Megyn Kelly will be staying home next month when her fellow NBC stars travel to South Korea for the Olympics raising new questions about the standing of NBC News highest paid star.
The Olympics is a command performance for any high-profile star or executive at the Peacock Network, which has paid nearly $1 billion to broadcast the 2018 Pyeongchang Games in the United States. While its unclear if Kelly made the decision to stay home herself, its unusual nonetheless.
NBC traditionally sends its entire panoply of news stars to the games, and true to form, both the Today show and Nightly News will broadcast live from Pyeongchang for the duration of the games, focusing their news programs almost entirely on games coverage. NBC executives, as well as head honchos from parent company Comcast, also travel to the games to hobnob, attend receptions and watch sporting events.
Fox News has confirmed, however, that Kelly, who makes about $23 million a year, will not join her fellow stars in South Korea. Instead, her troubled 9 a.m. hour of Today will broadcast Olympics coverage from its usual studio in New Yorks Rockefeller Center, according to TVNewser.

Insisted on a special from Pyongyang and an interview with little rocket man?
Hell lecture America on possession of firearms. Hes a constitutional mental midget.
Her 30 mins of pay is abut equal to what I get aid for two weeks
This fight with the NBC Executives began when she refused to have Trump bashers come on her show the Execs wanted that she didn’t.
The more houses and yachts that millionaires buy, the more people need to be employed to build those houses and yachts.
Yes. Exactly.
I mean , and by NBC...they didn't even have a counter-programming reason to remove her from Fox!
I think Megyn is overpaid but its because its her.
Megan put Trump in the WH.
Cut her some slack.
You have a problem with how much she’s making? Take it up with NBC’s Board of Directors.
Do I care what she makes or what she does? Absolutely NOT!
Move on..........
“I think Megyn is overpaid but its because its her.”
She asked for it and got it.
I’m not a stockholder of NBC (or its parent company) so for me it’s just watch and see what happens next.
>>Maybe she has a charm bracelet from the FBI and isn’t allowed out if the country.

Ha, charm bracelet. I like that. Maybe an ankle bracelet, lol.
Because of the stds. We have to keep the athletes healthy.
Just greed in my opinion.
Your inner Democrat is showing!
Finally got the hint .... didn’t want to be embarrassed in front of the world by an overpaid bimbo.
Yeah, tell that to the poor slobs out of work, or making 10 an hour. Go ahead. Trickle this! :)
I’m an independent pro life, pro 2nd Amendment, pro 4th and 5th Amendment Constitutionalist libertarian. Not a Dim or a GOPe Republican. I calls ‘em as I sees ‘em. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
So, everyone is supposed to be in lockstep with the party line? Please go back and read George Orwell again. Thank you.
LOL! OK, Barack, whatever you say...
Ah to be such a purist as you.
BTW, is there ANYTHING that you disagree with in the Republican party?
Conversely, is there anything you agree with that the Democratic party?
How about your religious (other political party) scriptures?
Anything? If not, that makes you a fanatic.
If so, it makes you a heretic. Which is it?
