When Matt Lauer was fired from the “Today” show following accusations of sexual misconduct, there were expectations that he would retire entirely, retreating to his Hamptons estate where he could presumably work on repairing his long-strained marriage and his possible defense should his alleged improprieties lead to legal trouble.

But, no, Lauer apparently can’t let go of the show that he ruled for more than 20 years as co-host. He has been shooting off notes to producers, giving unsolicited feedback on episodes, Page Six has reported.

That includes sending a producer an email saying he felt they had used the wrong music to kick off a segment.

For the most part, such feedback hasn’t been welcomed by recipients. An NBC spokesperson declined to comment to Page Six on reports of Lauer’s continued involvement with the show.

This attempted interference may not be surprising, given that Lauer was said to wield a great deal of power over the presentation of editorial content at the “Today” show.

And yet, at the time of his dismissal, Lauer’s representatives tried to put forth the message that he would be retreating fully from public life, laying low at his Hamptons estate, playing golf and spending time with his three children.

NBC, meanwhile, made moves to “erase” all memory of Lauer from 30 Rock by demolishing his office, ripping off his name plate from the building and destroying all pictures from various spaces, Page Six reported in December.

Lauer’s reported attempt to still have a say in how episodes are executed may be one reason that people at the network were reportedly annoyed by Hoda Kotb’s revelation to E! News that Lauer was among the first to text her and offer his congratulations after she was officially appointed to replace him as the new host.

“He was sweet this morning,” Kotb said. “Certain texts popped up, and there was one from Matt: ‘Congratulations!’ He said some nice words.”

Kotb was immediately drafted to join Guthrie at the anchor desk the morning that Lauer’s firing was announced on air. And she served in an unofficial capacity until she was named as his replacement this week.

In Kotb’s role — for which she’s reportedly being paid as little as a quarter of Lauer’s $20 to $25 million salary — she’ll co-anchor with Guthrie during the show’s first two hours and continue to host alongside Kathie Lee Gifford during the fourth hour.
