Matt Lauer is a creepy perv and always has been.
Earlier today I wrote about an old interview where Katie Couric said the most annoying thing about Lauer was that he always pinched her butt.
Now this old video has been uncovered, and …eww.
What a freaking creep. His face when he says it makes me want to throat punch him.
This all went down in October 2006, and it’s a little bizarre how it got out to the public. The show had gone to commercial, but in at least one city, the local affiliate stayed on NBC’s in-studio feed. Matt was seen sitting on the couch as Katie got mic’d up.
As she leaned over in front of him to grab scripts, you clearly hear Lauer say, “Pretty sweater. Keep bending over like that. It’s a nice view.”
Here’s the thing … NBC says the employee who came forward on Monday was the first complainant ever against Lauer at the network.
However, this video makes it clear everyone in the control room — including the executive producer — could have heard Lauer’s leering behavior toward Katie.
But did someone COMPLAIN? NBC could still be telling the truth… maybe no one ever officially “complained” about him being a huge creep… he just was.
