Megyn Kelly’s career at NBC continues to be called into question.
The ratings for her Sunday night news magazine show have been in the tank.
Now it’s gone off the air in a stunning move.
After just four episodes, Kelly’s show was pulled from NBC’s lineup and replaced with a rerun of Dateline.
And in a dreadful development for Kelly, the years old episode of Dateline earned more viewers than fresh episodes of her program.
Breitbart reports:
“Megyn Kelly’s Sunday newsmagazine show took a week off, and a Dateline rerun promptly got more viewers than Kelly’s last show.
Two weeks ago, Kelly’s Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly had its lowest ratings to date, averaging a “0.4 rating in adults 18-49 and 3.4 million viewers.” Last night, a Dateline rerun on NBC averaged a .5 rating in the 18-49 demo and got 3.73 million total viewers compared to the 3.4 million viewers Kelly got the week before, according to Nielsen data.
The fact that a rerun of Dateline got more viewers than Kelly’s last show in her 7 p.m. time slot on a holiday weekend when many television viewers were out barbecuing or at the beach may lead NBC to consider whether the show is worth putting back on the air after football season. CNN recently pointed out that television executives have already been wondering whether the show will get axed.”
NBC stated that Kelly’s show was given a one week break and would return, but a rerun of a similar news magazine style program getting more viewers than Kelly’s initial episodes have led many to question the long term viability of her show and Kelly’s future at NBC.
Did anybody notice that NBC dropped Megyn Kelly this weekend and ran Dateline instead on Sunday night?

Inside scoop: NBC now trying to get rid of Megyn Kelly. Even trying to get FOX to buy out her contract and take her back.
— MARK SIMONE (@MarkSimoneNY) June 19, 2017
But Breitbart reported Fox News has no interest in having her back:
“But a high-ranking Fox News source told Breitbart News that there is “no way” Kelly could come back to the network. Quite simply, the source told Breitbart News, Kelly “would not be welcomed back.”
NBC begins televising NFL football on Sunday nights in the fall.
Then in February they will broadcast the Winter Olympics.
That means Kelly’s show is scheduled for a month’s long hiatus.
NBC could use the time to retool the show and give it a splashy reboot.
Or they could just pull the plug entirely and use the time off as a way to bury the news so as to avoid the public embarrassment of their high priced acquisition failing right out of the gate.
We will keep you updated on any new developments in this story.
Choices have consequences. Kelly, thought she was bigger than she is. What she did not realize is that Bill O and Sean H. watchers were a big part of her ‘ score ‘. In other words … she was ” big ” only because of her time slot between – Bill and Sean.
If I was NBC, I would cash out her contract and just cut the loss.
I hope NBC had some type of “minimum performance requirements” built into that contact. But then, they deserve what they get. They should have know she was a nothing big mouth”. Another Gretchen Carlson; over the hill but can’t accept it.
This could happen to a nicer person.
Once Kelly turned on Trump,
she was history!
She thought she could get away with slamming the Donald.
That was her downfall!
Had she befriended Trump, she was on her way to stardom!
Bet she’d like to cut her tongue out for ridiculing the candidate who would become our 45th President, but she, along with the rest of the world, never thought he would be the President of the U.S.
Poor judgement on her part and now she must reap the consequences!!
Sad saga! ?
The people that thought Trump could never be elected are the ones that were so far out of tough with America society it is actually comical now. America is NOT a socialist country. And before it ever gets to be one the American people patriots will take the necessary action. I truly believe that.
Kelly arrogance and smugness is her downfall …who wants to watch somebody who thinks they’re doing you a favor by letting you watch her ??
Ahh, Poor little B-itch. Megyn is getting her due. HaHaHaHaHaHa
I tuned in, to see what her show was “All about.” I got a rerun of “dateline”, which was pretty good, surprise, surprise. I use to “Like her”, on FNC, But Not anymore. A little “Uppity,” now. I see where ex Fox member. Greta, GOT axed from her show as well. I guess, the Gals, don’t do very well, after leaving FNC.
