Tom Cruise Makes Peace With Matt Lauer

Tom Cruise wants us to know he has a sense of humor, y'all!

On Friday, the former A-lister was one of the many celebs and newsy types who roasted Today show anchor Matt Lauer at the Friar's Club in New York.

Looks like he wants us to see that he's over the screwing he got in the media back in '05 after calling Lauer 'glib' in an interview!

Tom started his shtick by blaming Matt for his infamous Oprah appearance:
“Matt gave me some advice: ‘When people come on my show, I don’t want them talking about their dopey movie. Tom, don’t be glib. You are in love. Talk about (Katie). People will love you for it.’”

And then Cruise closed by saying, “Lose my number you glib putz.”

Lauer reportedly embraced Tommy after his roast and asked, “Hey, can you stay? Can someone find Tom a booster seat.”

Ba-dum-bum.

We bet he couldn't wait to use that one!

The master of ceremonies, Today show weather man Al Roker, also got into it.

He said Cruise couldn’t stay because his spaceship was waiting outside.

Duh!

Tom supposedly wrote his own material and delivered the roast note-free.

He's an actor. He's expected to memorize lines!!!

But, kudos to him for not being such a prick anymore!

      Tom has lightened up. But I don't see why. He has strong opinions, so effing what? He should just stand by them and screw the rest of the bigots in and out of Hollywood that can't handle anything a little different. Glad to see he can poke fun at himself, though.

      *******
      Earth to Tom, your comments on the Roast are supposed to be funny!!!
      I guess aliens don't have a sense of humor!
      *******

      Let me correct that; brainwashed dupes don't have a sense of humor!
      *******
      FREE KATIE

      I'm not buying it. Tommy's only trying to do damage control because his career is in the crapper and he can't stand it that people are more interested in his robo-wife than they are in him. Tommy never does anything that doesn't have some benefit for him in it. Nope, he's not forgiven Matt and he never will.



    14. 14

      It's too late for Tom to save his image. He's already labeled a kook along with his weirdo wife. I can't wait for their child to rebel against them. It's going to be beautiful.

      Putz? The hell? He's not even Jewish, but now he speaks Yiddish? This man is severely and undeniably emotionally and mentally challenged.

      Sorry Cupcake. There's NOTHING bigoted about this at all. It's not Tom's OPINIONS, it's he idiotic BEHAVIOR that causes him to screw himself. An opinion is great, and he can believe whatever the hell he wants, but his actions make him look moronic beyond words. And sorry to say, but not really, lol - this roast didn't help his image at all.

      thats the worst pic of tom cruise….I mean look, he has bangs!! lol lol lol thats so gay.



    19. 19

      I was over Tom a long, long time ago. Ever since he had an affair with Penelope Cruz and divorced Nicole, he seems to have gone very much downhill. And then with the whole "I'm crazy in love with Katie" crap, that spectacle of a wedding, then the Matt Lauer/Oprah stuff, it's been quite a carnival ride and sometimes very hard to watch at that. This is just a sad attempt at restoring public image for his declining career, just like that big ol' Oprah lovefest several months ago! Sad.



    20. 20

      Did it ever occur to anyone that maybe he showed up at the roast because he's desparate to promote his bad buzzed upcoming movie? The today show is a highly rated program, so he needs to kiss some serious ass to dig himself out of his hole!!



    21. 21

      Ugh, what a boring pathetic desperate man Tom Cruise has become. I couldn't even be bothered to read until the end.



    22. 22

      Tom has become the putz. I cannot ever watch any of Tom's movies again. What a Psycho Nutjob. Yes, we have freedom of religion, but I want freedom FROM religion…..
