Megyn Kelly’s career at NBC is off to a rocky start.
She’s swamped with controversy, and her ratings are in the tank.
Now she just got news that could spell the end of it all.
The first two episodes of Kelly’s Sunday night news magazine were poorly received.
They were both beaten by reruns of 60 Minutes.
Network executives and Kelly hoped her interview with the controversial InfoWars host Alex Jones would turn the tide.
Jones spent the week leading up to the interview blasting Kelly for deceptive tactics and airing phone calls and footage that showed Kelly was promising to air a fair piece that Jones would get some positive reviews over.
Liberal journalists stoked the controversy by demanding NBC pull the interview.
Sponsors fled the show as the firestorm surrounding the episode raged.
There’s an old saying in the entertainment industry – the only bad publicity is no publicity at all.
Kelly and her interview with Alex Jones dominated the media landscape for a solid week.
But the reaction from viewers was a collective yawn.
Kelly once again flopped in the ratings.
She suffered humiliation not only by losing to a rerun of 60 Minutes, but to a repeat of America’s Funniest Home Videos too.
Not exactly must see TV: Megyn Kelly's Sunday night show (f/ the Alex Jones interview) gets 3.5 m. viewers, beaten by "60 Mins" 5.3 m.

Down in the 25-54 demo, too.
Putin interview – 572k
Erin Andrews interview – 460k
Alex Jones interview – 345kper mm overnights. https://t.co/D6CXMfGqrh

Even liberal critics who wanted to see Jones embarrassed were let down by the interview.
Maya Kosoff of Vanity Fair treated the interview with a shrug of the shoulders.
She wrote:
“On the heels of a mostly toothless, poorly-received interview with Vladimir Putin during the premiere of her new NBC News show last Sunday, Megyn Kelly’s interview tonight with Alex Jones, right-wing polemicist and the host of InfoWars, offered an opportunity for the network’s newest star to redeem herself. Instead, after sparking a week of controversy that blew up in NBC’s face, the interview served as a little more than a tepid primer for audiences unfamiliar with the far-right internet video host.”
Kelly’s poor ratings are an issue.
Her show is already scheduled for a hiatus once football season starts, which is when NBC will air their Sunday night football telecast.
But based on her poor ratings, the hiatus could be permanent.
Sorry cannot comment – I don’t know which cable channel has NBC….
Bye!!!!!!
Megyn, as soon as she left “Fox News”, she was like a “tornado”, just spiraling down into oblivion.
Yeh where is O’rielly?Or Ailes? She is multimillionaire like them…so Fox has made lots of millionaires.
I miss oreilly. I will follow him to any station he gets on.
Megyn, Add….. Now someone has to “clean up the MESS” She has left behind.
Oh poor …Ahhhh…Whats her name again ??
Megyn is a lovely woman, but there are lots of them on the talk news circuit, so she should have tempered her opinions of her colleagues on Fox, the Conservative wing, the Republican slate, and The Donald himself and she would still be queen of the flock with high ratings. Instead she rolled the dice and crapped out!!!!
Bet her bank account has more commas in it than yours or mine combined.
You said it EXACTLY to the point!! Succinct and Accurate!
see this https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/jul/21/roger-ailes-sexual-harassment-accusations-fox-news
Her career will continue as long as she produces what the owners of her network that hired her want, whether viewers increase or decrease, whether FOX, NBC or any other MSM networks. The MSM owners own 96% of all western world media.
Kelly has a contract that pays off whether cancelled or not.
Who is Kelly´s next victim?
She IS OUT.
Crap usually craps out. Only the stench remains.
Dump the BITCH !!!!!!
Come on Bob, quit beating around the bush and just say what you mean.
I know what you are implying, but there is no such word in the Bible. Do you guys also write the Ten Commandments so they work with your fantasies? That’s called “New Age”, and that is NOT what God’s WORD was about. Try again!
Actually the word “raptura” is Greek for snatching up and that is in the Bible.
Some have been so blinded by this world that they do not want to see the truth. The Greek word you mention is indeed the root word for our English word Rapture. A rose smells just as sweet no matter what word you call it.
