Far be it from me to question what someone makes but what value does he give in return for his earnings?

I just don't see what his ROI is at all.

Apparently someone else didn't like his ROI either. Hence they axe.

Good for him for getting paid well, that's still the American way, right??

Good on the network for firing his ass if he is not drawing the viewers they need to make $$. That's also the American way, right?

ETA, personally I can't stand the guy, but that does not mean I have an issue with either of the above!

Matt Lauer went to school at Ohio University. My father was a a grad and football star there, built a great business there too but it is a liberal hell hole. I grew up in that town but my father couldn't get me (and the rest of the family) out of there fast enough. I don't watch Matt and I don't watch OU. I do like to watch Dad though and he'll be here shortly for some turkey and fixins!

Thank you Dad for teaching me the real truth. And hey Matt, sorry about your luck.

No fan, but he does have a pretty nice spread with horses, an indoor ring, paddocks, etc out in Montauk. . . he and his wife have several horses. . .land is pretty pricey out there. . .but, yeah, what does that say about our society that it places such a high value on him for doing. . . . . .what exactly?

replacing him won't do anything, their ratings will continue to be shit because they're partisan liberal hacks.

+1 NBC is infested with shit-brained liberals. Getting rid of the worst one will help, but they have other problems.
