It’s been well over a year since Matt Lauer last graced our TV screens, and according to a close friend, it might be a while before we see him back in the spotlight. The former Today show co-host, now 61, has been keeping a low profile as he navigates life after one of the biggest scandals in television history. Let’s dive into what’s been happening behind the scenes for this once-celebrated anchor.

Here's the scoop: “There’s absolutely no way he’s even thinking about returning to work,” a confidant of Lauer told Page Six. “How could he? He knows there’s no TV role for him now. To be honest, it’s the last thing on his mind.” Instead, Matt has reportedly been spending his time in the serene Hamptons, focusing on what truly matters—his family. Life has changed dramatically for the former host, but he seems to be finding peace amidst the chaos.

Life After the Fall: Matt Lauer's Journey Since the Scandal

It all started with the bombshell: Matt Lauer was accused of sexually harassing a colleague, and as more details emerged, it became clear this wasn’t an isolated incident. The fallout was swift and severe. His co-host at the time, Savannah Guthrie, delivered the news live on-air, visibly shocked and upset. Lauer was unceremoniously let go after more than two decades at NBC News—a place where he once reigned supreme. This was a seismic shift not just for him but for everyone involved.

“This is a sad morning for us at Today show and at NBC News,” Savannah said during the announcement. “Just moments ago, NBC chairman Andy Lack sent the following note to our organization: ‘On Monday night, we received a detailed complaint from a colleague about inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace by Matt Lauer. It represented, after serious review, a clear violation of our company’s standards. As a result, we’ve decided to terminate his employment. While it is the first complaint about his behavior in the over twenty years he’s been at NBC News, we were also presented with reason to believe this may not have been an isolated incident.’”
