Matt Lauer gave Tom a standing ovasion when he surprised him with a visit. After his roast, Matt commented on it to Access Hollywood. When asked how he felt about Tom entering the room to approach the microphone, he said:

“It was a great moment. I was really happy to see him. I thought it was an enormously classy move on his part… and he kills, by the way.”
