Old Katie Couric Interview Reveals Lauer Has ALWAYS Been A Perv

As you probably already know, Matt Lauer was fired today. It’s kind of a big deal.

Anyway… I love how people are pretending that we haven’t always known that Matt Laurer sucks.

Katie Couric was asked to reveal the most annoying thing about working with Lauer.

This, of course, was before pinching a woman’s a$$ was basically punishable by death, but pretty rude and inappropriate either way, if she wasn’t a fan of it.

According to TMZ:

Katie Couric straight-up said Matt Lauer pinched her on the ass a lot during their 9-year run on the “Today” show.

Katie appeared on Andy Cohen’s “Watch What Happens Live” back in 2012, and during a segment — Plead the Fifth — Andy asked about Matt’s most annoying habit.

What’s interesting … Katie’s answer came and went … it was hardly picked up by the media. It’s interesting … NBC said no one has complained until this week, yet their longtime co-anchor talked about ass-pinching in 2012 and NBC apparently didn’t bat an eye.

As we reported … Matt was fired for “inappropriate sexual behavior” in a stunning announcement Wednesday. We’re told the investigation has been going on for weeks and the New York Times and other media outlets were working on a story about Lauer.

Lovely.

So… was Katie legitimately annoyed? Or was it “all in good fun?”
