NBC host Megyn Kelly fired back at Jane Fonda during her daytime talk show Monday, saying the actress has “no business lecturing anyone” on what is and isn’t appropriate in the public eye. Ms. Kelly had an uncomfortable moment with Ms. Fonda in September on her talk show “Megyn Kelly Today” after she asked the actress about her past plastic surgeries, which Ms. Fonda had been outspoken about while speaking with other outlets. “We really want to talk about that now?” Ms. Fonda asked at the time, changing the subject. She later complained to ET Canada that the line of...

Megyn Kelly's Today show is facing claims it is a 'completely toxic' environment where staff including young female assistants are 'abused and harassed' by executives who 'scapegoat' and launch f-word tirades, a bombshell email obtained by DailyMail.com reveals.

The decision not to send Megyn Kelly to the 2018 Winter Olympics with the rest of NBC's top team is 'embarrassing' according to one insider.

Bottom-ranked NBC news host Megyn Kelly is refusing to host Michael Wolff on her show to talk about his new anti-Trump book, "Fire and Fury:Inside the Trump White House." According to the New York Post: President Donald Trump isn’t the only person who columnist and author Michael Wolff has recently left in a shaking rage. “Today” anchor Megyn Kelly refused to host Wolff on her show when he was promoting his book “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House” last week. That's interesting because she is known for begging, borrowing and stealing any news "get," or interview, on whatever...

When the sexual misconduct scandal involving Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein exploded in October, Megyn Kelly had an idea. "She started thinking about writing a book," an insider recently told Life & Style. She felt she had unique insight since before joining NBC and the Today show in 2017, she’d spent years at Fox News, which had been embroiled in its own sexual harassment scandals — including some she knew about firsthand. Then, when Megyn’s Today colleague Matt Lauer, 60, was fired in late November after his misconduct was exposed, "that lit a fire under her," the source shared. Now Megyn’s...

Multiple sources tell Page Six that Megyn Kelly is now gunning for Matt Lauer’s job with the top “Today” host out. Kelly, who hosts the 9 a.m. hour of NBC’s “Today,” also offered herself as a role model for younger female staffers at NBC News who may be weighing sexual-harassment claims.

'Megyn Kelly Today' seemed to get a new host this week, as viewers were introduced to party rock Megyn. That Megyn talked about boozy lunches, broke out in dance when Pitbull started playing and even threw to commercial break while still busting a move. She also joked about being hungover after an outing with a co-worker, and to finish out the week downed a Jell-O shot on air. Or rather, tried to down a Jell-O shot.

Megyn Kelly’s slot of the “Today” show desperately needs a ratings boost after less than a month on the air. On Thursday, Hoda Kotb, the ever-upbeat popular “Today” host from another hour appeared as a guest. They chatted. They danced. They tried to get the audience on its feet dancing, too. Critics hated the moment. “I’ve never been so embarrassed,” tweeted BuzzFeed News’s Kate Aurthur. “I feel nothing but second-hand embarrassment for Megyn Kelly,” chimed in media critic Ian Miles Cheong. Vulture called the clip “22 nearly unbearable seconds.”

Hot Chicken Takeover was on the Megyn Kelly portion of the TODAY show, Thursday morning to talk about the company’s success and business model. “We’re grateful to be able to share our story on a national platform like this,” shares Hot Chicken Takeover’s Founder, Joe DeLoss.

'Megyn Kelly Today' may still be finding its footing, but the show's host already seems committed to at least one ongoing segment. Megyn managed to blunder her exchange with a living legend for the second time in two weeks on Tuesday when she welcomed NBC News veteran Tom Brokaw on the program.

It is politics as usual over on 'Megyn Kelly Today.' One week after the former Fox News host kicked off her new NBC morning show by stating she was turning her back to politics, a source tells DailyMail.com that Megyn will be hosting a town hall on gun control Tuesday to kick off the second week of her program. Megyn will be joined by Tom Brokaw and psychiatrist Jeff Bauman on the panel.

One day after actress Debra Messing revealed that she regretted going on Megyn Kelly's new NBC morning show, the embattled host managed to draw the ire of an even bigger Hollywood star. Megyn sat down with Oscar-winning screen icon Jane Fonda on Wednesday, and in an ill-advised and poorly convinced move, decided to ask the 79-year-old actress to detail the plastic surgery she has had done over the years. 'You, you've been an example to everyone, on how to age beautifully and with strength. And unapologetically,' began Megyn, nervously drawing out her question.

Though Megyn Kelly has offered few specifics about what her NBC morning show will be like, she is happy to try a few analogies. “If a news show and a talk show had a baby, that’s us,” she said of “Megyn Kelly Today,” which starts Monday, in an interview from her fifth-floor corner office at Rockefeller Plaza. “It’s newsy, and it’s talky.”

Megyn Kelly is best known as the hard-edged news anchor who wasn’t afraid to push back on conservative orthodoxy at Fox News Channel. Her new employer, NBC Universal, is trying to trot out a softer side. As NBC prepares to launch a new morning show led by the much-scrutinized Kelly, it has unleashed a promotional salvo that speaks less about her news chops and instead tries to unveil other facets of her personality. One recent promo shows Kelly shaking hands with people in a supermarket and at a baseball stadium, and suggests her program, “Megyn Kelly Today,” is “not about...

Megyn Kelly revealed in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres that it was President Trump's constant attacks that led to her decision to depart Fox News after a 12-year career with the cable news network. The NBC host also said that she left the legal profession to get into journalism because she enjoyed reporting the news, but did not enjoy the amount of political coverage she eventually had to do as the host of her primetime show, 'The Kelly File.'

On August 21, the Great American Eclipse passed over a wide swath of the United States, crossing 14 states, and all but overwhelming the cable-news and broadcast landscape. The eclipse, after all, was a perfect television story: an uncontroversial natural wonder that could bring huge audiences together. On the set of the Today show at 30 Rockefeller Center, co-hosts Savannah Guthrie and Matt Lauer were ready to capitalize on the cosmic, collective event. They welcomed onto the set NBC weather anchor Dylan Dreyer and their recently hired megastar colleague Megyn Kelly. The mood was festive and light. Guthrie was dressed...

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.

The initial run of Megyn Kelly’s Sunday newsmagazine show will reportedly be taken off the air at least two episodes earlier than scheduled because of her disastrous ratings. Last week, Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly set another viewership low with just 2.71 million total viewers. In the last three weeks, her show has failed to beat the years-old Dateline rerun the network ran in her show’s time slot when Kelly took a week off during the Fourth of July holiday weekend. According to the New York Post, “Kelly’s ratings-challenged Sunday show was announced as a limited” run that would return...

How low is the floor for Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly’s ratings? When it comes to Kelly, absence did not make the heart grow fonder. Kelly’s show returned from a week off last night and hit another new low in total viewers. Her show could not even get more viewers than a years-old rerun of Dateline that ran the week before during the Fourth of July holiday weekend when many television viewers were not even in their homes.
