NBC Is Pretty Much Firing Matt Lauer’s Friends From The ‘Today’ Show
Page Six is reporting that NBC is basically getting rid of all talent that’s been associated by Matt Lauer in the wake of his departure, including producer and contributors, possibly Giada De Laurentiis.
NBC stated that Don Nash, “has decided to step away from his executive producer role at ‘Today’ ” after nearly 30 years at the show.
An NBC insider told Page Six, “Don is one of the nicest guys in the business, but he was part of ‘Matt’s club’ headed by [former ‘Today’ EP] Jim Bell. They deny covering up for Matt, but they certainly catered to him, and they are very much entrenched in Lauer’s legacy.”
Don had insisted he had no idea about Matt’s alleged “sexual misconduct in the workplace.” He previously told Page Six in a statement, “Never once has any woman or man complained to me about Matt Lauer. If they had, I would have gone straight to HR.”
