NBC Flack's Crazy Spin: We're Not Even Thinking About Getting Rid of Matt Lauer!

There's been so many We're Getting Rid of Matt Lauer stories they felt the need to add "balance" to the truth by offering some lies.

A top NBC executive says the network is not considering replacing Matt Lauer as co-anchor of the “Today” show.
NBC News executive Alexandra Wallace, who oversees the troubled morning show, made the comment Wednesday in response to reports that the network had approached CNN’s Anderson Cooper about the “Today” job.

The report first appeared in Deadline Hollywood and was confirmed to The Associated Press by a source who spoke on condition of anonymity because the discussions were private.

Ms. Wallace said Mr. Lauer is “the best in the business” and that NBC wants him on “Today” for many years to come.

"I absolutely, unequivocally guarantee that no harm
will come to Matt Lauer by my hand.
That said, accidents do happen.
I understand he does a lot of boating.
Tricky things, boats. All those ropes and counterweights...
Basically a gallows floating in the unforgiving sea.
Plus, all that gas. Frankly, we may never know what happened.
Uh, wait, I mean: I hope he remembers to turn off the gas lines."
