‘I’d rather look at Bob Costas’ infected eyes’: Matt Lauer to sub at Olympics

Things just went from bad to worse: Bob Costas pulled from @NBCOlympics coverage & we get Lauer instead: http://t.co/R1f3uixK1V

@CatsPolitics @NBCOlympics Once douche leads to another.

Who do we get if Matt Lauer gets pink eye? Fallon??? #Sochi2014

Oh, wow, Matt Lauer now filling in for Bob Costas — great, because Matt Lauer is so much less annoying. <eye-roll> #Olympics

Just when I was taking a deep breath, relieved for a few hours without seeing Bob Costas' terrifying eye, Matt Lauer's mustache shows up.

Supposedly, Matt Lauer is filling in for Costas today. If it was hard to watch before, consider it impossible now.

I'd rather have Bob Costas broadcast the #SochiOlympics blindfolded than watch Matt Lauer.

I'd rather look at Bob Costas' infected eyes than listen to Matt Lauer.

Anyone else suspect Matt Lauer swapped Bob Costas' contact solution with moose urine for this exact opportunity? #Olympics2014

So, which is worse, Bob Costas looking like he is shooting lasers from his eyes, or Matt Lauer? #hoorayforCBCOlympics !

Bob Costas is riding the bench tonight. Eye infection spread. I think Matt Lauer farted on his pillow so he could take over the spotlight.

I hope Bob Costas gets better asap. Matt Lauer's head does not need to get any bigger. Wish they had picked someone else #putmeincoach

Dear Bob Costas, hurry up & fix your eyes, b/c nobody wants to be stuck with Matt Lauer for the duration. http://t.co/ujwafItoUS #Sochi2014

hmmmm Bob Costas with pink eye in two eyes or Matt Lauer…..? I might not watch the games tonight….

Bob Costas will miss a night of Olympic coverage due to his eye infection. Matt Lauer will fill in. Well played, Mr. Putin. Well played.
