Page Six has learned that, as part of his $20 million per year deal with NBC, “Today Show” co-host Matt Lauer receives all-expenses paid helicopter rides to work every day.
A source told Page Six, “NBC News chiefs want to do everything to keep Matt happy. They believe ‘Today’ has turned a corner and he is the key to its continuing success. They agreed to pay for his helicopter flights to the Hamptons and back, so he can spend more time with his family.”
Lauer and his family live out in Water Mill, New York, about 94 miles from his NBC Studios workplace.
