THIS JUST IN: NBC News Pays for Matt Lauer's What?!

THIS JUST IN 2It is no secret that today’s national “morning show” hosts make a very fine living.

Sure, they get benefits of modeling clothes, makeup, and shoes, so it’s not like they are paying for that stuff. Then, they are given a seven- or eight-figure income to look beautiful, act common, and fake sincerity during stories, as in “And our prayers go out to you and yours.”

As if they are genuflecting in mass or mosque for your mom because of a tweet you sent their way.

These facts notwithstanding, the people at NBC News have waaaaaay too much residual money on their hands.
