Matt Lauer, an anchor of "Today" for two decades, was fired by NBC
News after a detailed complaint about inappropriate sexual behavior
in the workplace that took place during the 2014 Sochi Olympics.

The accusation also noted that the alleged behavior continued after
the games, NBC News confirmed.

In a memo to employees sent Wednesday morning, NBC News Chairman
Andrew Lack said the complaint, which was made by a female colleague
of Lauer's, prompted a serious review and represented a "clear
violation of our company's standards."

Lack said it was the first complaint lodged against Lauer, 59, for
his behavior since he took over as anchor of the show in 1997, but
there was "reason to believe" it may not have been an isolated
incident.