Imagine THAT?…On the other hand, could the large audience have tuned in for Kelly, then finding her off just stuck with the DATELINE show?
It just might have been her big night…finally…??? Yeah, right.
After just four episodes, Kelly’s show was pulled from NBC’s lineup and replaced with a rerun of a guy painting a wall – actually the wall was already painted, but you can watch as it dries..
Hahahahahaha!
Remove her period
This is the way to clean up the MSM. Do not watch their shows. That is what freedom means. Money lost gets a quick reply.
I’ve been saying that for years. Hit them in the pocketbook, & they’ll change soon enough. Look at what’s happening to Target from people boycotting them for allowing men in women’s restrooms, & dressing rooms. If we don’t give them our money, they’ll soon beg us to come back.
Exactly. The Target, in my area has closed. I quit shopping there, when they added their bathroom/changing room policy. No big loss. We have Walmart and Meijer.
should take her off show for good
Bye Bye Megyn. (Maybe if you had learned to spell Megan…..nah, thats probably not it!) Now she can go completely Kathy Griffin and blame Mr. President Trump for her failure too. Watch for her to come out as who she really is … a moon bat liberal news READER!
Oh Lordy!
Before she had her own show on FNC, the wife and I actually liked her. But then, very shortly after her show debuted, the true Megyn Kelly came out. Arrogant; she believed her own BS. And crossing the Donald in the fashion that she did was the end for us. We would watch O’Reilly, change the channel to something else, then back to Hannity. Then she went to Trump Tower and asked to speak to the Donald, which the President-Elect graciously allowed, and we thought, well maybe this will end the feud. But almost immediately she went on the vicious attack again, pretty much like a liberal would do, and that’s when we realized that although she claimed to be an Independent, she was in fact a f*^king liberal, and you cannot trust a liberal as far as you can throw one.
After the way Kelly treated Trump during the debates she is getting just what she deserves. Actions have consequences.
RINO reporters like Megan K don’t get it. Trump won
Politically correct Fascist Liberals Journalists in GOP clothing are being rooted out and tossed in the trash bin. It’s a steady process and Kelly is one of the first that the public…. get it? One of the first the public has tossed.
Write you memoir Megan. Title it like “I tried to undermine Conservatism and was caught” or “I prostituted my integrity for money in Leftist Journalism”, Hey when the Memoir doesn’t sell the NRA can always pass those unsold copies to NRA members for ballistic testing. 🙂
I was of the impression that she was gone already.I quit watching her before she left Fox.She always seems to think that she is much better than anyone else.Can’t stand her or her ways.Let NBC keep paying her and when she see’s that she is on the way out I am sure she will sue them for something,maybe sexual problems with the NBC bosses.
Liberalism is a sickness, sooner the msm goes broke most of it will self heal and disappear.
People that were her fans have been disillusioned. She’s been considered a conservative since she worked for Fox. Her fans didn’t follow her because they consider her a traitor. She can’r blame anybody but herself.
could have seen that coming this is likely to be her last chance on tv
Kelly has a lot of knowledge and needs to use it at NBC because they don’t seem to have their act together and are going down because they can’t tell the truth.
I’ve NOT watched the program and have NO intention to watch the hateful Witch!!!
Justice.
Karma is a Bitch !
At this point in time Kelly is nothing but a pile of “toxic waste”. Could not have happened to a more deserving individual. NBC is a Leftist propaganda machine so if she can’t work there who the hell would want her? And she hasn’t been at NBC long enough to be able to play the often used “sexual harassment card”. Maybe she can get a gig with Maury Povich or that other “old coot” that is hawking some Omega 3 product. Can’t remember his name anymore.
News casters need to report the news without giving you their perspective. The audience should not know their political views. Commentators put spin on their stories but do not need to cast them with venom. People got turned off with Megan Kelly’s attitude. I will not watch her.
She made her own bead! Now she must lay in it!
