Although Matt Lauer may not get along with all his coworkers, he still seems to have a soft spot for Katie Couric.

The Today show host opened up to Howard Stern about the decade he spent sharing the morning headlines with Couric.

"Was it always easy? No...We worked together for 10 years. Was every day a bed of roses? No, of course not," Lauer told Stern on Wednesday. "But overall, we are very much the same person. We have very similar senses of humor, and I thought we had a good and easy chemistry."

Lauer never seemed to develop such chemistry with Ann Curry, but then again, Curry never admitted to having a crush on the 55-year-old journalist.

"I actually had a little crush on Matt when he was the local news anchor at WNBC," Couric told Stern in a different interview back in May."I thought he was so funny and so quick."

Couric, who currently hosts the daytime talk show Katie, may not have ever dated Lauer but he admits to thinking he thought she was something else.

"I think...every man in America was attracted [to Katie Couric]," Lauer said, according to Us Weekly. "She's a very attractive woman, not only physically, but her personality...if she's a 9 or 10 physically, she's a 14 because -- I hate to do that -- because she's got a great personality. She's fun."

However, Couric departed the Today show in 2006 and left Lauer to try and reestablish the same type of relationship with several new co-hosts.
