For Megyn Kelly, things are not proceeding according to plan.
Her career at NBC is off to a rocky start.
Now her career has suffered a massive setback.
Megyn Kelly’s new NBC Sunday night show is just four episodes into its run.
And it’s already on life support.
Ratings have declined every week.
It’s being beaten in the ratings by reruns of America’s Funniest Home Videos and 60 Minutes.
Breitbart reports:
“How low can Megyn Kelly’s ratings go?
NBC’s Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly got walloped by a fresh episode of 60 Minutes and lost yet again to a rerun of America’s Funniest Home Videos. In fact, as Variety pointed out, Kelly’s show slipped to “a new low in both the key demo and total viewers.”
Kelly’s much-hyped interview with Alex Jones that aired last week was her lowest-rated program to date until last night’s show, which “averaged a 0.4 rating in adults 18-49 and 3.4 million viewers, according to Nielsen data. That is down from a 0.5 and 3.6 million viewers [for] last week’s episode.” 60 Minutes had 7.2 million viewers while the rerun of America’s Funniest Home Videos got 3.9 million.
Kelly’s debut show, which featured an interview with Russian Vladimir Putin that was resoundingly mocked because Kelly seemed way out of her league, lost to a rerun of 60 Minutes and her second show could not beat out reruns of 60 Minutes and America’s Funniest Home Videos. Her third program, which featured the much-hyped Alex Jones interview, tanked as well, losing again to reruns of 60 Minutes and America’s Funniest Home Videos while drawing just 3.6 million viewers.”
Low ratings have exposed Kelly as a product of the Fox News primetime lineup.
Breitbart also reports:
“Kelly’s terrible ratings have led to many questions about her marketability and competence.
A network executive reportedly told CNN that NBC’s “fundamental mistake” was thinking Kelly was a “superstar” while Variety noted that Kelly’s star is “dimmer than ever” The Boston Globe eviscerated Kelly for being a “poseur” who lacks the “acumen” and “magnetism” to succeed at NBC News. Variety also pointed out that Kelly has pretty much alienated everyone in just three weeks at NBC.”
While at Fox, Kelly drew high ratings, but they were fool’s gold.
She occupied the most valuable spot on cable news – the follow-up to Bill O’Reilly.
O’Reilly had the largest audience on cable news and Kelly benefited from him as her lead-in.
Without O’Reilly or the Fox brand, Kelly has struggled to attract an audience.
She is struggling being on her own at NBC.
Critics say this is because the liberal leaning NBC audience will never accept her.
She will always be a former Fox News host in their eyes.
Kelly – however – also burned many bridges with her audience on the right because of the controversial end to her tenure at Fox News as well as her feud with Donald Trump.
Will she be able to turn around her show’s fortunes?
Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.
Another “celebrity” who got too big for her britches.
Oooo, sounds sexist…
Under garment?
Goodbye Megyn. Won’t miss ya.
Bad move Megyn, Fox was real good to you.
Waaaay too good – she should NEVER have had her own program.
Liberals will never accept her down home attributes. She played the girl next door routine to a ‘T’.
The Libs are too high class for that corny MO.
Liberals would not understand class if it bit them in the A$$. But lyou are right on the second part, she will not be excepted by Liberals because she worked for Fox.
The only high Liberals have is being on Dope!
Soon she will fade into history.
The success at FOX went to her. She was to self centered to realize at least half of her followiing was due to O’Reilly’s Factor hour right before her!!
Megyn put her eggs in the wrong basket. She tried to side with the celebridiots instead of her old Fox audiences. The minute she went against Trump she shot herself in the foot. I will never watch her again unless she is on Howard Stern again and she pumps up her “killer B’s”.
The last sentence in the response preceding mine says it all. This is an example of what happens when one depends on only the mindset of the big boob lovers. Megyn has zero talent. She does not even qualify for being a “talking head”. Her claim to fame is “boob showing” She otherwise qualifies for being referred to as just another female airhead with zero talent who relys on prominent boobs and the braindead state of fantasizing males who can do no better than watch sad females like Megyn strut her pathetic “wares”. Doubt anyone will even notice she was replaced
if her replacement is blessed with a bit of common sense.
