Quote of the Day

Matt Lauer’s a fairly well-liked guy according to an informal poll I just made up in my head. But apparently he thinks his part in Land of the Lost, coming out today, is going to result in him being berated many times in the future. One can only hope.

Following his cameo with Will Ferrell in the new movie “Land of the Lost,” NBC’s Matt Lauer had better get used to being part of a new catchphrase.

“For the past 10 years I have walked down the street to a chorus of `Where in the world is Matt Lauer?”‘ he said, “and I’m thoroughly convinced that starting June 5 that will change to `Matt Lauer can suck it.”‘

Lauer’s role in the movie isn’t a stretch. He plays Matt Lauer, “Today” show host, interviewing Ferrell’s character, scientist Rick Marshall, who wrote a book about his theories on time travel.

It doesn’t go well. Marshall rips off his microphone and stomps off the set when Lauer asks for a response to physicist Stephen Hawking’s characterization of the theories as “nonsense.”
