Guess we spoke too soon: Add Lauer and that Obama guy to NBC Super Bowl pregame

Where in the heck is Matt Lauer ? He of NBC News department, which is not exclusive to "Today" show duties has orchestrated a sit-down, hows-things-goin' chat with President Barack Obama that will air live during the network's Super Bowl pregame show. At what point, it's not clear. The NBC pregame starts at 9 a.m. Sunday, leading up to the 3 p.m.-ish opening kickoff from Tampa, Fla.

Meaning, the NBC pregame show grows by the hour.

Whatever doesn't get on the air with Lauer-Obama will continue on the "Today" show Monday, Feb. 2. It's being touted as President Obama's first TV interview from the White House since his inauguration. That's because ABC's Robin Roberts (the former ESPN "SportsCenter" anchor) caught him for a few minutes at one of the inaugural balls backstage for an interview the night he was sworn in.

Whatever Lauer decides to get into, it has to be more compelling than Chris Berman doing his Obama-McCain taped tapdance thing on election night last November.