Sorry, but you are wrong, as told below, the Greek word Rapelo , which means to gather up or sna#ch away, ( digus has a problem with that word ) is the root word for Rapture. Which BTW is the next biblical event to happen. Nothing else needs to occur before it happens. We do not live under the law, (the Ten Commandments ) they were not to save us but to prove that we need a Savior. Jesus is the only human to ever not break any of the commandments. thus making him the perfect , spotless lamb worthy of being a sacrifice for our sins. For by grace are we saved, not by our works, lest any man should boast. I have no fantasies, just faith in Jesus had his word. Come to the channel ” Calling all Christians” read and grow in the word with us. Tell Genie 7 that I brought you and I might get a few brownie points, which I need from time to time. LOL

Well, she had her place, in her own time! The problem is that it wasn’t in anyone else’s. After all of the garbage that was pulled on TRUMP prior to the debates (opinons stated, said “I dunno — we’ll see”!) Who? In their right name, would be so foolish as to get the tongue wagging long before she even knew the NAME of Trump, and didn’t understand how hard he actually worked to KEEP afloat!! What did she think he did? Just sat back and watch the money roll in?
In his time and in his day, he was as busy studying his father & his ethics longer than he studied his courses in high school. It was to his benefit. Our history was full of lies, he didn’t care about geography outside of NY and he had a hero who encouraged him all the way. It was his “family”! From a small little boy, he admired & wanted to be like DAD! It happened. There is a lesson in that.
Hope they take off her show! She’s so vain & thinks she the reincarnation of Marilyn Monroe! I stopped watching her show on Fox before she left.
We all quit as soon as she showed how full of herself she was…No room in there for anyone or anything else…Her poor kids.
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass!!!
I had with you after you the did the Trump debate!!!
Well they wanted to play with fire, now they’re getting burnt! In order to be a good liar, you must have a very good memory, and in order to have a memory you must first have a brain! One of the first things you must do to become a democrat is have a lobotomy!
Ms. Kelly, you are obviously a very nice looking woman, maybe you should find another line of work, because I am not the only person who is tired of seeing your name in print and hearing it elsewhere! Just go away!
Why are all of you so angry at Kelly? Sure she is not great and she was made a millionaire by Rog Ailes and company. And yes with so much turmoil at Fox now with so many having to leave or being paid to leave it is not a good place to be. Why are you so angry at at her? What did she do to make you angry? Roger chose her to question Donald. It was not her doing. Cool off. What if Oriley gets another job? Will you be angry at him?
The word NO comes to mind! She is old enough and been around long enough in the media business to know that INTEGRITY is everything. (Money confused her thought process…it always does)
James Wade Gilley: You make no sense at all. Don’t waste your time trying to write coherent sentences, much less paragraphs. Go on back and grab that weed eater. (Try not to hurt yourself)
Gee, I hope she saved some of the tens of millions of dollars she got paid (not not “earned”) at Fox.
Good bye to one of many mouths I did not like.
Serves her right for being a snot nose. Karma is a bitch.
Trump wins again…she is a has been…bye bye!
She could have a nice PBS slot alongside Charlie Not so Rosey.
She joins the long list of celebrities who thought the grass would be greener elsewhere. Used to be a fan, now I think her struggles are karma.
OH I think she is going to work for Hillay. The Deadly Due. The would go good-er together. Peanut Butter and Jelly. Dusty and Rusty.
BOBBY ~!~
must be an older pic. She doesn’t look as good now
She will be a footnote fairly soon. Was less popular than she thought, even at her zenith.
When the newsperson becomes the news….. Now we know what happens
Megan just got too big for her britches. (In Arthur Godfrey days, it was “lost their humility”).
Got too big for her britches. And forgot to be nice to those on her way up…. cause she will see them on her way dooowwwn.
I honestly don’t believe she was on her way up! I think she got her head stuck in the elevator door, and had to use the stairs. Problem was, she was panting a little too hard; and that doesn’t sit well with people! It is an acting job when you are doing the news. It is NOT a sit there and look at me position! You actually have to believe body & soul what you are reporting and put some interest in what others are saying to your questions. You immediately shut them down if you didn’t hear the words you thought they should respond with!! Case in point, TRUMP!! That is why you don’t mess with TRUMP!!
Megyn use to be good at the news when she co-hosted on the Court TV Station, she was with another gentleman and they were good together, then he left for CNN and they got another guy and it didn’t really work, I quit watching then the station became HLN and they hired Robin Meade. She is great and I love watching her in the mornings. Megyn could learn something from Robin, I don’t know why Megyn became so negative, but it doesn’t suit her I think that’s why people hate her so much. She needs to lighten up and one doesn’t like to listen to the news anyway so you need to be a little on the humor side and not be so negative. News is negative, so chill out and become more relaxed.
