This week, "TODAY The Today Show" anchor Matt Lauer was fired from NBC due to reports of sexual harassment in the workplace. Co-anchors Samantha Guthrie and Hoda Kotb reacted live on the show, heartbroken over the situation. However, for anyone who has watched some of Lauer's previous interviews and reported actions on set, the firing is really a surprise to no one.

First, let's take a look at two interviews that have gone viral lately due to Lauer's firing. In 2009, Lauer interviewed acclaimed actress Sandra Bullock. Bullock was promoting The Proposal on the show when Lauer states; "The major thing that’s changed since I’ve seen you last: I have seen you naked." Bullock laughs and responds, "And I’m so sorry about that. Were you able to sleep afterwards?” Then Lauer makes a very creepy joke, saying that her naked pic was now his screensaver.

The second interview is from 2011, where Lauer was interviewing another acclaimed actress, Anne Hathaway. A couple of days before her scheduled interview to promote Les Miserables, Hathaway accidentally flashed photographers when getting out of a car. During the interview, Lauer had this to say; "Good morning. Nice to see you. Seen a lot of you lately." He decides to grill her over this incident, which was clearly an accident, and Hathaway remains professional throughout the interview. Lauer, however, does not.

There have also been multiple allegations in the workplace, however, one thing is for certain; Matt Lauer should have been fired a while ago. These allegations and creepy comments toward women show that Lauer's behavior is unacceptable. The TODAY anchors reacted in shock over the firing- however it was necessary and really not a surprise at all.
