Denis Leary wasn’t shocked about the sexual misconduct scandal that cost Matt Lauer his job.
The 60-year-old comedian, appearing on The Talk Friday, said that he ‘thought [Lauer] was a creepy, douchey guy from the get-go,’ and even made arrangements to avoid having on camera interviews with the former Today show host, 59.
‘You know, you get a vibe – and I just got a weird, weaselly vibe from the guy, and I said to my publicist, I said, “I don’t want to be interviewed by him any longer, I want to be interviewed by the girls,”‘ Leary revealed on the CBS panel. ‘Go back and look at the videotape: I stopped being interviewed by him on the Today show about 10 years ago because he was so creepy.’
