‘Today’ Anchors ‘Speechless’ After Rob Ford Interview

Matt Lauer interviewed Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, after which the rest of the on-air crew didn’t quite know how to react.

In a sit down interview that could make almost any viewer raise a brow, Matt Lauer hammered Mayor Ford, calling the leader out on his use of “semantics” to dodge questions about his alleged and admitted past drug use.

“No, I’m not [a crack addict],” Ford told Lauer while seated next to his brother and legal counsel Doug Ford. “They said, ‘Do you use crack cocaine?’ No! Have I tried crack cocaine?…”

Lauer interjected, “That’s a game of semantics.”

…When the opening seg ended, Savannah Guthrie said from the “Today” anchor desk with her colleagues, “We’re all speechless.” Lauer mentioned that his quick trip up north to Canada for the sit down led to some notable interactions with state employees.
