What’s Matt Lauer Up To Now? A Closer Look At His Life After Today

It’s been a while since Matt Lauer was let go from Today and replaced by Hoda Kotb, marking the first all-female anchor team in the show's history. So, what exactly has Matt been up to since his exit? Let’s dive in and find out.

What Happened to Matt Lauer at ‘Today’?

Back in November 2017, Matt Lauer found himself at the center of a major scandal when NBC received a detailed complaint about inappropriate sexual behavior from a colleague. This wasn’t just a minor issue—it was a serious accusation that rocked the network. Following this, more allegations of sexual harassment surfaced from former NBC employees. In the wake of the scandal, Lauer finally broke his silence, issuing a statement to address the situation.

In his statement, Lauer expressed deep regret and sorrow for the pain he had caused others through his actions. “There are no words to express my sorrow and regret for the pain I have caused others by words and actions,” he admitted. “To the people I have hurt, I am truly sorry. As I write this, I realize the depth of the damage and disappointment I have left behind at home and at NBC.”

He continued, acknowledging that some of the allegations were exaggerated or inaccurate, but admitted there was enough truth to leave him feeling embarrassed and ashamed. “Repairing the damage will take a lot of time and soul searching, and I’m committed to beginning that effort. It is now my full-time job,” he said. Lauer also noted how humbling the experience had been, surrounded by loved ones who were patient and gracious during this difficult time.

What’s Matt Lauer Doing Now?

Not long after his departure from Today, Matt was spotted participating in a three-mile paddleboarding race at Hamptons’ Havens Beach in Sag Harbor. People who saw him during this time told In Touch that the once vibrant TV star looked like he’d aged a decade in just a few short months.

“He just looks very, very sad,” one local store employee revealed. “He used to be so friendly and chatty, just like he was on TV. Now he keeps his head down. You can tell he’s not really in the best place.” Another neighbor echoed similar sentiments, noting that Lauer didn’t look like the same person who once graced our screens daily. “He’s skinny… It looks like he’s aged 10 years,” they added.
