Person noticeably missing was matt lauer, the net works most visible personality now bogged down in a scandal. Lauer had been fired from nbc, no longer the face of the today show as he was for more than 20 years. This after a current employee came forward monday night with a complaint of inappropriate sexual behavior. According to the New York Times lauer summoned a coworker to his office and had sex with her. Variety magazine reporting lauer once gave a colleague a sex toy with an explicit note. And another said he exposed himself to a female coworker and reprimanded her for not engaging in a sex act. Its devastating for millions around the country who admire lauer and for the people who sit next to him every morning. Its hard to reconcile what we are hearing with the man who we know. From my perspective it could go either way. I just need more evidence and more information. Reporter now, nbc has not independently confirmed the reporting of both the New York Times and variety magazine. Again, still trying to make confirmations on those claims. Meanwhi meanwhile, it was not aware of any complaints before of course monday when that employee stepped forward. So certainly still a big day and a devastating loss here for the today show family. For now were live here in midtown manhattan. Nbc 10 news. Nbc has not independently confirmed the reporting.
