Tyler Henry, E!'s Hollywood Medium sat down with Today show host Matt Lauer for a reading that brought the news anchor to tears.

When the reading began, Lauer handed Henry a pocketknife which belonged to his grandfather.

“[This person] is coming through in a fatherly kind of essence,” Henry said while holding the heirloom. “This man is immediately going to have me talk about the passing. I’m definitely getting a reference to a progressive decline in health.”

Lauer then told him that his father died while in hospice care almost 20 years ago.

The journalist kept his cool throughout the many revelations during his time with Henry, but he shared with his co-hosts that he had a good cry when it was all over.

“It was just a fraction of the conversation,” Lauer told the Today team. “The conversation lasted more than an hour, and there were times … when my hands were shaking and I felt like I was perspiring because the things he was saying were so spot-on … I got home, and I cried.”
