Tom Cruise Matt Lauer, Pictures: Matt Lauer to Tom Cruise: No Hard Feelings

See More... There was no couch jumping during Tom Cruise's recent Oprah Winfrey interview. But the megastar did make several revelations – like admitting that he regrets his infamous argument with Matt Lauer.

Unfortunately, the Today show host tells PEOPLE, he didn't get to watch Winfrey's two-hour Cruise-a-palooza.

"I was traveling," he said on his way into a N.Y.C. dinner celebrating Time magazine's Most Influential People in the World issue on Thursday night. "I didn't see the interview. Somebody told me a little bit."

So does Lauer – who sparred with Cruise in 2005 over Scientology's stance against psychiatric medication – find it strange that the actor hasn't apologized to him personally?

"I don't think he needs to apologize," Lauer insisted. "I don't feel there are any hard feelings. It was an interview. It was a good moment on television."

In fact, Lauer said he would welcome the chance to interview the Mission: Impossible star again. "The doors are open," he added. "I hope he comes back and seems me real soon."
