Megyn Kelly became one of the most controversial figures during the 2016 election.
When she made the announcement she was moving to NBC, pundits hailed it as a major move.
But her decision has created one major problem.
When Kelly jumped to NBC, she was promised a daytime talk show, a Sunday night news magazine, and a role on the network’s breaking news coverage.
But months after joining NBC, and still no start date for any of her programs has been announced.
Celebrity Insider reported:
“Kelly is not thrilled by her quiet rollout.”
“She was promised fireworks and a huge advertising campaign around her debut,” the person shared. “Now it doesn’t even look like she will be getting a weekday show until the end of the year. They have managed to piss off everyone!”
If Kelly is not getting a daytime talk show until the end of the year, her Sunday night news magazine program may not debut until 2018.
That’s because NBC televises Sunday Night Football from September through the playoffs in January.
Sunday Night Football is the highest rated show on television.
It’s also preceded by a one hour pre-game show.
There is no room on the network lineup for Kelly’s Sunday night program until the middle of January 2018.
This could throw a monkey wrench in NBC’s big plans for Kelly.
Out of sight and out of mind could become a problem.
She has not been on television since the first week of January.
That would mean by the time she gets a regular show on NBC, it would be almost one full year from the last time she regularly hosted a television program.
Kelly’s arrival also rubbed many at NBC the wrong way.
The peacock network canceled the popular “Today Talk” 9am show that was hosted by Al Roker and Tamron Hall in order to make room for Kelly.
It’s also causing tension with the staffers and hosts of the 10am show.
Celebrity Insider reported:
A source said staffers are confused, and they do not know if they will keep their jobs if Kelly decides she wants to hire fresh faces.
According to Radar: “It is a mess and causing massive internal drama. The staff at the Today Show’s 9 and 10am hour do not know if they should be looking for new jobs.”
Gifford and Kotb are among those left in the dark.
The Insider added: “Kathie Lee and Hoda have been kept in the dark about what is happening to their show and are livid. And now Megyn is pissed that she’s going to get a slow rollout starting with just a weekend show that no one cares about.”
Tucker Carlson took over Megyn Kelly’s 9pm slot on Fox News and is delivering higher ratings than she ever drew.
She may not be the bankable TV-star the network executives had originally thought.
And with a delayed rollout at NBC, as well as controversy behind the scenes, she may not be worth the price NBC paid to acquire her either.
And Fox scores again. Good riddance to the not so closet Democrat.
I totally agree! Who needs her on ANY show!
No BS… I had predicted this. I had told my wife that she would get hung out to dry if she did not have in her contract a solid “start date” to any programming she had negotiated. They’ve now got her by the short hairs!
has anyone else seen this? I must have been under a rock I never heard of it.

Nope…
Me neither….
From what I’ve been able to find out it’s a hoax. At least according to Snopes . I don’t believe Snopes has a lot of credibility where Obama is concerned. But as they said don’t you think someone would have heard about it – and it would have been major news him showing up at the DNC convention like that. Would have been ironic though the illegitimate son of an illegitimate son.
Now that looks like fake news
In the first place that’s all,you see is crap about her! I hope the hell she rots, because she will fall flat on her face anyway!
Apparently, she already has. Everything about her coming out now is all negative. She thought way to much of herself. Sort of like all the Hollywierd people.
She bought into her own hype.. Epic FAIL! She should have stayed the investigative/expose route and been someone that matters.. She thought she could be the next ‘katie couric/oprah’ instead, a not so noble endeavor.. An empty one with no meaning..
She should have read Trump’s book, The Art of the Deal
Maybe CNN will let he pump her skin care creme
Kelly hung herself when she failed to remain politically impartial. She’ll never go anywhere with NBC or any other network because of her behavior during 2016.
Hung her for showing us the truth? She had to put up with all those dirty powerfull men to demonstrate she was smart enough to have her own show. She earned that position. Today we found out that O ‘Reilly isn’t the gentleman that his viewers thought he was. Fox is losing tons of sponsors.
Fox has been a nest of sexual predators who thought they could shut up women with money, threats and power.
So again, I do miss brave Megyn Kelly
nothing wrong with that that’s what the leg spreaders are for..
Oink!
Kelly’s future success or failure has nothing to do with any FOX staff or programs —- it’s ALL ABOUT HER FAILURE TO BE POLITICALLY IMPARTIAL.
You are prejudging. That is the problem today, the truth never catches up with the lie.
Well at least YOU will be watching this LUNATIC!! Kelly would not know the truth if it smacked her in the face! And O’Reilly has been a target for YEARS!! These pathetic women have found a way to get rich quick!!! They smell the money!! Sure have a low bar for who your “brave” people are?
I always thought that Megan was mostly fair and balance with only occasionally slipping to the left. However, she did seem to get a big head and maybe pooped her panties.
