but it does seem -- haven't seen a single denial from nbc saying the idea that he will be replaced at the end of 2014 when his contract expires by jimmy fallon. nobody is knocking it down. that looks like it will happen. >> joe, you did a terrific piece on the matt lauer scandal being billed into media circles. >> you didn't tell anybody -- >> let's look at two front pages. one is a hollywood reporter, almost exactly a year ago when matt signed this $25 million deal to continue "the "today" show" and there he is as the hottest guy in the business. cut forward a year. a picture from the same set, hollywood reporter had, and that tells the story. not a good morning. hard to think of anyone who hasn't been involved in a tiger woods scandal or anything of that nature whose brand has been so apparently damaged in such a short space of time over somebody leaving the show that most experts agreed probably wasn't working on the show.
