after article the past month with the
New York Magazine article this weekend the icing on top, one thing is certain to me. Matt Lauer loves himself and himself only and is a huge ass. Is that two things? I as hoping it was just one thing because if it is two things I feel forced to make a list and it will be way longer than just two things. The article says that Matt Lauer can't stand Ann Curry and was not going to work with her anymore. he could say that because ABC was offering him a contract and Matt was getting ready to bolt. Can you imagine if he had? NBC might be in first place and ABC probably would have had to fire Robin Roberts because Matt would feel her cancer was taking away from his airtime.
yay, enty posted the article I sent him :)
ReplyDeleteI have never liked ML. Even back in the Katie Couric days. I've always gotten a douchecanoe vibe from him.
Not trying to sound know it all-y, but I've been trying to tell people this for 2 decades. He is a himbo who should have had those segments called, Where In The World Is Matt Lauer's Pecker, Today?" Another thing no one will accept- Katie Couric is dumb. I mean, really not bright, not in the least inquisitive, and terribly pissy if she has to deal with something she can't understand, as in, even after its been broken down, if anyone seems in the least shocked about it, all hell breaks loose. Bryant Gumbel-smart, handsome, and a jackass with a smartass mouth. Jane Pauley-smart, hard working, classy. Deborah Norville-med.intelligence, super sweet and giving, easy to deal with. And, that's all I know, first hand. :)
DeleteRadar is reporting that he's p*ed at NBC execs & says they set him up with the Sandusky report as revenge for his comments about Ann Curry.
ReplyDeleteVery professional strutting over there at the peacock network.
He looks like he's slowly morphing into Michael Lohan
ReplyDeleteHe does!!
DeleteOHHHHHH!!!
DeleteYou know, youre right!
The title of this made me LOL. It's very succinct. Oh, and seconded.
ReplyDeletecan't stand him never understood how he stayed and the talent left...
ReplyDeleteHaha! He does resemble Michael Lohan.
ReplyDeleteHahahaa! Put him a mesh shirt with a fanny bag-doohickey-thingamabobber and the transformation will be complete!
ReplyDelete@Reese-Don't forget the moose knuckle.
Deletein* In a shirt...
ReplyDeleteThis magazine just arrived in the mail and I read a few lines which basicly reinforces how full of himself Matt is. The today execs created this monster and continue to feed him despite the bad press and bad ratings the show has received. I don't feel bad for Today but I do feel bad for al Roger cause he's the last genuinely nice guy left on that show, he didn't get his job kissing Matt's pale butt.
ReplyDeleteHe was sooo hot back when he was just popping in from time to time, way back in the Jane Pauley age of the Today Show,when rumors were going around that one day he'd join the morning show. Long time ago. Today he's just a douchebag.
ReplyDeleteJane Pauley was badASS! Thanks for reminding me of her Lisa.
DeleteLove douchecanoe, Kaysea. My phone didn't even try to change it!
Yeah, he should dress as Michael Lohan for Halloween. Wouldn't that be hilarious? Oh wait, he doesn't have a sense of humor (or humility)
ReplyDeleteVery interesting article. I can't believe how unprofessional some of the top brass were at NBC. But Ann never stood a chance. Matt never tried to work on their chemistry, made her visibly uncomfortable on camera, and basically undermined her every chance he got.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA I was thinking he looked like douche Lohan too !
ReplyDeleteAnywho, back in the day he was on a show in Rhode Island (I live in Mass and we share a lot of programming in these little states}
He was supposed to be a real asshole to work with and the gil he worked with became an alcoholic and it was always rumored that working with him helped it along . That was the rumor . No clue if it was true or not but to me he always came across as a phony dick head even when he did that little show.
He forgot the basic rule - you're only allowed that kind of diva behavior if you're on the top.
ReplyDeleteWater is wet! Matt should dress as a gigantic douche nozzle for Halloween. It'd be very fitting.
ReplyDeleteI never saw this side of him when he worked with Meredith, and I guess I just have not noticed it on air like so many people comment. Savannah gets on my nerves.
ReplyDeleteI love the title of this article. Matt Lauer Sucks. Thank YOU Enty. I love how Michael K described him as having a baby ostrich head, ouch, but true. It's so disgusting how he's used his cock to make and break his co anchors careers and offer jobs."If you do me real good girly I'll make you a huge stah! that's right, suck that morning anchor d&*^%! "Such a scumbag.
ReplyDeleteWater is wet.
ReplyDeleteA bear shat in the woods.
Fire burns.
Birds sing.
Tell me something new.
Never liked him, never watched-watch him, but i am sure he is a dick. Everything i need to know about him i learned when he said bryant gumbal, who hates women and routinely refers to them by the c word, was his best friend.
ReplyDeleteI seem to be in the minority in that I don't mind Lauer's on-air persona but Ann Curry drove me crazy. Say what you will about Lauer, he does seem interested in intelligent examination of events whereas Curry was all about orchestrating how you, the viewer FEEL about events. I found her milking of emotions sanctimonious, ghoulish and smug. That said, the Today Show continues its downward spiral away from news with ever more pointless info-tainment and that trend has not ended with Curry's departure. She is not, however, the wounded kitten/Lauer's victim that people make her out to be.
ReplyDeleteI'd just like to second that the title of this blog is hilarious .. That is all.

ReplyDeleteMy stomach dropped when I heard that GMA was courting him. I absolutely love GMA and the chemistry with the team there. I can't see where Matt Lauer would fit in. No way in the world would Matt and George share a desk. Let us pray he stays at NBC until they send him off to get plugs and work in a 30 market.
ReplyDelete@pismire
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you! I could not stomach Curry's interviews. She made me gag, and she had no sense of humor. Matt did not really bother me, but he is an ass.
@di butler
I believe Couric is dumb by the way she does interviews, but she did nail Sarah Palin. She will forever be special for that.
I hated Bryant Gumbal. He's Lauer's best friend.