NBC is blaming Megyn for their “downfall.” She may not be the “super Star”, she was with Fox, but NBC lacks the shows that would”Boost” their ratings. They only have 2 or 3 “Good shows” during the week, at “Prime time,” that are “worth watching,”AND……. With their “Trump Bashing”, all the time, doesn’t help matters any. Megyn, has ‘”made” enough money to retire early, which may be her “Out.”
Ever since Megyn Kelly had her tete a tete with the Donald during the GOP primary “debates” she’s been on a slide down to the pits of hell in ratings. Her best TV days are behind her and she needs to evaluate her losses then decide how soon she can RETIRE!
Ms. Kelly blew it big time. And the Earth still revolves.
I stopped watching her a long time ago!
Me too..cannot stand the stuck up b**ch.
She now understands why you don’t soil your bed!! Tough, now she has to sleep in it. LOL
I don’t know where her career is headed. Her viewers from Fox News won’t even watch the National Barack Channel, and the NBC viewers won’t give her a chance to succeed. I would guess her career is over.
I am a Fox Fan, but I didn’t really watch Kelly, I know she was a Democrat and had some problem that lingered for years. She was leaving Fox she didn’t have to pile on,after she stayed all those years with Roger at the Helm. She is Pretty but too hard for my taste, very smart, and did the job for Fox. Just like Greta who I liked very much I only viewed her one time. Real Fox fans can’t be swayed to NBC, they lie, they are unfair and O’Reilly could have swayed us but not Meygan without the opening act on the right station. Good Luck Kelly, you will be fine.
KELLY WHO? TIME FOR HER TO SAY GOODBYE!
She signed a giant contract with NBC. She wins no matter what.
Megyn has outFoxed herself and burned all her bridges and there is no one left who is willing to rescue Megyn from herself, even if they could.
Everyone has a level of honesty and integrity. Some are full and some are empty. Megan Kelly failed the test. She was empty. A pretty face does not make one competent and honorable in reporting. Reminds me of a quote from a movie… “They had no honor and God was watching”.
She is a licensed attorney! They are trained to make money from human misery. That’s why there are so many that want to get into politics. Only there can one make money causing misery (laws) and even more money by moderating that misery (law amendments).
The establishment thinks T is a revolutionary out to get them so they have mobilized all their forces, the DDs, RINOs, celebs, sports people, Obama, the media to get him before he gets them. They are paranoid and think he is a lone wolf and can’t believe we the people have rejected them after all the wondrous things they have done to America.. Yes, to America, not for America but for themselves, for the establishment, for the party. One giant step backward they have done to us is to hang a 20 trillion dollar national debt millstone around our necks. Another is to be more concerned with immigrants than American citizens and have resurrected the old liquor prohibition. Only they, the DDs, did it with health care by prohibiting people from taking care of their own health care needs the best they can afford and mandating only govt approved health care ins. And then with scorn and contempt they accused us of white privilege, and entitlements. When in fact if I have any of these things they were given to me by the govt in an attempt to buy my vote with patronage!
As a lawyer Kelly won’t even be able to find honest work after she is drummed out of the news media business.
Megyn is a classic case of the grass NOT being greener on the other side. I generally liked her while she was at Fox News, but she had the benefit of following O’Reilly as far as ratings go. And she has certainly been a disaster since leaving Fox for one the biggest fake/false news entities anywhere.
No, Kelly will most likely not be able to turn around the poor ratings of her show on NBC. She failed to realize, as did NBC, and the entire Democrat Party, that her popularity on FOX was a result of the popularity of conservatism. She probably thought that bashing Trump would be a successful path to take, but just like the Dems, history has proven that idea scores very low on the reality meter. She will discover just how intolerant the liberals are when compared to the real tolerance of conservatives.
