NBC Touts Megyn Kelly’s Softer Side in Bid to Launch New Morning Show
Variety ^ | September 21, 2017 | Brian Steinberg

Megyn Kelly is best known as the hard-edged news anchor who wasn’t afraid to push back on conservative orthodoxy at Fox News Channel. Her new employer, NBC Universal, is trying to trot out a softer side.

As NBC prepares to launch a new morning show led by the much-scrutinized Kelly, it has unleashed a promotional salvo that speaks less about her news chops and instead tries to unveil other facets of her personality. One recent promo shows Kelly shaking hands with people in a supermarket and at a baseball stadium, and suggests her program, “Megyn Kelly Today,” is “not about us versus them. It’s about us for everyone.” She’s sharing space on an NBCU billboard in Times Square that depicts her offering up a hot cup of coffee. In a video posted on her new show’s Twitter feed, she reveals a fondness for “Overboard,” the 1987 comedy featuring Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn.

I was watching Fox News and all of a sudden I see Megyn's fading beauty mug on tv. She was saying these sappy cliches. At the end I see it was an ad for her upcoming Today Morning show. NBC is trying to turn a pitbull into a cocker spaniel.

It's a bait and switch.

She can't erase her interview with President Trump.

Just ride off into the sunset.....pleeeeeez....or join your kind on the View which I'm betting is where she will wind up.

So, is she going to ‘bake cakes’. Sorry, but she’s a bitch and everyone who watches her knows it, and that includes us as well as those on the left (for different reasons though).

Good luck Megan, you won’t have it.;

Why would a “Star” need to show a softer side?
NBC is in a desperate attempt to repackage a stinking turd.

NBC Touts Megyn Kelly’s Softer Side

Does this mean she will only be interviewing Democrats?

Ok...Let’s see. The big wigs... these smart people who paid this lady millions have come up with this so far.

Big Wigs @ NBC:Ok, Megyn we need to recreate your image. Let’s book you on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. The plan here is to have you come across as not being remotely conservative and pro Trump. ON the contrary, we want you to come down hard, saying that...ah...Trump, yeah Trump himself caused you to leave your job @ Fox.

Megyn:Exactly how did he do that?

Big Wigs @ NBC:Ah...Hmmmm.... Let’s see. Ok, how about, his tweets, his treatment of women, his over all bullying made you fearfull, that you couldn’t report objectively and so, you quit to work for a news organization that had greater ethical standards of journalism. You know, throw out something like that.

Megyn:Ok. He intimidated me, he harassed me, and I needed to leave a station that over all supported him.

Big Wigs @ NBC:Yeah, something like that. We’ll have signs that will ask the audience to yell and clap with approval when you say this.

Megyn:Let me write this down. Ok, got it. What else?

Big Wigs @ NBC: Ok that will endear you with your new colleagues and the left. We need secondly to show another side of you. Everyone thinks you’re this Bit*h. Plus that interview on Howard Stern made you look like a sex pot. So, let’s show the softer side of you, that might appeal to women of all ages.

Megyn: GOt it.

Fact is, it doesn’t matter. 6 months from now, she’ll be out. Let’s pray that Trump doesn’t waste time tweeting about her, good or bad.

Awwww. After Kelly spent a year+ trying to hone her image as ‘not soft’.

Who wants to be in the room when the producer asks her to bake cookies?

She’ll bake cookies in her first week. Maybe with Hillary.

Its obvious that the network has been struggling to find a place for her, but she’s got too much baggage and no clear persona.

She blew her big opportunity at Fox when she went off against Trump. She was unprofessional, mean spirited, and smarmy. That fiasco has haunted her ever since.

She is damaged goods.
