‘Megyn Kelly Today’: Celebrities Refuse to Appear as Ratings Collapse
Big Journalism ^ | 10/13/17 | John Nolte

Posted on 10/13/2017 6:10:09 PM PDT by markomalley

As we predicted after the Jane Fonda debacle two weeks ago, celebrities are blacklisting Megyn Kelly’s third hour of Today.

Variety reports that publicists have no desire for their clients to sit down with Kelly. Bad reviews and even worse ratings are only part of the problem. From out of the gate, Kelly bungled celebrity interview after celebrity interview. And now, no one wants to put a client through that potential embarrassment:

“I’m not booking anyone on her show,” says a high-powered publicist, with a roster of big names, who asked for anonymity due to her overall relationship with “Today.” “I literally haven’t pitched anyone even from right out the gate. The buzz that is out there is so bad.”

Another well-known publicist, who represents one of the celebrities who has appeared on Kelly’s show, wasn’t pleased with the interview. “I won’t plan to have others go on,” the publicist said. “None specifically have been offered or asked to, but it’ll be my preference not to.”

It’s time for Megyn take that $15-20 million she’s getting from NBC, and start thinking about investing in 5-8 McDonald’s restaurants. She might be finished in the News/information/talk-show business.

Her “harvest” also includes tens of millions of dollars. So I don’t fell too sorry for her.

the debate was her fork-in-the-road. Megan took the bad way.
She’s in waste land.

Schadenfreude!

She is losing her ratings and also losing her looks. No one wants to see an aging old hag feminist on TV in the morning. No one. Yes, she is making money. But skanks like MK cannot stand being ignored. For her, wealth comes second to popularity. Eventually, she will have neither.

If you want to know what’s wrong with both parties, just watch how this woman is being treated by both sides. So sad.

Are you serious? Kelly went from being a serious, hard-nosed journalist to a shill for the GOPe and wanting to be liked by the Hollywood Left.

Trump is proven right again! The "wherever" in "bleeding from the eyes and wherever" now includes her “ratings."

Rather than the gynecological “wherever” anti-Trumper tried to smear him with.

“Kelly’s biggest problem is that she has no audience. The left will never forgive the former Queen of Fox News, and everyone else sees her as a grasping schemer who tried to tank Donald Trump’s presidential campaign as a means to advance her own career.”

exactly what myself and other here predicted when it was first announced that NBC had hired her. amazing that Freepers can easily see what the grossly overpaid execs at NBC are oblivious to. i guess their ignorance is because of that tiny echo chamber bubble they and their like never leave. No doubt these same people believed their own polls were gospel that hillary had a 99% chance of winning and were shocked that she lost.

Is she only a "serious, hard-nosed journalist" when she agrees with you?

I'd say she was being pretty hard-nosed with Trump and that didn't win her any friends here.

But because she was at Fox News she doesn't have much of a following with the "Hollywood Left" either.

Her first problem was thinking it was 1980 and the three networks mattered.

What she had at FNC was really better than anything NBC could give her.

Her second problem was not understanding that she was a night person, not a morning person.

More specifically, she was the kind of woman who a lot of women don't like.

She could have pivoted from Fox to CNN if she'd wanted to.

Newspeople do stuff like that all the time, but she's just no good in a people-oriented, happy talk show.

Her colossal arrogance brought her exactly what she deserved:

Change the course of history? No, only fittingly the course of her own career.

btw, the leftist enemedia is massively piling on Kelly simply because she was a former darling at “conservative” FNC.

Kelly started believing her own paycheck and press and stepped in her chili, with the choices she made. Her arrogance became clinical.

Remember in the lead-up to the debate that fateful night, she hyped it by saying “ this night everything can be changed” knowing she would try to single handedly try to bring Trump down.

That night is when he became Teflon. We saw how vicious she was and therefore it backfired. After that, nothing against him could stick. That’s how bad it was.

She should stick to her gig-reporting.I turned in for 5 minutes at the end of her show and it looked pretty bad.She was shaking her butt for what reason I don’t know and announced the winner to be on next show Kathy Lee and Friend who were live on screen and looked liked they had to put up with her even though she is pulling their ratings down.Megyn can be what ever she wants to be she got the contact.

Megyn asked Jane Fonda to talk about her plastic surgeries. No one else wants to be asked questions like that.