Until the Republican primary debate she co-hosted, I thought she was a pretty good journalist — provocative but “fair and balanced.” Now with Joe Scarborough going off the rails, she has a great opportunity to occupy the intellectual space Joe and Mika once did. Simply, she could reinvent herself as a journalist who goes deep to uncover and display facts that helps her audience become more educated on the issues of the day. Use lots of simple charts to display relevant facts and trends. Bring on guests who are experts on different sides of an issue and don’t need talking points to help viewers understand. Whether NBC wants an intellectually honest journalist is open to question, but this is the only path for Megyn to restore her brand.
Didn’t read the article because I’m sick of hearing about Megan Kelly after about a year! Who cares?
Megyn when you ratted on Rogers Allies and your encounter 10 years ago on the Dr. Phil show then you lost your credibility. At the cost of your job you ratted out your former boss just to make book sales that I think flopped. So now Karma is a bitch.
she thinks he is to bg for anyone will she found out no ore Kelly for my family and friends KEEP HER NBC NO ONE WANTS HER
Seriously….does anyone give a hoot about this HAS BEEN? She made her bed!!!!!!!
The Titanic has never been raised either !
I liked her on FOX and thought she would eventually be bigger than O’Reilly, then she went off on Trump thinking it would make liberals like her. It didn’t work and she turned most Conservatives against her and as we see the liberals don’t and never will like her. It’s a long fall from the top to NBC and I don’t think she will ever recover. Oh well she brought it on herself…………
Megyns first mistake was going to one of the worse Networks in America= NBC,they are anti American and every Channel is corrupt,and lies about everything they talk about.she should have talked to O’REILLY, he is already on the Internet and is planning a new Network to compete with Fox.she would have been on top sooner than she will with the corrupt NBC.
A leftist bimbo with delusions of grandeur. She is just not as good as she thinks she is.
It is past time for Megyn Kelly to go home and become a mother. OH she already is one and that’s only half a word. LOL
She lost a lot of Trump supporters when she bashed him and never was liked because of that and her holier than thou attitude!!Should stay home and write a book no one will buy!!;-(
Sure do hope they didn’t guarantee kelly any money if she fails.
Megyn Kelly was only watched, as her show followed Bill O Reilly’s. There was nothing spectacular about her show, her presence, her attacks on the left. Nothing good came following t her attack on Trump . That feud with Trump, has only embittered the Fox conservative audience. Kelly is not interesting, she is shrill, loud and more like an attack poodle, than a serious news anchor. Her own show? Maybe in her own basement/attic, but NOT ON TELEVISION!!
It’s the Katie Couric Effect all over again. The Fox organization fed her edgy material and let her go at it with an opinonated tilt. NBC (and She) wanted a more mass audience. She lost her edge and allowed the NBC Producers to make the show “60 Minutes” Lite. I truly don’t think the NBC audience held any grudge about her time at Fox and I don’t think the NBC audience is all that much more Liberal. O’Reilly may have helped but she had her own following after a few months. For her part, she’s always been very confident of her looks to carry the day. (not without reason). The Radio personality “Imus in the Morning” said in an interview from her early days “… Megyn Kelly = “I’m Hot, you’re not””. She and her agents were too greedy to respect the old wise cliche, “different horses for different courses”.
She Blew it. She got a Big Head and no longer was the Megan I knew. Stabbing Trump in the back was the last straw. She is nothing to me.
She deserves everything that she’s getting. Ya wanna play ya gotta pay. And she is getting her justice. ???. Bu bye to a very conceited thing.
Sweet !!
Megyn who?
Part of the problem is NBC itself. They are run by a homosexual and the network’s hate for Trump has my relatives and I so fed up it isn’t funny. I am tired of the baloney these media people pull on Trump because they glorified Obama who is responsible for millions of Christians being removed from their homes and thousands slaughtered in the middle east while Obama forked over money to ISIS directly and through other groups to get to ISIS. Trump has been responsible for none of this and so he gets the hate crap from the media. ABC seems to be overtaking NBC in this baloney. They heap love on cheap trick so called journalists and comedians looking for attention and blame Trump for the cheap trick journalists and comedians for starting the crap. Also, why are the republicans on the side of the cheap trick journalists and comedian trouble makers and not behind and standing up for Trump answering the creeps backs. Where is their backbone. Oh, I forgot, the republicans are secret democrats and have no backbone, balls neither.
