NEW YORK, New York -- More than three years after his controversial interview with anchor Matt Lauer, Tom Cruise will return live to NBC's "Today" show this coming Monday morning.

In an interview set for December 15, the star will talk about his new film, "Valkyrie," as well as his career and life with his famous family.

Tom and Matt sparred during his last appearance on the show, when an exchange on anti-depressants found the star calling Matt "glib," but the two buried the hatchet earlier this year when Tom made a successful appearance at the anchor's Friar's Club Roast.

"You sit on a couch all day and interview the car from 'Knight Rider,'" Tom joked at the roast in October, referencing their earlier run-in. "Lose my number, you glib putz!"

Matt responded in kind, joking, "Tom, can you stay? We can get a booster seat," as Cruise left the stage.

    matt lauer ought to stick to interviewing celebrities like Tom Cruise then he will never have to ask any questions of substance. It's too bad that all he can think of is fluff questions when he has the oppurtunity to shine.Elementary school students ask more informative questions than Matt does. It seems as though the road to success in the news media is be careful of the corporate sponsor

    Tom C. is a hopeless nutcase. He has nothing interesting or thoughtful to say.

    The reason Tom never really goes away is because all of you keep bringing him up...why do you think Matt has him coming back?

    He just happens to believe in something that not everyone agrees with. Can't we just agree to disagree?

    Tom used to be the "it" guy of Hollywood...and people forget all the great movie roles he has done. He may be a little odd, but he can lay solid claim to the title "Movie Star"...most of the so called stars coming out today do not deserve that kind of attention.
