CNN boss Jeff Zucker was forced to deny rumors that he is bringing Matt Lauer into the cable news network after the disgraced former host of NBC’s “Today” was seen at Zucker’s Manhattan birthday party last month, according to reports.

Speaking at a regular town hall meeting on Wednesday, May 8, Zucker told employees on an internal broadcast that “there is absolutely no truth at all in the reports that Matt is coming to CNN,” an insider told Page Six.
