In a surprising reunion, former TODAY co-anchors Savannah Guthrie and Matt Lauer were spotted together at a wedding this weekend, marking the first time they have been publicly seen together since his controversial firing from NBC in 2017 amid sexual misconduct allegations.
Lauer and Guthrie, who had hosted TODAY alongside each other for 5 years, reunited at the New York City wedding of a TODAY show producer on Saturday. Photos show Lauer and Guthrie embracing and laughing together, apparently putting aside any lingering hard feelings from Lauer’s messy exit from the morning show over 6 years ago.
Lauer was terminated by NBC after an employee accused him of inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace. An internal investigation uncovered multiple allegations against Lauer dating back years. Guthrie emotionally announced his firing live on air, reading a statement from NBC News leadership.
In the years since, Guthrie has continued co-anchoring TODAY, while Lauer has kept a very low profile, rarely making public appearances. Their cordial reunion this weekend has sparked surprise and speculation over whether former colleagues have reconciled.
Details on how extensively Lauer and Guthrie interacted at the wedding have not emerged. It remains to be seen whether their attendance together signals a return of any kind by Lauer to NBC’s good graces, or simply two TV veterans putting past tensions behind them for a social occasion.
