Rumor has it Matt Lauer may have been instrumental in getting Ann Curry booted off the show.

She went from doing bits on The Today Show about cooking zucchini with garlic to suddenly popping up in every war zone, dodging bullets and bombs and drones. I was never a fan of Ms. Curry and found her somewhat pompous and arrogant, but geez - this seems a bit harsh.

Just wondering if Matt has some huge, secret life insurance policy on Ann.

This theory has been presented on The Soup…I think they were only half joking.
