No one will soon forget Matt's unfortunate run-in with the deer. Not only did he miss some time on TODAY and undergo surgery ... but he faced countless jokes around the office and on the show for quite some time.

So, I decided to do some sleuth work around the office and show off true "journalistic chops" -- I went ahead and interviewed Matt's co-anchors at TODAY to get the truth behind this little run-in once and for all!

Be sure to post your theory of choice below -- was it truly a deer? Maybe you agree with Meredith? Do you think it was just an excuse? Don't forget to add your ideas for future "Getting to Know TODAY" questions as well. Hopefully we'll pick yours.
