Terminated Contract With NBC
Lauer was living his best professional life while working for the Today Show. He was administering live interviews, bouncing off of the crowds, and showcasing his naturally balding head with a happy-go-lucky way about him. But everything he had worked so hard to build came crashing down on November 29, 2017.
NBC issued an official statement confirming that they had fired the newsman from his position due to a statement submitted by a female coworker. Despite being the first complaint Lauer had ever gotten after working at NBC for more than twenty years, it couldn’t be overlooked.
