Lauer: Isle see ya at the game

DISGRACED “Today” host Matt Lauer — who has kept a low-profile since being fired from the show in 2017 — has seemingly become a fan favorite before Islanders playoff games.

Lauer was at the Islanders’ game Thursday, sources said, and was spotted beforehand with a group dining at Borrelli’s restaurant, a favorite among fans before and after Nassau Coliseum home games.

A source told Page Six that Lauer was at a table with pals including his current girlfriend, and that “people were excited to see him.”

The source said that Lauer was overheard chatting with a waitress about his kids, and that one patron approached the ex-anchor to tell him, “Matt, my wife misses you” on TV. The guy then went to call his wife and tell her about the Lauer sighting.

Our source added: “He was welcomed with open arms” by fans. “He looked good — he seemed in good shape and in good spirits.” Lauer and his group were wearing Islanders gear.

Lauer was reportedly at the same eatery last month with Islanders co-owner Jon Ledecky.

Page Six has reported that Lauer has been dating marketing exec Shamin Abas since 2019. The accused anchor also finalized his divorce from ex-wife Annette Roque the same year, two years after they’d split.

While staying out of the spotlight, the Hamptons fixture was also seen last month at a private Jon Bon Jovi performance for charity in the ritzy area.

Lauer, 63, was axed from “Today” in 2017 after an NBC staffer accused him of having an inappropriate sexual relationship with her. The woman later claimed that Lauer had raped her. He admitted to having a relationship, but claimed it was entirely consensual. A rep for Lauer did not get back to us. Also at the game were “The Bachelor” stars Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell , as well as Jimmy Fallon, Blackstone honcho Steve Schwarzman, “Karate Kid” star Ralph Macchio, and a number of Giants and Jets.
