Must be nice to be Matt Lauer.
Amidst recent reports that the Today show host’s contract is soon up and that is was up in the air if he would stay, it’s been reported that NBC and Matt are closing in on a deal that will pay him an estimated $25 million per year over the course of a multiyear deal, possibly as many as three, but more likely two, according to Newsday.
The deal is slated to be announced soon, but may be announced in May at the Upfronts, a TV industry gathering of execs and media buyers.
