Did Savannah Guthrie give Matt Lauer the finger on Friday’s “Today Show”?

During a segment on vacuum cleaners outside at Rockefeller Plaza, Lauer cracked a joke about it being the first time Guthrie had ever vacuumed.

Guthrie then turned around and made a gesture in Lauer’s direction that certainly looked like she was flipping him off.

“Folks!! That was my INDEX finger!” tweeted Guthrie after the incident, providing some less-than-conclusive photo evidence.

Either way, Lauer didn’t seem too bothered.

He jokingly tweeted Guthrie a picture that showed him “storming out of the office after your middle finger salute” (see below).

Anderson Cooper is being eyed as a possible replacement for Matt Lauer as “Today Show” host, according to multiple reports.

The CNN anchor, whose own daytime talk show is ending this year, has reportedly been approached by NBC to discuss potentially taking over for Lauer, although the exact timetable and specifics have not been made clear.

It should be emphasized that Cooper has NOT agreed to any “Today Show” deal, nor has Lauer’s exit been confirmed.

Lauer is under contract through 2014, although it’s possible he could depart before it expires.

Cooper’s CNN contract ends next fall.

Adding to the intrigue is a Deadline report claiming Lauer was upset about the network’s actions and called Cooper to express his disapproval.

However, that version of events is being called into question by sources at NBC, who say Lauer is on board with the possible Cooper succession plan and plans to meet with his fellow newsman to discuss it.

Stay tuned.
