Well Ryan Seacrest I guess you won’t be taking Matt Lauer’s Today Show spot since he has signed on for a multiyear contract with NBC to stay on Today. Matt will make his formal announcement today but he is staying for the long haul according to NBC News President, Steve Capus. “Matt is the franchise, and our franchise player has decided to keep leading our team.” Today is still # 1 in the ratings but, Good Morning America is coming in close second! Capus also added, “Matt always said he would only continue if he could be all-in. The all-in factor was really key. This is demanding job with a demanding schedule. For him it was a question of lifestyle. As his family is getting older he wants to be able to spend more time with them.”
