Video shows Matt Lauer walking around in his underwear off-set on Today Show

A 2014 video from “Today” beings with a staffer getting people coffee running into host Matt Lauer in the hallway. He confesses he has to re-press his “designer slacks.” It required him to take them off.

A staffer named “Alex” rushes in with an iron and begins to press the newsman’s pants. Lauer notes he wants to look “as good as that numbnuts Regis Philbin.”

Four of his female staffers then walk through the doors, inadvertently being exposed to Lauer.
“Drink it in ladies!” he says.

“Again Matt?” Co-host Natalie Morales asks.

Jenna Bush Hager decries, “It’s the third time this week!”

...during television shows or theatre, this skit was written into the show itself."

So this is stupid and juvenile, but not the smoking gun proving Lauer's fireable offenses.

Disappointed in those women for participating in such a repulsive "skit". Wonder if they had a choice in the matter.
