Megyn Kelly off to rough start with NBC show’s premiere
Newsday ^ | June 4, 2017 | Verne Gay

Megyn Kelly launched her new magazine at NBC Sunday, and the stakes couldn’t have been much higher for either. Kelly, now among the highest paid personalities on network news (nearly $20 million per year), left Fox News for the network earlier this year, and will most likely secure another role on the morning schedule later this year, in addition to this one.

But first, she had to get through “Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly,” a magazine show which was also inaugurated with a piece by Cynthia McFadden investigation about an addictive drug produced by Insys Therapeutics, and another piece by Harry Smith about elephant poaching in Kenya.

Her lead-off piece was about the second most famous leader on the planet, Vladmir Putin. For her, the results were mixed. For Putin, the result was a slam dunk.

Meagain will have a short shelf life at NBC.

The take-away is that Putin told Kelly that the American media is waging war against President Trump. Hu can deny it?

In a wide-ranging interview that led Kelly’s inaugural broadcast, Putin spoke at length and unchallenged — and even appeared to have mastered a skill that American pundits spend years developing, the “pull-out quote,” AKA the memorable soundbite:

“You people are so creative over there,” he quipped. “Good job. Your lives must be boring.”

Then, this one: “Have you all lost your senses over there?”

Good job, indeed. Maybe Putin missed his calling — as a U.S. cable news primetime host.

I agree. Something pathetic about Megyn. Clearly she was overwhelmed. Some high school students would have conducted a more professional interview, a skill Megyn is lacking.

Megyn Kelly has had her fifteen minutes of fame. She has no substance, no depth, no class, no dignity, no purpose!!! Even her “sexy attire” does her little good!!! She is finished!!! Putin was playing with her, showing us all the total idiot and buffoon she is!!! NBC is too bright either!!!

I don’t see how NBC failed on the set design for that show. All they needed to add was the stripper pole and it would have been complete...

Credit to whoever on her staff managed to snag such a big name for a debut program, though.

I wonder if there was more to the interview that NBC left out, choosing to go only with the anti-Trump questions? Anybody would have known what his answers would be to the Russia/Trump collusion questions - he was going to deny it. She should have had some actual questions (ie. Syria, NATO, Turkey, Iran) to go to just to get something solid. It would have at least given us a glimpse of what Russia wants us to think of their motives and concerns on the geo-political world stage.

They only left in the stuff that wouldn’t totally embarrass themselves. LOL As for other questions, this interview was always and only about embarrassing Trump. The reason NBC hired her and the reason she flew the FOX chicken coup. She is a lefty, always has been and always will be. Her only claim to fame was that disastrous debate with the Rosie questions. More stupidity from her is no surprise.

I think when Trump and Putin get together, they will become good buds.

That would explain my overwhelming desire to throw dollar bills at her..

Reminds me of Katie Couric’s disastrous start anchoring the CBS Evening News.

What did she wear?

I didn't watch the thing but I heard that, as usual, she dressed like a tramp.

The picture at the link however shows her in a pair of white slacks and a pretty plain top.

What's the deal?
