Matt Lauer Meredith Vieira Awkward Moment On The Today Show

 

On the Today Show this morning, Meredith Vieira bit her tongue a bit when talking to her co-host Matt Lauer during a discussion over upcoming segment about the right age to get married.

After mentioning that she had gotten married in her 30s, Vieira turned to Matt and asked when he had gotten married.  An awkward moment occured considering Lauer’s first marriage ended in divorce and his second wife once filed for divorce before withdrawing the papers.

    MATT LAUER: Then we’re going to talk about marriage. What is the right age to get married?

    MEREDITH VIEIRA: I don’t know. I got married in my 30s.  When did you get married?

    LAUER: Ah . . .

Someone off camera can be heard yelling “nice!”

    VIEIRA: Anyway, I’m sorry.  Oh geez.

    LAUER: The average age — let’s just start this show over. On average in this country women get married at 26, men at 28.  Those are the averages. But how does your age impact your choice of a mate, and your chances for living happily ever after?  Probably a more important question.  We’ll get into that later.

    VIEIRA: I don’t think I’m going to be one of those that lives happily ever after, after this show!

Lauer was a good sport about it, but it would be interesting to hear what is said when the cameras go off.
