  Matt Lauer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lauer grew up in Connecticut, the son of parents who divorced during his youth; his father was Jewish and his mother Christian.
Lauer pinch-hit for NBC newscasters Scott Simon, Mike Schnieder, and Jack Ford as the co-host of Weekend Today, and for Ann Curry as anchor of the former NBC News program NBC News at Sunrise from 1992 to 1997.
Lauer was rather critical of his own program, since it tended to favor well-known figures over others who had less influence in pop culture.

Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt: Tom Cruise tells "Today" show host Matt Lauer how much he doesn't know about Adderall and Ritalin.
Lauer sparred with Cruise specifically over whether it made sense for Brooke Shields to have sought therapy and taken antidepressants for postpartum depression -- a decision that Cruise had previously criticized.
This is the second time in recent weeks that Cruise has made an issue of the mental state of Shields, who previously termed "irresponsible and dangerous" his comments about her medical treatment for depression.

Evenson was interviewed briefly on air Friday by Lauer, who had nothing to do with the selection and, in fact, saw his could-be clone for the first time on the show (a TV crew did a live shot at his Draper home).
Lauer said they would have "a lot of fun" and be "goofing off" during his visit, which will be aired on Nov. 9.

Lauer was rebuffed by the vice president's wife for equating Washington's troops with the radical Muslim terrorists then clarified his line of questioning.
Lauer: "Let me talk about this idea that a rag-tag group, not well-fed, not well-clothed, completely under-equipped as compared to this great British army and the Hessian could accomplish this.

“Today” host Matt Lauer sat down with the actor and talked about his new love, his new movie, “War of the Worlds,” and the recent firestorm he caused when he commented on Brooke Shield’s use of therapy and drugs to cure her postpartum depression.
Lauer:  We talk about life in a second.  Let's talk about the movie, though.  Okay, “War of the Worlds.”  I mean, I've always been fascinated by this whole concept, the "we are not alone in a big way," concept.  Do you remember your first exposure to it, to the story?
Lauer: This is not just an alien movie.  The story breaks down on a lot of different levels.  And on one of the levels, your character is a father?

 Kay on Today: "It Was Absolutely Prudent to Go to War Against Saddam" (Remarkable New Info)
This morning, it was Matt Lauer's turn to offer, dare I say it, a thoroughly fair performance in his interview of former chief US weapons inspector in Iraq David Kay.
Lauer then quoted from Kay's earlier interview with Tom Brokaw in which Kay had said that "if anyone was abused (by faulty intelligence) it was the President of the US rather than the other way around."
I agree that Kay was amazingly supportive of the Bush administration, but I must respectfully disagree that Lauer was out to get W and that Kay was "taking the wind out of his sails." I sensed a surprisingly supportive tone in the manner in which Matt framed his questions.
