A couple weeks ago, I asked: Where in the world can Lauer still go?

Matt Lauer kicked off the latest installment of his "Where In The World?" series today. But it wasn't the most exciting debut -- he was at the Boeing assembly plant near Seattle.

"What happened to Matt Lauer's around the world adventures? Everett, Washington??," an e-mailer asks, calling it "lame."

Lauer had to give a disclaimer that the engine he was standing on was made my NBC's parent company. (It led another e-mailer to ask: "How much did Boeing pay for its three hour commercial on the Today Show this morning?")
