It's still just rumors and reports, but Entertainment Tonight and The Insider say a source tells them Matt has told his bosses at NBC that he will be leaving the show when his contract expires on Dec. 31, 2012.
On Wednesday, the Today show released a statement saying, "There seems to be an awful lot of speculation around news anchors these days, and it's not our practice to comment on any of it. Matt Lauer has a long term contract with NBC News and Today."
So that doesn't solve anything.
