Megyn Kelly NBC today show fiasco

[Gardenista]

I love this--she alienated everyone and her career is over.. Hoisted on her own petard.

Megyn’s show is officially cancelled and Fox News says they don’t want her back. What a spectacular downfall in a short space of time. Fox News offered her $25 million a year but she left to go to NBC she must regret that now.

Nothing endears a new employee to coworkers, like the new gal getting WAY more money! They all hated her.

I watched Megyn Kelly on "Today", she never came off as "authentic", or real. Even if the others are fake, at least they do it better than Megyn. She was just a bit too brittle to be "chatty". This was not the right format for her at all.

The fiasco of putting her up against "60 Minutes", was absolutely idiotic. And interviewing Putin? Really?

The "BlackFace" comment was escalated beyond what she actually said, the agenda was to find any reason to dump her.

 

[they'll get you]

I painted my husband’s face green once so I hope I didn’t offend Kermit.

Hi from Australia.
I did it with food dye and we couldn’t get it off for days.

Nope! I didn’t do it on purpose. ;o

Racist remarks from a journalist should not be tolerated. No matter if she's trying to hide it behind "opinion." She knew exactly what she was saying and how offensive she was being.

* I so agree with you there!

NBC is at fault for having made this baffling hire; yet I feel no sorrow for the abject racist Megyn Kelly.

Megyn and NBC are fighting over her settlement. She wants the remainder of her $69 million contract NBC is saying no way. They are also fighting over a non-disparagement clause in her contract meaning she can’t criticise NBC. - Hollywood Reporter.

 

[Really?]

I watched “ The 9 o’clock Hour” yesterday. I enjoyed it.

 

[gregjrichards]

Reports are Megyn wants the $39 million remaining on her contract plus an additional $10 million for signing the Non Disclosure Agreement. I think she will get the remainder of her contract as it is allegedly iron clad and unbreakable. The NDA depends on how much damage she could do to NBC in revenge.

I am so happy she is gone. I hope Jenna Bush Hager gets the hosting job.

I like Jenna Bush-Hager, too She seems like a genuinely nice person who doesn't crave the spotlight. Jenna reminds me of her mother who was my favorite First Lady. I watch Today whenever JBH is hosting.

Still no word of a settlement I wonder how long it will drag on for. I don’t think Megyn will back down it could end up in litigation unless NBC wants to avoid it.

Jenna Bush-Hager is hosting Today Third Hour this morning. Fingers crossed that she lands the gig permanently.

I think that it will drag on a while, as NBC tries to wriggle out of the contract. But if it is tight, they will have to suck it up. I was never impressed with MK, at Fox news she benefited from the lead in from O'Reilly.

It will be interesting to see where she lands...no one likes her much.

I agree I think NBC will have to write Megyn a big cheque. They are not going to be able to get out of that contract. It’s amazing how Megyn has gone from being offered $25 million a year by Fox News which she turned down and left to being jobless in less than two years.

The only thing amazing to me is that people didn't realize she is an evil person.

Megyn Kelly and NBC have parted ways, almost three months after the host was ousted from her perch as the host of the third hour of Today.

'The parties have resolved their differences, and Megyn Kelly is no longer an employee of NBC,' the network said in a statement late Friday night.

Kelly will be walking away with her full $69 million contract, meaning she will be collecting a lump sum between $25 and $30 million, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
