Tom Cruise made a surprise appearance on Friday, October 24th, at Matt Lauer’s Friar’s Club Roast in New York. If you’ll remember, three years ago Tom called Matt “glib” during a Today Show interview when they were discussing anti-depressants.
(The picture above is of Tom Cruise leaving the roast for Matt Lauer on Friday, October 24th.)
Tom was introduced on Friday after a special taping from Ryan Seacrest was shown. He walked out and gave Matt a hug and said that him and Matt were actually good friends who even vacation together. He then showed funny and obviously fake pictures of him and Matt sitting in inner tubes in a pool enjoying some drinks and another shot of them sharing a jet ski. (Man, I wish I could see those pictures!)

Tom went on to point point out his and Matt’s career differences saying, “[I go from] international movies sets to amazing parties to international movies set to amazing parties, never knowing what’s going to happen next. You have found happiness doing the same thing every day. You sit on a couch all day and interview the car from ‘Knight Rider.’ Lose my number, you glib putz,” Cruise said as his parting words.
As Tom was leaving, Matt had to crack his own joke saying, “Tom, can you stay? We can get a booster seat.”
Today Show co-host Al Roaker also had to chime in and as Tom was leaving he said, “His spaceship has to leave soon.”
At the end of the roast, Matt got up on stage to say a few words. He did mention the famous and well talked about interview with Tom. He said, “I went home after the interview and looked up ‘glib,’ and then I was burning mad!” Matt also said that him and Tom have buried the hatchet. Well, that’s good to know.
It’s good to know they have put the past behind them and can joke about it.
