Matt Lauer is not seriously interested in leaving NBC -- unlike his co-host Meredith Vieira -- but he is bucking for a massive raise to $25 million dollars per year.
Sources connected with NBC tell us all the talk about Matt leaving NBC's "Today" is nothing more than a well-timed negotiating ploy.� Remember, the Matt buzz started right after reports surfaced�Meredith will leave in September.
"Today" has been the #1 morning news show for 15 years -- a virtual cash register for the Peacock -- and we're told Matt wants his slice of the pie ... in other words ... $25 mil.
Lauer currently gets by on $17 million per year.�
UPDATE: A rep for NBC says they are "NOT in any negotiations with Matt ... as he is under contract for a long time."
