After Kelly’s controversial and much-hyped interview with Alex Jones tanked by again failing to beat out reruns of 60 Minutes and America’s Funniest Home Videos, New York radio host Mark Simone tweeted on Monday that NBC is trying to unload Kelly and convince Fox News to take her back.
But a high-ranking Fox News source told Breitbart News that there is “no way” Kelly could come back to the network. Quite simply, the source told Breitbart News, Kelly “would not be welcomed back.”
Simone also suggested that if Kelly becomes more toxic and her ratings tank even more, “NBC will have to take her off the network,” and “if they are stuck with her, they’ll give her an MSNBC show.”
NBC reportedly invested nearly $20 million a year to bring Kelly to the network, and NBC’s investment has not paid any dividends at all. After her interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Kelly was mocked for being way out of her league.
Her interview with Jones did not have any news value and may have damaged NBC’s and her reputation more than it helped.
Yet despite all of the hype, Kelly’s interview with Jones still flopped. 60 Minutes and America’s Funniest Home Videos reruns even beat Kelly’s show by nearly 40 percent in the coveted 18 to 49-year-old demographic, as Concha noted.
A television executive told CNN over the weekend that NBC’s “fundamental mistake” was thinking that Kelly was actually a “superstar.” NBC executives have already reportedly determined that viewers are not going to tune in to Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly just to watch Kelly and are “freaking out” over the “ratings disaster” that is Kelly.

Oh well........there’s always Playboy
I was about to say “Escort Service”.
There is a God.
She had a good run, but now she’s outgrown her britches. Put a fork in her...she’s done.
And she will be blaming Trump for her back problems.
Me-Again’s broadcasting career seems to be heading for Deborah Norville-Land sooner than expected.
Hey Meghan, how is being surrounded by fellow liberals working out for ya..I assume not well..poor NBC, she’s YOUR problem now
LOL! The still don't "get" us.
Maybe MeAgain can become a porn star.
In the long run I’d say her looks have done her more harm than good.
When Rachel Maddow gives the impression of being a much nicer person, you’re in trouble. Megyn has the same likability as does Hillary.
Well at least she was able to pocket i don’t know how many Millions.
Next shareholder meeting should be pretty interesting...
“In the long run I’d say her looks have done her more harm than good.”
She started out cute and smart. When she became so full of herself, both of those traits quickly vanished.
Megan will have to resort to showing snatch on TV to get viewers.
At 46, is she too old to be pole dancer?
Would you welcome your wife back if you knew she’d been out screwing around?
It suddenly struck me that it was like she tried to become the female Bill O’Reilly.
I suspect she’s not too welcome at NBC about now.
She bet her career on HilLIARy winning, and being best buddies with the first woman president.
And lost.
