President Trump wasted no time piling on to his former employers at NBC after the bombshell announcement the network where he once starred on "The Apprentice" had fired its biggest star, Matt Lauer. “Wow, Matt Lauer was just fired from NBC for ‘inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace.’ But when will the top executives at NBC & Comcast be fired for putting out so much Fake News,” Trump tweeted. Lack and Lauer have long been known close personal friends, and pressure on Lack and NBC had been intensifying in recent weeks as word spread that multiple news organizations were reporting exposes on Lauer. Earlier this month, as reporters were closing in, NBC suddenly fired Lauer’s closest producer, Senior Vice President Matt Zimmerman, saying Zimmerman “engaged in inappropriate conduct with more than one woman”. Zimmerman’s firing came as a shock to industry insiders considering his close ties to Lauer who had enormous power at NBC.
