Meredith Vieira Kicks Matt Lauer In The Groin (VIDEO)

The "Today Show" has posted some behind the scenes footage from their interview with Martha Stewart, and it looks pretty painful. Not awkward painful, but actually painful. Meredith Vieira and Matt Lauer are horsing around before the segment starts when Vieira accidentally (?) kicks Lauer in the groin. While they review the video, Al Roker displays his wordsmith skills: "My goodness, right in the peppercorns!"

Apparently Roker has seen "the peppercorns" in the locker room. I still haven't watched Lauer since he and Couric lambasted anyone opposed to their idol Dubya and his Iraq war.

They should edit in the sound of an old-time cash register. CHING-CHING!

[KarateKid]

I didn't think he had any peppercorns.

[kpo718]

I didn't know Matt Lauer had a groin.

[blukazoo]

I hope he planned to interview a teabagger after that...

[ramal]

Oh, that Mattie, she's a mess. Anything for ratings or free promos. "CLICK."

[namewithheld]

That's the longest I've watched the Today Show since my parents used to have it on when I was a kid.

HuffPo is the closest I ever get to daytime TeeVee.

[quiviran]

Hope she offered to kiss them and make them better.

Yeah, this sure is funny. What a laugh riot.

When it happens to a man, it's funny. When something similar happens to a woman, it's clearly violence against women. That, my friends, is the real joke.

[Michael7843853]

Agreed.

[washlib]

give up the pompous pc bs, it was funny!

[OC4Obama4Pres]

Probably a female, right?

[chayefsky]

Women don't have peppercorns.

[filo]

No Lauers were harmed during the filming off this video.

[SkuddGobang]

And today a whole interview with MacKenzie Phillips and not a single Btchsl@p to be found.

[jazzybo]

What a crock.This was staged.

[oldgeek1]

Fake,

You kick me in the pepercorns, I am down for the count.

[hamchunk]

Yeah, but Matt Lauer is like a Ken doll; hence, no "peppercorns" to inflict damage upon. So, all is well.

[argon66]

Well played Sir!

[AZterritory]

Good job Meredith, but next time try kicking the other side, too, he needs it.

[reggieb]

this video does not contain enough violence
