Megyn Kelly has fashioned herself as a champion of the #MeToo movement, filling her NBC talk show, “Megyn Kelly Today,” with brave women fighting injustice. But a former colleague says it’s all an act. “She’s disrespectful,” Iren Halperin, a Fox News makeup artist for 20 years who retired in 2016, told Page Six. “She’s not for women. She’s extremely mean and rude to women.”

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 it’s unclear if Kelly made the decision to stay home herself, it’s unusual nonetheless. NBC traditionally sends its entire panoply of news stars to the games, and true to form, both the “Today” show...

NBC’s Megyn Kelly featured an interview with three Donald Trump accusers prior to a press conference by Brave New Films, a leftist company releasing a documentary of the accusers. A White House spokesperson said: These false claims, totally disputed in most cases by eyewitness accounts, were addressed at length during last year’s campaign, and the American people voiced their judgment by delivering a decisive victory. The timing and absurdity of these false claims speaks volumes and the publicity tour that has begun only further confirms the political motives behind them.

Three women who have accused President Donald Trump of sexual misconduct came together to share their stories with Megyn Kelly. On Monday’s edition of Megyn Kelly Today, Jessica Leeds, Samantha Holvey and Rachel Crooks spoke to Kelly about a man who they deem to be — in the words of Leeds — “a pevert.” “It was heartbreaking,” Holvey said of Trump being elected after she, Leeds, and Crooks came forward. Holvey added, “For us to put ourselves out there to show America who this man is and especially how he views women, and for them to say ‘We don’t care,’...

Have you noticed that if you fail to do, think, and vote exactly the way that the liberals and their Fredocon minions demand, you’re a racist, sexist, homophobic, child molesting, greedy, NRA terrorist determined to murder kids? Yeah, you probably have. And you’ve probably also realized that if you do everything that the liberals and their Never Trump minions demand, you’re still a racist, sexist, homophobic, child molesting, greedy, NRA terrorist determined to murder kids. When you understand that, you’re on your way to being conservative woke. And when you’re conservative woke, you’re ready to deploy the most powerful non-bullet...

Her ratings tanking, Megyn Kelly has a new idea: Why not interview three women who claimed President Trump sexually harassed them? According to CNBC: NBC News Anchor Megyn Kelly will conduct an exclusive live sit-down interview on Monday, Dec. 11 with three women who have publicly accused President Donald Trump of sexual misconduct, the network said. The interview with Jessica Leeds, Samantha Holvey and Rachel Crooks will air on NBC News' "Megyn Kelly TODAY" at 9 a.m. New York time. Interesting, because the former Fox News host made her name by quarreling with Donald Trump over sexism, back when he...

Staffers at The Today Show have expressed their disgust and outrage at Megyn Kelly for her smug, self-aggrandizing display and insensitivity to her distraught colleagues in the wake of Matt Lauer's firing. Insiders at the show told DailyMail.com that if she had a public comment to make she should have focused on the accuser and the Today team who are devastated by by the allegation surrounding Lauer and his firing, which came late Tuesday night.

NBC News got Biden all morning long Monday as he officially launched his so-called American Promise Tour promoting his new memoir Promise Me, Dad, about the last year of his son Beau’s life. But across most of the morning franchise’s four hours, he took questions about 2020, President Trump, and Hillary Clinton. “I understand the Rust Belt,” Biden told Kelly. “Donald Trump has no notion what those people are going through…It’s not a criticism; it’s an observation. They call me Middle Class Joe – it’s not meant as a compliment in Washington, it means I’m not sophisticated. But I understand...

Megyn Kelly dressed like Shania Twain in the 'Man! I Feel Like a Woman' music video for the annual 'Today' Halloween special When Matt Lauer, dressed in drag once again as Dolly Parton, asked Megyn how she felt, she said: 'Every shred of my dignity is gone' Megyn wore a skin-tight skirt and bustier, giant choker and miniature top hat She later got a big surprise when Shania Twain appeared on the plaza to get a look at her costume, before later appearing on Megyn's hour of 'Today' Megyn returned to her studio after the costume reveal to find that...

Last year, Megyn Kelly was doing very well for herself. Her nightly show on Fox News, The Kelly File, had briefly unseated The O’Reilly Factor at the top of the ratings, and she was slowly becoming more popular with both conservatives and liberals alike. But The Guardian writes that Kelly was not happy, so she went to NBC, where she was offered an $18 million a year contract to host a morning show. The Guardian writes that NBC most likely thought Kelly had a “rare crossover appeal: one part soccer mom to one part school principal.” But then her show was canceled two episodes before its finale, and the network seemed to have higher...

'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 TV career continues to crash and burn. Along with her self-respect, apparently. Hoda Kotb, the popular host of “Today,” joined Kelly as a guest on her show. As their segment wrapped up, the ladies got up and danced among the live audience (video below). Awkward! The cringeworthy moment was almost universally panned on social media, with many calling it embarrassing, contrived and a cheap stunt for ratings. “Lots can happen in a year,” actor James Woods deadpanned on Twitter. The Daily Caller’s media critic Ian Miles Cheong quipped: “I feel nothing but second-hand embarrassment for Megyn Kelly.” BuzzFeed...

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.”

Megyn Kelly is so toxic that she is reportedly dragging down NBC’s lucrative Today franchise as viewers are just tuning out NBC because of the vapid former Fox News talent. According to a report in the New York Post’s Page Six, “Kelly’s hour of ‘Today’ is down 32 percent compared to a year ago. And ‘Kathie Lee & Hoda’ is down 26 percent.” “Not only are ratings plummeting since Megyn Kelly joined the ‘Today’ franchise, but the numbers show Kelly’s lead-in has also affected Kathie Lee [Gifford] and Hoda Kotb’s show, which follows straight afterwards,” a source told the outlet....

Megyn Kelly is raking in $23m a year for her new NBC morning show and is locked in for the next three years, DailyMailTV exclusively revealed Network executives have slammed the former Fox News host saying that her salary is 'obscene' and a 'slap in the face' to other NBC veteran stars Matt Lauer, who has been at NBC for 23 years, has an estimated salary of $25m, Jimmy Fallon, who is host of a popular late night show, earns around $15m One high-ranking insider said: 'How on earth can they justify paying her $69m for three years?' Another added:...

'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.

Megyn Kelly, NBC News’ $15 million woman, had her show bumped on Monday in the wake of the mass murders in Las Vegas — and sources say it’s a bad sign. After a rough first week, “Megyn Kelly Today” was pre-empted at the 9 a.m. hour so that Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie could continue anchoring news on the deadliest shooting in US history. “It’s baffling why they didn’t have Kelly participate in the coverage,” one network veteran said. “They seem confused.”

As we predicted this morning, it was only a matter of time until viewers of Megyn Kelly Today were going to be exposed to another cringeworthy interview to suffer through. Like clockwork, the show experienced another headline-making moment mere hours later – but to Kelly‘s credit, this time wasn’t really her fault. During an interview with decorated American soccer player and Olympic gold medalist Carli Lloyd, a member of Kelly’s crew inadvertently stepped into frame while Lloyd discussed what had changed for her since scoring her infamous game-winning goals. Lloyd began her answer to Kelly but was soon obscured by...

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.
