Remember When Matt Lauer Grilled Bill O’Reilly: ‘You Don’t Let Your #1 Guy Go Unless…’ (Mediaite)

NBC News fired Matt Lauer from The Today Show this morning for inappropriate sexual behavior, according to a statement by NBC News Chairman Andy Lack.

Just two months ago Lauer scored a big interview with Bill O’Reillywho had been let go from Fox News earlier this year. Unlike Lauer, O’Reilly’s ouster was not accompanied by a statement from the network accusing him of sexual impropriety, although many stories of settlements and pay-offs accompanied the news.

Lauer grilled O’Reilly with a sharp line of questioning over the issue. Take a look at the interview and keep in mind that while he is pressing O’Reilly over his alleged behavior, Lauer knew very well the behavior he had been involved with at NBC News.
