7:31 am
>> good morning, breaking news overnight, matt terminated from nbc news. this is a sad here at "today" and nbc news. just moments ago nbc thus chairman andy lack sent the following note to our organization. dear colleagues, on monday night we received a detailed complaint from a colleague about inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace by matt lauer. it represented after serious review, a clear violation of our company's standards. as a result we've decided to terminate his employment. while it is the first complaint about his behavior in the over 20 years he's been at nbc news, we were also presented with reason to believe this may not have been an isolated incident. for the moment all we can say is that we are heartbroken. i'm heartbroken for matt. he is my dear, dear friend and my partner. and he is beloved by many, many people here. and i'm heartbroken for the brave colleague who came forward to tell her story and any other women who have their own stories to tell. >> i've known matt for 15 years and i've loved him as a friend
7:32 am
and as a colleague and, again, just like you were saying, savannah, it's hard to reconcile what we are hearing with the man who we know who walks in this building every single day. we were both woken up with the news kind of predawn and we're trying to process it and trying to make sense of it and it'll take some time for that. >> there had been rumors for the past few weeks that both "the new york times" and "variety" were looking into that behavior. al roker is till trying to process this news of his friend of 30 years. >> just coming in. matt has been there so long. more on this now from jim rootenburg who broke the story for "the new york times" and our friend larry hackett of "people" magazine and let me begin with you. you put out the tweet early before the "today" show came on the air. what more can you tell us? >> all i can say myself because this news broke at nbc, you know, this morning, the staff is
7:33 am
there had been rumors going around for some time, reporters starting chasing them and clearly it got the attention as it should and have will be questions in all of our -- throughout the industry and other industries how quickly should these allegations have been looked into in the first place, but the move by andy lack was swift and let there be no doubt this is a seismic moment in our culture and in the media. >> as you said and we reported we've known for some time that both "the new york times" and "variety" had been looking into questions and asking questions about it for the last several weeks, but according to nbc's chairman andy lack, the complaint only came in o monday night? >> this must -- all i can conclude from his memo this complaint was so specific and so to them that this he had to make a move and the key line in the memo that he sent to his staff this morning was
7:34 am
quote/unquote we were also presented with reason to belie this may not have been an isolatednt. we can onlyte was more than one and there was a lot of they were presented with against one of their top, top people. >> jim, at this point is "the new york times" prepared to report anything additional on matt lauer based on the questions you all have been asking? >> reporting effort is under way and it will obviously now move even a little bit faster than it already has been. >> larry haqqani, let me bring you in. seismic shock to morning television in it is an incredible shock to morning television just in the full gist closure matt had on the "today" show is a huge thing. there have been stories over the years about matt's private life and want to separate that from whatever these allegations may be in the tabloids for years so that has been discussed with and wrote about it in people and want to point out that nbc news has been under tremendous pressure recently as a result of the
7:35 am
ronan farrow stories regarding harvey weinstein and discussions that nbc passed on the information that farrow had that he brought to them and then went to "the new yorker." i don't know how much but have to imagine that history was also some sort of pressure on nbc. >> larry, charlie rose, cbs, now matt lauer at nbc, the landscape of morning television talk about a seismic change. >> yeah, it's incredible and, you know, one hopes that this is not obviously a representation of how men behave on morning television but an indication and these shows are cultural both mirrors and leaders and they reflect how we behave and i think that is starting to catch up with what's going on in the culture and that nobody is immune and i think we do have a case like this with charlie and matt, huge thing, just the drama of how this happened on television this morning where it's the opening story and clearly hoda and savannah were
7:36 am
