NBC's 'Today' Show Ratings Have Increased Since Matt Lauer's Firing

NBC’s “Today” show seems to be better off without Matt Lauer. 

According to a recent report from Variety, viewers are “flocking” to the morning show since Lauer’s sudden departure in November after multiple women accused the veteran journalist of sexual misconduct. “Today” beat out rival ABC’s “Good Morning America” in the ratings two weeks in a row ― the first two-week winning streak for “Today” since December 2016.
