Who here remembers “Hello Larry”? I believe that was another attempt by McLean to have another starring vehicle that did not quite get off the ground. I also remember him being a semi-regular on “Match Game” (he would sit in Richard Dawson’s old spot after Richard himself quit that show).

She is mean-spirited and sharp-tongued. So unattractive.

Me-again knows that her looks are chiefly what pays the bills and that beauty is fleeting. She’s desperate to leverage those looks to make as much cash as possible before they fade away and she finds herself reporting sports news on some backwater podunk TV station.

One America News (OANN) is truly a rising star.
No way would they associate with a loser has-been like Megyn Kelly.
OANN has excellent programs with terrific insights.

She got crosswise with O’Reilly who felt she should have been more deferential for helping her along, and evidently was something of a prima donna. I happened to like her smart-mouth style, having a similar trait myself, but I can see that her style is not what many have come to expect from news people at the peacock network. The model seems to be more “rise from the NBC ranks” than to bring in “superstars” from the outside.

FoxNews discounted her quickly after her hour-special on Fox Channel got dismal ratings. That was probably what cost her a big raise at FoxNews.

“...Remember Katie Couric?...”
***************************************
Vaguely. I remember when she used to be referred to as “perky”. While channel surfing I saw what she looks like now. “Perky” is no longer appropriate to describe her -— “spry” would be the word that comes to mind now.

Same as the Paul Simon effect who ditched Garfunkel for a losing solo career. He never recovered.

Think about it. She left a $20 million/year sure thing at Fox News to go to NBC. NOT a smart move.

Does anybody remember Herv Villachaise? He played the part of the midget on Fantasy Island. He thought there was big market for little people who say “Boss, da plane, da plane.” So much for that career.

And then there is the sad solo career of Jerry Lewis after the split from Dean Martin.

It has been my experience as a Christian that, when God opens a door, you go in until God moves you out and/or closes the door.

Everything about Kelly seems to be focused around her and her desires.

Now I'm not trying to foist Christian principles and ethics on perhaps a non believer, but there are still laws that operate in the world that are often unexplainable, Murphy's Law, The Peter Principle (etc.) and I think Kelly has chosen her own path out of what was a superb job before she jumped on Trump and rather than apologize, she's danced all around it.

I'll give her TWO years, one for the start-up enthusiasm and the "inspection" and a slow burn down and out.

When Benedict Arnold defected to the British, the British Officers were always suspicious to him.

Don’t forget how John Travolta went into oblivion after leaving “Welcome Back Kotter”.

He did not have a happy life. Though he was a midget (under four feet tall), he had normal size organs which put enormous pressure on his small body. He was in near constant pain in his later years.
