NBC News made a fundamental mistake when its network executives thought Megyn Kelly was a super star, according to a television executive CNN interviewed.
Kelly, the former Fox News talent, has come under fire for her interview with Alex Jones, which is set to air on this Sunday on her Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly show.
Theyve made a fundamental mistake about Megyn which is they think shes a super star, the television executive reportedly told CNN. What she is is a cable star, and that is a very different solar system.
While promoting her show, Kelly told numerous outlets that she felt like she was born to be a mainstream media star. In a leaked recording that was released this week, Kelly even tells Alex Jones, Im a combination of Mike Wallace, Oprah Winfrey and Larry the Cable Guy. Kelly was resoundingly mocked after Jones released the audio.
Mainstream media reporters and the families of the Sandy Hook victims also lambasted Kelly for telling Jones in the leaked audio, Its not gonna be some gotcha hit piece, I promise you that.
CNN boss Jeff Zucker said that Kellys interview will only work if she is holding up a picture of the dead kids at Sandy Hook and saying, How dare you?
After her supposedly hard-hitting interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Kelly did not receive stellar reviews even from her new mainstream media peers. Her interview with Erin Andrews for her second show did not draw rave reviews either.
According to reports, NBC executives are realizing already that people are not tuning in to watch Megyn. NBC executives are reportedly freaking out over the ratings disaster that Kelly has turned out to be, questioning the networks $15 million investment in Kelly.

I call bullshit.
Their paid whore didn’t pay off.
Who to cheer for NBC or Megyn......It’s like the Iran Iraq war all over again.
She was the first one to trash Trump. I haven’t watched her since.
Her problem. LOL
I don't think that's a very good hybrid!
BS,Their paid whore didnt pay off.
isnt that what the article is about?
NBC could have bought at least two Bionic Women for those millions.
And that’s why they all celebrated her.
Megyn Kelly was a star on FNC when she seemed like a tough conservative.
She sold out or was just a pandering whore. Take your pick.
It was a gotcha hit piece alright. It was MeGYN that got hit.
Isn’t there some way that they can both lose? Oh, wait... they both are losing.
Ahhh, how the mighty have fallen..
Of course it was a bad hire. Everyone (besides NBC) knew it. She alienated conservatives with her treatment of Trump. Liberals have always hated her since she worked for Fox. She hit the wall awhile ago and she has a horrible personality.
I don’t think anyone was running to Fox News to watch her either. They handed her a great time slot. Anyone who watched Fox just left it on the channel. They weren’t necessarily watching because of her.
The corporate dinosaur media are pro-abortion, from the top executives to the doormen. Which is to say they are psychopaths incapable of evaluating anything rightly. They are blind to all authentic values. They are especially blind to the qualities of people.
She's simply another in a long line of those who went up against Trump and his supporters and lost big.
Next.
After her premiere episode with Putin, her ratings dropped by about one-half for her second show. It will be interesting to see where the numbers land tonight.
No surprise. Her big one-hour special on Fox Channel about election time was a big bust last year. She only got about the same viewer numbers as her nightly FoxNews program.
While at FoxNews, we tolerated Meghan Kelly as she was sandwiched between Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity.
And she's not getting any younger. The news babes have a much earlier sell by date.
