Lauer became co-host of The Today Show, replacing longtime host Bryant Gumbel in early 1997, not long before his father's death.^[4]

Lauer's father was of Romanian Jewish heritage, as seen on the Today Show's Finding Our Roots.^[5] Lauer said, "My dad was Jewish. My mom is not. So I was not raised anything. I do feel a desire now to find something spiritual. Getting married and wanting to have kids has something to do with that."^[4][6]