absolutely shocked by this is indication of both what the roles of these programs play in our lives, a, and, b, the shock and potency of these and what had to happen. >> we're learning now no one is immune. "the new york times" has been leading the way on this reporting. it is hitting every part of our culture. media, entertainment. politic, journalism. >> i think that other industries will see it as well. i mean i think what i'm a little surprised about but i think we'll see more of is what are we going to hear out of wall street? we're already hearing a lot out of attacks happening even before some of this but what makes it all happen faster is when such a big star, someone of matt lauer's stature, someone of charlie rose's stature, let's not forget bill o'reilly, biggest host on cable news on fox news hastens everything because these are celebrities and it does have a different way of breaking through and changing
7:37 am
things. >> and, jim, as i said you have been leading the way. what do you think sparked this just firestorm all through the culture, more and more people coming forward? >> i think it's -- i think the most important thing that has happened is really came through the harvey weinstein case where, again, the accuser were celebrities. people who americans wake up, tv and see in movies they were making these accusations but i also think there's a generational shift. there's a shift in the reporting ranks. our stories have been written by young women, reporters who say this is absolutely unacceptable. we have to nail niece stories but there's so much in play this co together once in a gigantic way. >> huge, huge story. jim rutenberg and larry hackett, we'll be right back. >> can i just -- i want to -- i was really struck, guys, by today having savannah and hoda

script was sent to me and i just kind of got all lost in trying to figure out who was telling the truth. what was really behind it. i mean there's some weird mythical mystique to it we'll never really know but, yeah, it's odd. >> the mockumentary -- how do you say it. >> mockumentary. >> the way you did it. i felt like i knew the story but i was even after seeing it wondering a little bit more. here's a clip of it right now. >> going to need to come up with more money. >> do i have stupid written across my head? all i have to do is mail letters someplace. i'm not giving them more money. >> these are twomy top operatives. derek needs expense money. shane -- >> call derek and tell him we're calling the whole thing off. >> sweet t. the death threat is off. >> quite a 'stache you got there. >> the mustache was its own character. >> it was, obviously i still haven't lost the turtlenecks
8:34 am
but -- yeah, it was a -- >> you got a chance to meet jeff gillolly. what was it like. >> i went to portland before filming and it was wild, look, i had had spent two months researching the guy and looking him up and listening to his voice in my headphones and there he is sitting across from me so it was a little like in "the twilight zone" and he was wary. the first thing he said why would anybody ever want to make a movie out of this, you know and i just looked at him, the only answer i could get, look, it was just a phenomenal script. it just happens to be your life. >> he wasn't really psyched about theyed at first. >> no, i don't think he -- we didn't raise our glasses and have a cheers to it or anything. i think he was more just kind of feeling like the thing happened in the past and it's, you know, being revisited and so on. >> he did agree to meet with you and sit down. did he help? >> well, he helped me because i play him in the movie from, you know, age 20 to 50 to now. he's 50 years old now and i couldn't find footage of him when he was younger and now.
8:35 am
so he helped me in the sense that i could really look at him and kind of ask him questions about his childhood and how he grew up and just little things i could piece together. actually even seeing him smile was a big thing for me. i couldn't find any footage of him smiling. >> really studied him. >> i did. i was definitely watching him pretty closely. >> and tell us about margot robbie who plays tonya. she -- wow. [ applause ] >> look, i mean all you got to do is just go online, go to youtube, watch some of the real footage of tonya harding doing the lillehammer or any of those things and watch margot in the movie and the parallels are just -- it's uncanny how much she caught the ferocious spirit and just overall kind of spontaneous explosive nature that she had. >> can you skate? >> absolutely not. [ laughter ] no, i'm not one to skate. >> but i hear, you know, you're great in this movie and there's one actor who really admire this
8:36 am
person and they make movies fun for you. >> oh, yeah, well jack nicholson, yeah, jack nicholson is just somebody i always -- probably the guy who would intimidate me the most. i never met him and hope it happens one day. he's always been true to who he was. you know, he never really tried to be anything else. but his own self? that was enough. >> yeah, that was enough. >> it's great having you here. >> thank you, guys. thank you so much. [ applause ] >> if you're watching, meet up with sebastian stan and "i, tonya," hits theaters december 8th. can't thank you enough. really appreciate it. coming up next from "star wars," "the last jedi," john boyega is here. we'll be right back.
