Matt Lauer and NBC can't be very happy about New York magazine's in-depth account of the backstage in-fighting that led to Ann Curry's ouster from the "Today" show last year.
"If Matt Lauer doesn’t want to be seen with sharp knives, it’s because last summer his co-host Ann Curry was discovered with one in her back," Joe Hagan wrote of the "Today" show's hosting drama, reporting that Lauer wanted Curry to leave and had threatened to move to ABC as a negotiating tactic.
