Matt Lauer was fired from the “Today” show Wednesday for inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace, but his former co-anchor Katie Couric claimed five years ago he had an “annoying” habit of pinching her butt. Cohen responds, “Wow, I wouldn’t have a problem with that… Katie Couric did not plead the fifth!”Couric co-anchored “Today” from 1991 to 2006 and Lauer joined her at the anchor desk in 1997. Couric returned to co-host with Lauer in January for a brief period when co-anchor Savannah Guthrie went on maternity leave. Lauer was fired after NBC received a “detailed complaint from a colleague” on Monday night about “inappropriate sexual behavior” by Lauer, NBC News Chairman Andy Lack said in a statement. Lack added this was the first complaint they have received in the 20 years Lauer has been at the network.
