NBC has fired its leading morning news anchor Matt Lauer over a sexual harassment allegation, the network's president for news said in a memo to staff on Wednesday.

"On Monday night, we received a detailed complaint from a colleague about inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace by Matt Lauer," Andrew Lack, the NBC News president, said in the memo.

He said the allegation against Mr. Lauer "represented, after serious review, a clear violation of our company's standards. As a result, we've decided to terminate his employment."
