Today Hosts Call Out Matt Lauer’s ‘One Percent’ Lifestyle

While discussing NASA’s effort to build a new supersonic passenger jet to replace the Concord, on Tuesday’s NBC Today, co-hosts Carson Daly and Savannah Guthrie accidentally outed fellow co-host Matt Lauer’s posh lifestyle.

After mentioning the new jet being developed, Lauer reminded viewers: “Remember, the last supersonic jet, the Concord, retired back in 2003, grounded after complaints over sky-high costs and those loud takeoffs and landings.” Daly asked: “Did you ever fly the Concord?” Guthrie chimed in: “You did, right?” Lauer confirmed: “I did, on several [occasions].”
