Matt Lauer Fired? Today Show Co-Host Gets Backlash on Twitter After Replacements Rumors Surface

TODAY show co-host has been getting some backlash for the firing of Ann Curry, with rumors circulating that his job is on the chopping block.

"It's just desserts. Matt is finally getting what he deserves!" a Studio 1-A set insider told The ENQUIRER. "His years-long feuds with former co-hosts Katie Couric, Meredith Vie­ira and Ann Curry have taken their toll. Everyone has turned against him, and Matt is going to be ousted because he's being blamed for the show's collapse."

Yesterday, Lauer and his co-host hosted the 86th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and while the focus was on the floats and bands, Lauer was heavily criticized on Twitter for his reporting.

Here's what was said about Lauer as the parade went on:

"Today I am thankful for Matt Lauer having to explain Pikachu's magical cheek powers to everyone in America."

"My hell: Watching the Thanksgiving Day parade, listening to MattLaurer feign interest. #IHateAParade"

"This Thanksgiving I am thankful for Matt Laurer leaving The Today Show. I might actually be able to tune in in the mornings."

"Matt Laurer ruined Thanksgiving with his lies so badly that only Ernest could save this holiday. #muppets"

"I love it when Matt Laurer explains Pokemon. Its like if you don't know what pokemon is by now, dont try to understand pop culture" -my bro"

Matt Laurer has had 10 years to pronounce Pokemon correctly.#GetWithTheTimes

Hey Matt Laurer! My kid shouts it's Pokemon not Pokeman! #MacysParade

Matt Laurer needs to spend less time plotting to get rid of co-anchors like Ann Curry,& more time learning how to read the teleprompter.LOL"
