Matt Lauer to Tom Cruise: No Hard Feelings

Originally posted 05/09/2008 07:00AM

Tom Cruise's recent Oprah Winfrey interview included several new revelations – like admitting that he regrets his infamous argument with Matt Lauer.

Unfortunately, the Today show host tells PEOPLE, he didn't get to watch Winfrey's two-hour Cruise-a-palooza.

"I was traveling," he said on his way into a N.Y.C. dinner celebrating Time magazine's Most Influential People in the World issue on Thursday night. "I didn't see the interview. Somebody told me a little bit."

The gloves will be off on Oct. 24, when Matt Lauer is served up as the luncheon entrée being skewered at the annual Friars Club Roast in New York.

A source tells PEOPLE that both of the Today host's co-anchors – Katie Couric, from Lauer's past, and Meredith Vieira, from his present – have agreed to take turns delivering jabs at him at the event. Fellow Today star Al Roker will serve as the afternoon's roastmaster.

Traditionally, these roasts feature foul language, filthy jokes and merciless ridiculing of all aspects of the guest of "honor" – from his looks to his sex life.

Review: Thumbs Up for Meredith Vieira

Originally posted 09/13/2006 11:35AM

A week after Katie Couric's unsatisfactory debut on The CBS Evening News came Meredith Vieira's first day as coanchor on Today, Couric's old job. We'll see how the ratings go, but viewers should have been happy at the end of Vieira's first two hours. Just as dependably as in her years on The View, she was relaxed, game for anything – the right woman for any job. And I hope this puts to rest all that cruel gossip that the spot more rightly should have been offered to Joy Behar.
