Among those scheduled to appear at the by-invitation-only, not-for-broadcast event include Lauer's predecessor Bryant Gumbel, his former sidekick Katie Couric and the current one, Meredith Vieira – as well as his across-the-channel rival, Good Morning America's Diane Sawyer.

Actress Meg Ryan felt guilty over her divorce from Dennis Quaid - even though she was only partly to blame.
Ryan reveals it wasn't until after the dissolution of her ten-year marriage in 2001 that she learned details of Quaid's alleged infidelity, adding that she blamed herself for the pair's split long after their separation.
She tells U.S. magazine InStyle: "When the woman cheats, it's the woman's fault. When the man cheats, it's the woman's fault."
The When Harry Met Sally star insists she felt like "a scarlet woman having a reckless affair that destroyed my marriage" after being attacked by the media for straying from actor Quaid.
Although she remains quiet on many of the details, Ryan did admit on U.S. TV show Good Morning America: "The truth is I had a very complicated marriage... the last few years I've confused a lot of people really.
"I'm not interested in opening up my marriage, I just feel like every now and then you have to fill in the gaps for people... We're not friends really, but we're friendly."
Ryan and Quaid have a 16-year-old son, Jack Henry.
