Where in the World is Matt Lauer? is a segment on NBC's Today show, which features co-host Matt Lauer traveling the world to various locations within one week. The title is similar to the children's computer game and PBS game show Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?, and the segment's opening theme for a time was a take on Rockapella's theme song for the game show. The current theme is by 615 Music. In most seasons, the Today Show co-hosts weren't informed in advance of Matt Lauer's location, and would make guesses before the location was revealed, based on a clue he offered (his appearance at this point was a close-up camera shot which didn't reveal anything about his location).
The planned Season 10 (2009) of Where in the World is Matt Lauer was planned to be replaced for the year by a domestic road trip called "Today Takes a Vacation" due to the economic downturn. That series was pushed back to mid-summer of 2009 due to the 2009 H1N1 flu outbreak of the spring.
