Disgraced former ‘Today’ host Matt Lauer is reportedly struggling with feelings of bitterness and pain as he watches his former NBC colleagues fronting the Paris Olympics. According to sources, the 66-year-old, who was ousted from NBC following sexual misconduct allegations in 2017, found it “gut-wrenching” to see his ex-colleagues shining on the global stage.

Sources Reveal Lauer’s Agony
- Emotional Struggle: An insider close to Lauer shared that he was “glued to his TV,” watching the coverage, which left him feeling increasingly embittered. The source stated, “It was extremely unpleasant to see his former colleagues jostling for positions in Paris.”
- Past Involvement: Lauer had been a prominent figure in NBC’s coverage of the Olympics, co-hosting the opening ceremonies of several summer and winter Games. His deep investment in the event made it particularly difficult for him to watch from the sidelines.
- Personal Turmoil: Lauer’s distress was further compounded by seeing Hoda Kotb, a former friend who distanced herself from him following the scandal, headlining the event. The source commented, “It burned him even more that she got to go to Paris and cover the Olympics.”