Why do you think Obama hired Susan Rice? It was not her expertise at anything, but because she is married to ABC News director, Ian Cameron. Lying basturds.
Really, well I didn’t know who she was married to, nice to have someone in the right place to get you a job. Thanks, Noah. Nice to meet you.
Do not care what she does, won’t watch her again
She will probably wind up on CBSN or some other low ranked Liberal nutty news with someone like Left Matt Viser or anyone else as sorry as her like those ABC Prima donnas.
Megyn bllew when she went up Against Trump….he had the election in his pocket before he even announced his running..She is a Two Faced Lying overrated “journalist…who got what she deserved.
Who cares?
Ah, poor little B-itch. To bad, hope it never gets on track.
Her own self inflicted attitude, demeanor, and self importance has been her downfall.
I used to like her reporting and analysis a lot, but then she went after Roger Ailes and Donald Trump in a way i did not think was fair to them. she’s done a total nose dive since then and seems to have zero credibility now. She strikes me as a sellout now.
One wonders if all the demeaning comments about Mrs. Kelly reflect the envy of the owners of the comments? The consistency of the hateful comments forms a pattern, similar to the hateful comments about president Trump. Both sets of comments follow the DNC pattern of defamation. Which pattern follows that of the pattern of defamation used by the MOSSAD against Dr. Ron Paul, a few year back. Yet, NBC is one of the companies owned by the elite families that own the six mega-companies that control 96% of all western world media. http://tapnewswire.com/2015/10/six-jewish-companies-control-96-of-the-worlds-media/
Does the apparent two different stances within the elite families, that own all the major networks, suggest a split within the elite family group? Which, would of course, suggest that some of the group have managed to climb “out of the box” of familial propaganda beliefs. Which beliefs are based on fairy-tales, anyway.
Once you make your bed, jump in. Who besides Kelly gives a damn?
I have always said the move from Fox News would be unwise for her, and a lose for Fox as well. She deserved the fame she garnered at Fox and of course her following O’Reilly did a lot to bolster her career, but she was a bonafide talent on her own. Her dust up with Trump was not on called for or planned. She simply asked him to clarify and defend his willingness to be less than a gentleman dealing with women who attacked him for what ever reason. It was not an out of no where question, and Donald Trump should have been better prepared to answer it. Her tenacity in questioning President Obama sat well with the Fox News audience, but will not bode well for her new liberal based audience at NBC. A big mistake has been made on her part as well as the news organizations.
Fake news audiences would never accept her serve her right anyway
hey Megyn you cant even give that shit away anymore you wore out old dog..
She really got put in her place and looked like a fool when Newt Gingrich was on one of her last FOX NEWS programs being interviewed by her and she brought up the subject of sex in reference to Donald Trump. Gingrich accused her of being too preoccupied with sex instead of asking questions of substance. You could tell he caught her off guard by daring to question her priorities. She looked confused and flustered. She also looked pissed off by his audacity to question her subject matter. She did not know that she was better off at FOX. She blew it and her head got too big for her own good. I predict that her career will continue to flounder at NBC. She and FOX will miss Bill O’Reilly.
She really blow it. Dumb move……….
Megyn kelly had the biggest head on the tube. She made a major mistake by getting into it with Trump. The next mistake was going to NBC(Nasty Broadcasting Crap.That’s alright she made a ton why at Fox and NBC was so stupid they are going to lose millions on her.
Megan grew to believe she was really something special during her days at Fox. Reality is it takes a TEAM to achieve the kind of greatness she thought she had achieved. Taking on our now President of the United States, Donald Trump, during and well after the debates was testimony to what she thought of herself. I lost all respect for her subsequent to that obvious judgement error. As for her departure from FOX, she had every right to move on however I believe she should have done it with a little class. Hoped she had a little of that in her but obviously not.
