Multiple sources have confirmed to DailyMail.com that Megyn Kelly is out at NBC.
This move comes just 48 hours after the embattled host made remarks in which she defended blackface on Today.
Kelly tried to deal with the scandal by delivering a tearful apology on-air and welcoming two black panelists to discuss the fraught and horrifying history of the practice, but it did no good.
'Megyn Kelly is done. She is not ever coming back,' said an NBC executive with knowledge of the situation.
'We are just working out timing of the announcement but mark my word – she is gone and will never be seen on NBC live again.'
The source then added: 'Here’s the worst part – her deal is a non-break deal – so she walks away with all that money. It’s disgusting and heads should roll here because of it.'

Maybe BJ was told it was an “Isfro”?
I bet that at least 90% of the American public have no problem with Kelly’s blackface comment. I don’t.
If all she did was ask a question, then her next biggest mistake was to apologize for it. She should have doubled-down and stated that ‘it was just a question’, and that ‘we have to be able to ask questions in order to have discussions and debate’. By apologizing she admitted being guilty of something. They were never going to show her mercy.
That said, maybe she will rethink her life and priorities.
I bet you a week’s wages that they are going to call this a breech of her contract, and declare it null and void, due to her unethical comments, not living up to her side of the bargain or whatever. It will be cheaper in legal bills to fight her, and just pay her out.
After this, she’s of course done, as JUST ABOUT EVERYONE HERE PREDICTED. I SAID SHE’D BE OUT IN SIX MONTHS.
WHEN DID SHE START?
?Sources tell DailyMail.com there are tentative conversations about her returning to Fox News.”
OMG!!!! I sure hope not unless it’s to kick off Sam Shepherd or Louie Caputo.
NBC should change its name to NPC! What if white women wanted to dress up for Halloween as Aretha Franklin or Diana Ross, or men as Clarence Thomas or Marvin Gaye? Or what if black men/women wanted to dress up for Halloween as Donald or Melania Trump?
So neither race can EVER use Black or White face for Halloween costumes? Are you kidding me? I’m no Megyn Kelly fan, but this crap is ridiculous! NPC was NEVER going to accept her because she wasn’t ‘leftist elite’ enough for them - and horrors, she previously worked for Fox News....
” Return to FOX NEWS, whose viewers despise what they perceive as ‘political correctness’ and would likely welcome her back with open arms.”
Bull Shyte!!! She comes back to replace whom?
I don’t want her back but I’d love to see Brett Baier kicked off along with Mara Liasson and that midget dyke with the short, spiky hair.
I seem to recall I dressed up like a black hobo in High School...
Anyone recall the Eddie Murphy movies where he played white people?
"What a silly negro!"
Isn’t it nice to see both NBC and Megyn Kelly looking so bad? ;^)
Ofc she can’t be suffering too badly with $69M guaranteed, but I’m sure her pride as a “TV churnalist” is hurt.
Exactly. I think she thought she could be loved by everyone, now loved by nobody.
Judge Napolitano is terrible. I’ve noticed that whatever take he gives, it’s usually the opposite that’s true.
I don’t want her back either, but if she were smart, she’d be a full blown ra ra Trumper like the other gals on FOX, and she might get another chance.
NBC should have put her on as hard hitting news hound, instead of this early AM junk.
If she had a show like Laura Ingraham for example it might go.
The FOX lineup is fine. Caputo is a jerk, plain and simple. I learn nothing from what he says... zip nada.
Juan Williams, was picked up before tossed on the garbage heap trash at NPR...He’s got the yeoman’s job of taking the democrat side along with that big fat ugly dumb SOB that Laura Ingraham has on.
I don’t want fair and balanced.
Possibly meghan can have a “comeback” starring in an Al Jolson review? Just tryin’ to help...
She’s got this burning bridges down pat.
I wouldn't bet on that.
That is it in a nutshell. IF she had stuck to her guns NBC would have hesitated to fire her. As it was, her "admission" made it imperative.
There is probably a clause that says to get the money she won’t be able to work anywhere else during the term of the contract...
meaning...
When she goes somewhere else (if she does, that is), the new network will buy out the NBC contract.
I doubt NBC will lose the $69 million. I don’t see her retiring entirely.
Youre bad...
