Ohio U alum Matt Lauer was abruptly fired from NBC News’ top-rated morning program Wednesday after allegations of sexual misconduct were brought to the network.
“This is a sad morning at TODAY and at NBC News,” Savannah Guthrie said as the TODAY theme music faded out.
At the top of Wednesday morning’s broadcast of TODAY, Guthrie appeared next to Hoda Kotb, not next to Ohio University alum Matt Lauer, who sat next to her just 24 hours prior.
