The Today Show needs Lauer. It has taken ratings hits over the years and has suffered with instability in in the show’s co-host seat. Since Katie Couric left there has been a round robin of sorts in the female’s position on The Today Show which saw Meredith Vieira and Ann Curry both depart and current co-host Savannah Guthrie is due to soon depart temporarily for maternity leave.
