Where In The World Is Matt Lauer? Ass Over Tea Kettle-That’s Where

People reports that Today show host Matt Lauer had a little run-in this weekend with a deer.  Apparently Matt was riding his Schwinn, I don’t really know that he was riding a Schwinn but it sounds like “schwing” and I always feel that when Matt is around, and hit a deer.

Where in the world was Matt Lauer on Monday? Not on the Today show, due to a weekend incident as he was riding his bicycle, according to his NBC cohort Meredith Vieira.

Lauer encountered a deer while he was on the road, said Vieria, who wasn’t quite clear about whether or not Lauer and the animal smacked into one another. She seemed to doubt it.

Lauer, she informed viewers, “thinks the deer was hired by the competition.” Not true, Vieira insisted. “I hired the deer, but I said, ‘Just graze him.’ “

No real word on his injuries; I’ve been reading that he flipped over the handlebars of his bike.  Here’s hoping that all the king’s horses and all the king’s men can put him back together again.  Oh, dear.
