I bet reporting on all these sexual abuse scandals has had Matt Lauer biting his nails.

Matt Lauer has been on my list for a while. It’s really too bad more Americans don’t come to my shows. I pretty much recite the list in every show. Haha. I told you, my memory is long, my friends. I’ve been around a long time…

Literally no one is surprised by Matt Lauer, right? His hairline has been trying to distance itself from his crimes for the better part of 2 decades

Matt Lauer feels like a weird choice as the villain in the new Avengers movie.

Careful, now. While we all focus on Matt Lauer & Trump insinuating that another tv host is a murderer, the GOP Congress is gonna keep trying to ruin the economy Kansas-style

Better late than never, but NBC's "zero tolerance" started this morning. Years and years of letting Trump put his hands all over your network while he put hands all over women? Where was your zero tolerance then?

Text to President from Matt Lauer last night: “Hey bud, remember when I treated Hillary like shit on national TV? WELL IM CALLING IN MY FAVOR. You mind accusing someone of murder and retweeting islamophobic shit tomorrow morning? Anything to distract people would help! Xo”

I’m waiting for someone to drop the bomb on Al Roker, I mean he’s creepier than Matt Lauer.

Hi kids. AnyWhoooooo it’s actually way bigger than Matt Lauer. Hey, @jfb, remember at the dinner party when you said NBC wouldn’t consider a woman to host Meet the Press? I suggested Maddow and you, how shall I say, LOST IT, a little? XXOO, KG
— Kathy Griffin (@kathygriffin) November 29, 2017
THIS IS WILD YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS!
– Imagine a famous man.
– Now imagine him getting exposed for being a sexual harasser.
– Wait 3 seconds.
– Did you just say "Eh, it makes sense."???
WEIRD!!! PASS IT ON!— Sara Schaefer (@saraschaefer1) November 29, 2017
People who make careers out of being perfect, completely woke angels are asking for a fall from grace. You gotta make a career out of being a literal piece of trash. That way, people are just impressed with you for not stealing from orphans.