I know a lot of people who do not hate her and wish her well..We hope she will find a new spot and leave this controversy behind here..And I do not think Donald Trump has any more to do with this. I wish I would see people start using their brains instead of their malice.
It was a calculated risk. I’m in the business and I can tell you what Megyn’s Agents/Managers thought. She was red hot at fox but there was nothing more to win. The big three networks are still the most watched in the country so.. you make the jump to NBC for a bigger audience, more money and a chance to be Barbara Walters (an institution). NBC will be glad to try to get some of those Fox viewers. The problem is she can’t be as strident there as she was at Fox. Her Sunday show is kinda’ “60 minutes” Lite. That won’t attract “60 Minutes” viewers or the Fox viewers that want red meat reporting and controversy. In the end you have a Katie Couric situation, an anchor that is very popular in one format but not in anything else. Megyn should have stayed with Fox and become the “Barbara Walters” of fox, but her agents would never agree to that because an agent’s job is to extract as much money as possible from the client for as long as they can. Their thinking is that all their clients have a shelf life and they make the best deal based on that short shelf life. Going to NBC to make maybe 30% more for 5 years fits their vision better than staying at Fox for less money for 15 years. I’ve been in the room when this kind of thing has been decided.
You really think the alphabet channels are the most watched? I don’t know about that
I thought fox was the most watched…
Meghan Kelly is an independent woman and decent journalist.
She provided a window into the world of Putin and Alex Jones. Of course the interviews were civil. Of course the interviewees were circumspect, they set of the reservation.
Ratings mean little outside the entertainment world. A rare opportunity to witness real people in the news was afforded even if somewhat stilted by circumstances.
Many who frequent these pages and eat up the gossipy storytelling and bloodlust contained therein, are exhibiting their own frailties as pop culture.
Poor Megyn, she’s a bad sales person. She can’t even sell a bottle of water to a thirsty person,
Like I said she is totally irrelevant, get out and stay out BYE BYE !
Megyn Kelly got a case of the big head in other words she became arrogant and believed she was irreplaceable.
She carried her grudge with Trump too long and too far. Just couldn’t give up.
Much like the democraps! It will be their undoing also.
She should not have started the feud with Trump in the first place!
Going up against Trump, when we know he is always going to be the winner, is NOT a good idea!
After that, she never stood a chance!
One last comment … because she already screwed up with Trump, she should have stayed at Fox who was willing to keep her and pay her well!
When you are already on shaky ground, is not the time to jump ship!!! ?
Newt did her in on a show.
This is just the beginning of the end of all those against Trump!
interesting how those who get senate jobs leave WEALTHY…..
She burned bridges and now she has nowhere to go.
Megyn is not as smart as she thinks she is!
You are Spot on Marvin. I also watched her every nite until she Bashed Trump. No reason for that kind of questioning in a Presidential debate. The dirt will surface any way. See Ya Megan.
She lost me when she bashed Trump. I watched her every night prior to that.
there is a saying….if you can’t be great…attack the great. an English teacher said it explaining the writers attacking shakesphere.
Void of humility and gratitude she got too big for her britches soon after debate. Trashed fox the rest is history. Her grasp of the facts flimsy at best. She should save her money, karma is a fickle lady
The great white shark bit her own arse. Enjoy the bottom feeders.
yep she could be back at Fox pulling down $20 m. contracts
She is having Jones and O’Rielly love childs at the same time at least she well get millions
And the skank bites the dust. Which proves that she was not all she thought she was. Next stop for kelly is senior porn.
Megyn , very bad judgment , The end is near,,,,,,,
The Jews probably can’t make a whore out of her like they have other pigs on Jewish TV. HODA and KATHIE LEE one show were comparing how they trim the hair on their vagina. Megyn would never do that.
READ BELOW ALL TRUE ABOUT JEWISH MAFIA EMPIRE WHO ARE KILLING OUR COUNTRY:
1. The Jews have emasculated our nation by destroying our pride in America’s Christian history. Without a commonly held memory a nation ceases to exist as a cohesive unit.
2. The Jews have labeled America’s Christian Founding Fathers as “racists” and “white slavers” while at the same time suppressing the fact that Jews financed and participated in the Black slave trade.
