Alright, let's dive into this. It’s been nearly a year since Matt Lauer was let go from the "Today" show after some pretty serious sexual misconduct allegations came to light. To get some insight into whether or not he might have a shot at making a comeback, Us Weekly reached out to his former co-worker, Megyn Kelly. Now, this situation is a bit of a rollercoaster, so let's break it down.
Megyn didn’t exactly spill the beans when asked about Matt's potential return to the spotlight. But she did drop one heck of a teaser. "I know too much that others don’t know," she remarked. That’s definitely got people talking. It's almost like she's holding onto some big secret that could change the entire narrative. But what exactly is that? We’ll have to wait and see.

The Inside Scoop on Matt Lauer's Departure
Not long after Matt was let go from the morning show, Megyn sat down with a former "Today" production assistant named Addie Zinone on her show, "Megyn Kelly Today." They discussed a sexual relationship that Addie had with Matt when she was just 24 years old. When Us Weekly asked Megyn if she's had any contact with Matt since that controversial public interview, her response was pretty straightforward: "not at all." It’s like they’re on completely different planets right now.
Megyn also made it crystal clear where she stands on the #MeToo movement. "I feel very strongly about the #MeToo coverage, the importance of doing it without fear or favor," she said. "I didn’t let anyone stop me at Fox, and I’m not going to let anyone stop me at NBC." You’ve got to give it to her—she’s sticking to her principles, no matter what.
Behind-the-Scenes Drama Between Matt and Megyn
As it turns out, Matt and Megyn weren’t exactly best buddies before Matt was let go. When Matt appeared on "Megyn Kelly Today" in early November to share his recipe for spaghetti carbonara, he seemed like the perfect guest. He charmed Megyn’s audience by jokingly asking if she could separate eggs and even high-fived her at the end. But according to In Touch, there was more to the story behind the scenes.
Apparently, Matt wasn’t all that thrilled with Megyn’s talk show. Sources say that the 60-year-old had been making fun of her show since she started at NBC in September 2017. In late October 2017, Matt was reportedly overheard saying, “I get it,” after being told that some celebrities had been advised to avoid her show. But when word of that comment reached NBC’s top brass, Matt was called in for a meeting.

“He was told it was time to get on board with Megyn’s show or he could find another place to work,” an insider told In Touch. But Matt wasn’t about to back down. “He said if someone overheard his comments, oh well,” the insider revealed. Matt thought he was untouchable. “There is no heir apparent to take over for him, or even someone being groomed for his position for down the road,” the source added. Little did he know, his time at NBC was about to come to an abrupt end due to “inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace.”
The Root of the Conflict
Though Matt butted heads with his bosses, his real frustration seemed to be with Megyn. The two media powerhouses had clashed ever since Megyn joined the network. Matt felt it wasn’t his fault. “He tried to welcome Megyn with open arms,” the insider confessed. “He genuinely tried to give her advice about how to succeed in morning television, but she wasn’t interested in hearing it. He’s had enough.” Apparently, "Today" had had enough of him, not Megyn.
