Matt Lauer may be stepping down as host of NBC’s Today<\/em> show \u2013 and none other than Ryan Seacrest<\/a> might be in talks to take his place, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Seacrest’s contract with E! News<\/em> expires early next year and Lauer, 53, has said that he plans to leave the Today<\/em> show when his contract expires at the end of 2012. Both programs are owned by NBCUniversal. <\/p>\n

There is speculation that Seacrest, 36, might make frequent guest appearances on Today<\/em> next year, even possibly as a co-host, reports the New York Times<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