3. The Jews have promoted multiculturalism, celebrating every culture — no matter how backward and barbaric — except for Western white European culture. As Jewish feminist Susan Sontag, (originally named Susan Rosenblatt), stated: “The white race is the cancer of humanity.” But Susan Rosenblatt Sontag’s own cancerous contagion is her lesbian perversity with photographer Annie Leibovitz and Nicole Stephane Rothschild, the banking heiress turned movie actress.
4. The Jews have driven our Christian heritage from the public square through the efforts of the Jewish Lobby Groups, the ADL and the ACLU. American children will grow up in a society wiped clean of any vestiges of the Bible, Christ or the Cross. However, the Menorah is still allowed in public displays and in the White House for Hannukah celebrations.
5. The Jews have torn our borders open, permitting, indeed cheering, the Third World immigrants who will soon replace the white Christian American majority. The Jacob Javitzes and the Lautenbergs have designed legislation that will genocide us. They have done all this while simultaneously supporting Israel’s “Jews-only” immigration policy.
6. The Jews have pushed, created and profited from pornography and perverse entertainment. The “chosen people” make up 90% of all American pornographers. The Hollywood they run has mainstreamed wife-swapping, common law marriages, fornication, homosexuality, lesbianism, transvestitism, pedophilia, drug and alcohol abuse and self-indulgence. Bestiality will be next on the list for these society-corrupting Jews.
Too bad…. Hope NBC keeps her!!! She sux!!!..
Megyn Kelly has gotten way too big for her panties. Her justification for this interview with Jones is because “Donald Trump” allegedly respects this guy? What a lame excuse! NBC’s logic of simply tying this guy to President Trump would promote viewership and ratings. It backfired. In light of what happen recently in DC (the shooting of Rep Scalise and others) the vitriol continues to be fuel by the MEDIA. Regarding Ms. Kelly, I predict her new career will be short lived at NBC. She has a high degree of self-importance and arrogance which her colleagues find toxic. And is not appealing to viewers. The pinnacle of her career was the 2016 Republican debates. FOX ratings didn’t skip a beat with her departure. Take away her eye candy appearance, and she then has nothing more to offer than Chuck Todd, Lester Holt, or the “man of truth” Brian Williams or any of the other NBC or MSNBC fake news trolls. I agree with former FBI director James Comey they (the mainstream media) are ALL like Seagulls at the Garbage dump always looking for the stench of rotten red meat. They thrive on promoting their conspiracies and fake-news theories. NBC is no longer a news leader and is so disliked and no longer trusted by viewers. They are no longer a reliable news source. The only one who really wins here is Kelly she’ll walk away with her $17 million per year contract thru it life regardless of whether she’s on the air or not!
I bet Megyn “She’s All That” Kelly is rethinking her relationship with FNC, which has a tremendous following of viewers compared to the mainstream alphabet networks. Maybe she thought she was so fabulous and influential that she could change that. Clear thinking people don’t watch those networks unless they still only have roof mounted TV antennas. I watched her show because it was “Alex Jones” and was totally disappointed. What a boring interview! Alex is such a rightwing loony-toon, I figured that it would have to be, at the very least, a totally funny segment. When you’re in current events ratings trouble, interview someone controversial, right? I understand that the actual interview was about an hour or more, yet less than 15mins was actually used. Who made the editing decisions? Jones had to have been better than what we saw. Megyn…..you’ve got to get outa there. You can’t change mainstream media boring propaganda……even if you are…..”all that”.
Megyn who?
No wonder Bill O’Reilly referred to her as, “Me again Kelly!”
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/jul/21/roger-ailes-sexual-harassment-accusations-fox-news
LOL, I knew she would go down in flames, KARMA BABY !!!!!
Poor Megyn. She burned her own bridges. Who cares.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHJoj9IqeKg
That’s great!!! She deserves more than that!!! FIRE her ass! She is just a OVER paid, OVER rated Bitch!
The Megan moment has come and gone and her 15 minutes of fame with it. That’s what she gets and what she deserves for trying to set up Trump with her smutty, small minded questions and attempted character assassination on national TV. Good by and good riddance.
Really ??…Who gives a rat’s rear what …Ahhh, what’s her name says or does..
Too bad for her she wanted MORE..Best to count the blessings you have. I would throw away that book by Dr Phil that cost you your career.
I’ll miss her legs.
Well she fits right in the ratings the whole network recieves