Well if you believe she was fair and balanced which I don’t think you watched her show much bc you wouldn’t misspell her name “Megyn” foooool. She was NOT fair and balanced good riddance..It is good to see her stumble
I haven’t noticed since i don’t watch fake news.
You only watch the “manufactured [email protected]” coming from CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, and MSNBC, and you only read WaPo and the NY Times? I can see why you haven’t noticed… OR did you mean you haven’t watched NBC and good old Matt Lauer?
I don’t watch any of those and don’t know Mat Liar. FOX NEWS, unless Geraldo comes on.
I understand. You’re one of the more truly informed. By your previous comments I thought you were just a JADS – just another [email protected] snowflake – Sorry
Ha! That’s a good one jimmy. Thanks.
Perhaps the bleeding eyed witch can learn to be a real wife and mother in the interim.
I feel sorry for her husband. Can you imagine living with that witch 24/7?
Her husband attends anger management groups with Bill Clinton.
They promised her the world – just like NBC did with Anne Curry – and “surprise; surprise” they haven’t delivered.. Say what you will about FoxNews, Megyn, at least they followed through on their promises, didn’t they..? Now you know what I mean when I say; NBC, like most of the major networks, is simply a den of snakes… Lying B____s
Just here for the comments.Amazing how so much anger flows when someones views don’t always lay equal to others.Gotta love how all the bashing begins.Continue with the name calling(true colors exposed).Was never into soap operas but I imagine this is how they turn out.
…AND you see it coming from both sides and from the middle don’t you? Here’s something that may enlighten you as to why I call others Snowflakes and why I call myself (and others “like me”) “old school”.. Read O’Reilly’s “Old School”…
Yeah old school is filled with hatred,bigotry,segregation,etc.I’m old & I’m remember people like him growing up.People like him did & do their best to incite these old school values that keep this country in turmoil.If you prefer to be a nation divided continue with that old school propaganda.I’m not saying everything old school is bad but on the other hand O’Reilly is & will always pushes his racist B.S. Then you mention snowflakes, then you tell me how upset you are that people won’t live life as you see fit. All I can see is the pot calling the kettle black once again. So yes I do see things from both sides & I don’t just examine their views but the the views of others.Bed & blue are not the only political colors out there. I’m sure you’ll start with the name calling again which is expected by mindsets from your type.But it won’t bother me,I rather enjoy when people like you show & tell what they’re about. & I quote “Amazing how so much anger flows when someones views don’t always lay equal to others.”
Wow! I haven’t seen that much “excitement” coming from someone since I last watched Whoopie and Joy going off the deep-end simply because their gal Hill lost the election. Suggestion #1 – Don’t get so excited; you and I have much more in common than you think. Suggestion #2 – Again; read O’Reilly’s “Old School” no matter what you think of him. It is a very insightful read and some of those “old schoolers” out there will surprise you. For example – Did you know Billy Joel and Tina Turner are “old school”? Who would have thought that? Suggestion #3 – AND this would be the hardest for most people. The read is only for folks like yourself that are actually looking at our country with “eyes wide open” and then truly analyzing where it is headed if things don’t change. Read “The Civil War is Here” by David Greenfield (FrontPage Mag). Google it up if you dare.
Ultimately, name calling (justified or not) is still FAR better than the way a Democrat in Orlando reacted to people not living the way HE thought they should. In case you forgot, he mass murdered 49 innocent people. And how did other Democrats react? By featuring his Democrat father as a VIP at the Democrat convention. Now THAT’S amazing.
Oh well, I guess that’s what happens sometimes when you get too big for your britches.
It was her mouth and not her britches that did her in. Good riddance is all I can say.
What an arrogant bimbo she is not to understand that she was to MODERATE a debate, and not actually debate herself. She thought it should be all about her! And she did everything to make it so. And people saw her for what she truly is.
Particularly Donald Trump. Tangling with him was a bad idea, and to make matters worse for her, now he’s the POTUS.
Megyn Kelly was/is another victim of liberal lies. They probably promised her the moon and she was naive enough to fall for it.
All NBC can claim is that they took her away from Fox. Big deal! Little did they know what she was really like. Now they know and don’t know what to do with her. It will cost them to break her contract. Maybe they can invent a story that she “sexually harassed” someone at NBC.
Going to NBC was like going to nowhere from the beginning!!
Not naive…greedy!
Years ago I liked her. Then she started believing her own press. Then she started dressing as if she was going to a night club instead of on air. Then she started bashing lots of folks at Fox (Ailes probably deserved it). Then she decided to start a debate with an impertinent, gotcha question so she could be the star. Then $25 million wasn’t good enough. Now she’s over at the mainstream media experiencing their inability to tell the truth and surprised? WOW! Not as bright as I thought.
