The source breathlessly explains that Lauer's heart hasn't been in the job since the show brought on Megyn Kelly, in September, who Lauer thinks in "entitled."

He also has been wanting to spend more time with his kids, the source said, predicting Today would be sorry about what they had done!

"Matt is going to do a lot of damage to the show when he leaves because no one is being groomed to take over his job," the source said.

BuzzFeed News reached out to InTouch for comment.