Dateline is actually quite good!! Way better than lectures from Kelly!!
The public doesn’t stick with someone that pretends to be something their not.
If she is going to make it on NBC show, she has to become a left wing nut. Her show has to be about how bad it is in the USA. She needs talk to the people that hate the country and tell them how right they are. She need to tell the people how dumb they are and we need government to take care of us because we are just to dumb to do it our self. She needs to put hate groups like BLM on and tell them they are right and they should be running the country. She should try this and I bet it will work. Let wing NBC plays to the left wing nuts so you have to make the nuts happy.
She is laughing all the way to the bank. Who ever hired her should be fired.
In the ‘real’ world you deal with fact. I suppose Megyn would have been well advised to keep her personal political agenda…personal.
Megyn who?
Nothing more than an Ameriphobic hack.
Well Kelly baby, bad mouth Trump and I won’t watch you, not that I ever did. What’s that old saying……you’re big only in your own mind.
I was one who watched Dateline…..never watch Megyn Kelly. Too full of self-importance….arrogant and boring. Jjb is right, she had Bill O and Sean H as bookends holding her up. Once Bill was gone she was reduced to a big fat “O”.
Remember “perky” little Katie? Gone! Remember “cool” Brian Gumbel? Gone!
We’ll remember “smart” Megyn, but she’ll be gone! If someone paid you $20M then told you to just stay home, would you be upset?
She bit the hand that fed her, and offended most of her viewers. Now she suffers the consequences! Attacking Trump on a supposedly conservative program, also was a dumb move!
Nobody likes a turncoat. Simple as that!
“Frankly my dear,,,I don’t give a damn.”
Oh dear,,,poor little rich girl. She is laughing all the way to the bank. We are jealous.
Kelly’s show sucks everything about it You can only knock a man so many times before the people start to get sick of it & that’s what happen here I think if Kelly was to come back & surprise us all by having a few entire shows on anyone or anything but Trump, I am not saying to drop talking about Trump just have a few shows without a word about him.
She’s pretty much shot her self in the foot by alienating both sides. The leftists hate her because she came from FOX and the conservatives loathe her for selling them out, so she has NO fan base! The joke’s on NBC who’s stuck with her failing show for quite a pretty penny at that!!
NBC & Megan Kelly deserve each other!
How do I get rid of the crap propaganda (side-bar?) that pops-up when I come to this site
What the hey? All the media does is lambaste Trump and promote the Dems… I don’t care who it is – ABC, NBC, CBS and ESPECIALLY CNN! Want to know who tampered with the last election? I just named ’em! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d2a4cb6faa1f304bc1a3205e3521b57f42df4c39fba4c51d12ee91d3aafa595f.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5b7d5cdedce77cca7dac5ff0e66feb7bc921cd707ac39aebaef61b2ea1b050cb.jpg
Her ratings are higher than she deserved. Her recent false news fiasco and her big ego have come to roost.
Kelly sucked when she was at FOX and she still sucks at NBC.HA!HA!
NBC got what they wanted —- LOSERS…..
So glad I couldn’t stand her when she was on Fox her better than thou attitude turns everybody off NBC should just bring back all their liars.
She’s going and Constipated News Network is next. When was last time CNN put out a real news story? I don’t never watched them but someone should be able to answer this question?” I only see the clips of them on FOX.
So long, Megyn, it’s been good to know you.
I blame a large part of your show’s lack of success on being associated with a network whose viewership was completely different than Fox News. And NBC did a poor job of trying to attract your former viewers, for which they deserve eternal shame.
I had given some thought to watching your show, but decided not to when I read that your show was going to specialize in hit pieces against certain individuals. I became appalled that NBC decided that they were going to promote your show in ways that would make me gag, so I decided not to allow the network to win.
Kelly is a FOX and should have stayed there even if she had to settle for less. She sure is not worth 25 million.
If they had just showed her legs it might have had a chance.
Bye,bye,Kelly. Perhaps you can co-host a small sports show with Chris Christie.