Yeah, where are you going you dress up like a movie star for the news. Hey she’s 47 yrs 3 kids and not the sex symbol she thinks she is. Stick to the news. Your only average at best! Good luck!
Pride comes before a fall.
Who cares, despised her after her gotcha question in the debate. Have no use for her.
GOODBYE FOREVER MEGYN!!! We don’t miss you ONE BIT on FOX NEWS! NBC….you can have her!! Good Luck!
You have a problem with Megyn but NOT Trump’s misogyny. Very “christian” of you.
Now you attack my Faith? What kind of person are you? I know, one who makes her profile private and says “deal with it.” Coward.
Her antics shocked me and were way over the top. I am no longer a fan of hers.
I was never a fan of hers. She always act like she’s the best they have, YUCK !!
Really GLAD she is GONE !!!!
Me too !!!!
Despite her being “unseen” on TV she has managed to make her 15 seconds last far too long. Frankly I am really sick and tired of even seeing her picture all over the internet and the stupid headlines about her. She needs to go somewhere where someone cares.
Karma always gets revenge.
Megan Kellye succeeded in the ME ME ME so much it was easy to turn her off or the channel. Among many of her over the top… She was reporting on some ones death of a loved one and . Immediately she has her book up there and a must read about when she lost her dad. All about her.
Gosh already forgot all about her…
Megyn who?
She should crawl in to her hole and whither away.
I’m praying for it.
Sorry bout your friggin’ luck Kelly… Well actually I do not like you. Tell Fox u will change to the GOP so you can get your job back. No Way, they would tell you to buzz off. Enjoy how you screwed your own job up. lollol
Megyn Kelly is a libertarian.
I was wondering when she was gonna get going over there I almost forgot about Megyn Maybe they think she’s not Liberal enough over there at the Fake News Network
Liberal democrats have never had a good looking woman before, don’t know what to do with her.
Good for her, going no place fast!
Wow who ever said that the conservatives were mostly Christians lied. The Christ I know and love would never write such hateful, demeaning self-serving comments as on this story.
YUP!!)) AND HOW SWEET REVENGE IS, BYE-BYE, LIBBY. hehehe. NOT IN THE CLOSET ANYMORE..
Kelly who?
Really makes Fox truly as great company as it has been touted, Megan by the time you finally get on the air at the National Biscuit (eaters) Company you will find no one knows your name and you will have to go to President Trump for a plug !
Why did she take the nearly one year off? Itself, that is bad news to a career.
I miss her on Fox. Now is all quite old sexual predators., and Tucker, who is an angry, frustrated CIA wannabe, and doesn’t allow his guests to talk.
Enough…Who Cares…All of this for a News Commentator! She is not Mother Teresa, not Margaret Thatcher. Does anybody on the Planet still interested
I wouldn’t mind staying home with a $20 MILLION a year contract! By the time Ms.Megyn’s face appears on TV, her past due date will have been stamped and she’ll fade into the dust bin of History..
A New potential conquest for Matt Wower
Author MAGA 2016 lol ok he’s unbiased
Lol, must have been tough being a liberal reporter in a conservative network and now they tricked your dumb ass LOL
They would be better off to cancel her all together!! Or put her on with “AL” Al Sharpton on MSNBC!! They deserve each other!! Talk was that this idiot was going to take over the time slot of Days of Our Lives? This is a show that has been on for EVER and loved by all Soap watchers! THAT should seal her fate with ALL of them! She has too high of an opinion of HERSELF and not a single show ever got as good of ratings as Tucker Carlson has now!!
Poor Baby!
Goes to show the old adage, Be careful what you wish for is true. ALL people need to remember they are not anywhere near as important to the scheme of things as they like to think they are. There is absolutely no one that is not replaceable. A person is there today and gone tomorrow and the day after people will be saying remember ol what’s his/her name?
When Megyn “insulted” President Trump with her first question regarding women, her ONLY purpose was to demoralize and defame a presidential candidate and MANY Trump supporters were outraged! That was the night I wrote on her Facebook page and told her that I, along with the many Trumps supporters were boycotting her show never to watch her again…..and guess what…..IT WORKED!!! Goodbye Megyn…..don’t let the door hit you in the ass whether it be FOX NEWS OR NBC!!
Megyn who?
You all sound very old. Degrading women is not longer in fashion
Kelly is done. Her ego got the better of her. She wont be the big news / talk show talking head with legs that she thought. Even if she swings far left and joins the ranks of Rachel Madcow with breathless reporting of fake news, she will not gain the following of adoring viewers she so desires. Only if she becomes an avowed bi- sexual or has a gender change will the sick liberals admit her into their ranks as a talking head. It won’t be long before she’s doing infomercials on late nite TV hawking skin creams or the NoNo Hair Removal System.
