NBC Insiders: ‘Total Panic’ Over Megyn Kelly’s Morning Show
Daily Beast ^ | August 30, 2017 | Lloyd Grove

Four weeks before the Sept. 25 debut of Megyn Kelly Today—the 9 a.m. replacement for the venerable morning show’s third hour, Today’s Take—some NBC insiders are expressing doubts, and even worries, about the network news division’s plan to scrap a reliable long-running program in order to morph the former Fox News anchor and Donald Trump nemesis into an accessible, female-friendly personality for an ethnically diverse daytime viewership.

Las Vegas over/under odds on when the Megyn morning show is pulled?

Is she still employed?

Oh, right, she’s preparing her new show.... wow, can’t say I will ever see it.

I’ll predict that she’s still there in January but gone by spring of 2018. But none of this is a shock...she just didn’t have any real draw. On Fox, she was lucky with the time-slot and the formula built for her show. Maybe if NBC gave her two years...it might eventually work, but I don’t think they have that kind of patience.

Maybe she could get together with Katie Couric for a reprise of Cagney and Lacey.

No. She has no appeal amongst the left. She thought she could betray the viewership she had and win the hearts of a more mainstream audience.

She is just screwed, period.

guy’s girl versus girl’s girl:

analytical versus warm-and-fuzzy

When she was at Fox, she fit in and balanced out a team of smart, hard-nosed, no-nonsense commentators and analysts.

At her current network, she’s expected to be a warm-and-fuzzy airhead.

NBC flushing more good money after bad down the toilet. Me again is a flop and the sooner that’s recognized the better .

Personally, I hope they don’t recognize it any time soon and continue to throw good money after bad.

Me-Again has use up her 15 minutes. However, because the brass at NBC has paid so much for a forgery, they will defend her in the face of all the evidence to the contrary.

I give it a year.

She was never that good, Fox had sort of a captive audience, liberals won’t trust her, and I say again she was never that good and got worse over time, plastic surgery only made her more ridiculous.

Maybe they could put her on after Late Night at 1 AM. Make it edgy, maybe have blood coming out of her eyes and ears. That’ll get ratings.

FOX news and Megan once owned “The” hour of primetime news. Until Megan tried to go all Rachel Maddow on Trump in his first debate. Now Rachel Maddow owns it... Megan Kelly can’t help herself, but FOX news... went with an aggressive male in a time slot that needs a smart, easy on the eyes female that won’t put up with liberal crap, like Tammy Bruce or maybe Trish Regan. Tucker Carlson needs another time slot if he can’t beat Rachel Maddow.

Whatever disaster each brings to the other, both NBC and Megyn deserve.

Tucker Carlson is opposite Chris Hayes. The Five is opposite Maddow.

They’ll give her 6 months as they did for Katie Couric, another empty mouth piece.

What can this woman tell me or anyone on this forum, that we don’t already know? She showed her colors during the debates.

She is a walking testimonial to the Peter Principle.
