Matt Lauer Can't Take What He Dishes Out

We adore Chelsea Handler. And no, not just because she is our very own E! talent, but because C.H. is one mother-effin' funny bitch. You all saw Matt Lauer's sly insult of cohost Meredith Vieira's bod on the Today show, right? "What are cankles and how do you deal with them, Meredith?" was what he asked while setting up a segment on cankles (is there nothing left in the world to discuss on television?).
Well, Chels seems to have picked up where we here at the A.T. left off, regarding glasshouse harpy Matt Lauer.
Need a refresher?
Remember Bonggate? When Matt tried to give Michael Phelps a ridiculously hard time for hitting the reefer, when Lauer himself was supposedly a college-dude who liked to experiment? We love us some Lauer as much as the next Today junkie, but we wish M.L. could lighten up a bit. And no—the cankle joke isn't what we had in mind.
How come Matty can passive-aggressively diss Mer but can't lighten up about himself? So uptight, that one. Matt and his reps refused to get back to us on the whole schoolboy-gone-awry issue, after some old college buds dished to us about his heavy partying. Why not even a joke response, Lauer? Like, "I was a kid, I can't be held accountable for my life back then!" Oh, that's right, you were too busy crucifying Phelps for acting the same way.
Then there are the jabs at poor Meredith, for something she doesn't really have that much of a choice in, i.e., chubby ankles.
We're so with Chelsea on this one. Your disappeared hair- and waist-lines should be very nervous right about now, Mr. L.
