Today show staffers are bracing for possible layoffs and are wondering if host, Matt Lauer, will give up any of his $25 million salary to save jobs. A similar situation happened on The Tonight Show where host, Jay Leno, took a paycut to save the jobs of some of his colleagues.
This is just the latest in a string of problems for the morning show which has experienced a constant drop in its ratings over the past few years. The show had seen a ratings increase with its coverage of the 2012 Olympics but are now seeing its ratings drop below that of arch-rival, ABC's Good Morning America.
A source told the New York Post about the possible cuts, “It will be the little people who go first: makeup artists and writers but these people have families and it will put pressure on Matt to do the right thing.”

Today used to be at the top of morning television but, due to some changes with the hosts as well as the show's four-hour-long daily broadcasts, the show is quickly losing its footing in the industry.
