After NBC officially severed ties Monday night with “Today” co-host Billy Bush in the wake of the scandal surrounding a behind-the-scenes “Access Hollywood” tape, “Today’s” Matt Lauer offered a concise sendoff to Bush on the show this morning.
Here it is …
they need to get rid of Matt
I truly believe that Matt’s “people” and insiders at “Today” performed this hatchet job on Billy Bush, who of course did himself no favors by ruffling a few feathers (Lauer’s?).
My best guess is that Matt Lauer is in the process of reupping with NBC for a few more years and needed to remove any potential threats from the show (Willie Geist and Billy Bush?).
A “valued colleague” would not be thrown under the bus.
Well said from one dick to another.
