Matt Lauer will be fired from the Today show if the ratings don’t improve by February!

He earns $25mil a year to co-host the morning show but he’s lost a lot of fans along the way since he’s responsible for the firing of Ann Curry. And the ratings continue to tank so insiders are saying that if they can’t improve by February, Matt will be getting axed.

They do have one last ditch effort to try to save the sinking ship. They are hoping to find a guy co-host that Matt can form a ‘bromance’ with.

But who could you pair with Matt Lauer to take away from the doucheness? Move Al Rocker up from the minor leagues? Nope, he hates him. Ryan Seacrest? Kelsey Grammer? Elisabeth Hasselbeck? Nobody?

Probably. Just cut your losses, Today Show. Or make things really excited and bring in his alleged baby mama Natalie Morales.
