"As a general rule, if you're giving someone a dildo at work, you're the dildo at work," the host said, referring to an accusation that Lauer gifted a female coworker with a sex toy and told her how he wanted to use it.

Another detail that became the perfect setup for Meyers was that Lauer often played the game "Fuck, Marry, Kill" with female producers as a way to quiz them on who they'd slept with. "I don't know who you said you'd marry in those conversations," said Meyers, "but I know that you killed your career, and you fucked yourself." Watch the clip, below.
