The National ENQUIRER has learned Matt told NBC honchos he's ready to quit — after the Peacock Network crowned former FOX News star Megyn as its new queen with a hefty $15 million contract! As The ENQUIRER has reported, Matt fumed when NBC handed Megyn the third hour of “Today” — and sources claim he plans to pack it in when his current deal expires in 2020.

“It seems Matt felt betrayed that NBC went behind his back to hire Megyn,” an insider spilled to The ENQUIRER. “He probably felt he should’ve been consulted since he’s the big kahuna on ‘Today.’” It didn't help that Megyn stumbled out of the blocks, getting poor marks for her sit-down with Russian President Vladimir Putin and sparking an uproar with her Alex Jones (left) interview.

“Matt feels Megyn made everybody at ‘Today’ look foolish,” claimed the source. “Matt has a very short fuse, and it’s all but burned out. He’s clearly had enough and intends to walk away when his deal’s up. What he doesn’t realize yet is why no one’s tried to stop him from leaving!”

Given his huge salary, some network insiders believe it’s a blessing in disguise if Matt’s planning to leave on his own. “Matt earns more than anybody on ‘Today.’ The general consensus is ‘Good riddance!’” dished the source. “No one is going to miss Matt. Some people can’t wait to see the back of him — and think it’s a shame he won’t leave sooner than 2020!”
