Showing there were no hard feelings - well, maybe a few - Tom Cruise skewered his one-time Today show adversary Matt Lauer with one-liners in a surprise appearance Friday at a Friars Club roast.

"Believe it or not, Matt and I are friends. Some of you may find that hard to believe," said the actor, who famously scolded Lauer on-air and called him "glib" during a discussion of psychiatry and post-partum depression during a now-notorious 2005 interview.

"When they do 'Where in the World is Matt Lauer,' I'm the one person in the world who knows where he is," said Cruise, who showed humorously doctored slides of the two of them at a backyard barbecue together, wading in a swimming pool and cuddling on a jet-ski.

Cruise also credited Lauer with advising him not to talk about his movie War of the Worlds when he appeared on Oprah Winfrey's show, but to talk about his then-new girlfriend, Katie Holmes. "He said, 'Tom, Tom, don't be glib, You're in love.' " Talk about Holmes, Lauer suggested. "Be inspiring ... People will love you for it," Cruise quoted Lauer as saying.
