Megyn Kelly’s Sunday night newsmagazine on NBC was originally billed as a weekly program but has been demoted to a program that will air “periodically,” according to a press release sent Tuesday by the network. "Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly" had an eight-episode run in the summer of 2017 to kick off Kelly’s tour at the Peacock Network before her 9 a.m. ET daily show premiered in the fall. The Sunday show was always scheduled to take a break for NBC’s coverage of “Sunday Night Football” and the Winter Olympics but was expected to return. NBC News sent a press...

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 reportedly 'threw an Olympic fit' when she was told Katie Couric had been offered the job of covering next month's Winter Games opening ceremony for NBC. It has been claimed Kelly - who joined the network from Fox News last year on a $23 million a year deal - had insisted that she should not be forced to cover special events as well as her usual responsibilities.

The decision to install Megyn Kelly as part of NBC's coverage of President Trump's State of the Union address on Tuesday is not sitting well with some at the network. A source tells DailyMail.com that those involved in the special are horrified' by the move and trying to get out of 'working or appearing' with Megyn. The former Fox News host will be joining a line-up that includes Lester Holt, Savannah Guthrie, Chuck Todd, Andrea Mitchell, and Tom Brokaw, with appearances from NBC News chief White House correspondents Hallie Jackson and Kasie Hunt, 11-day White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci...

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 email was sent by the show's head writer to colleagues after he was fired this week following complaints he made to NBC News president Noah Oppenheim and to NBC HR.

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...

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 aired her interview with right-wing provocateur and conspiracy-monger Alex Jones on Sunday night. And a number of big name advertisers were conspicuously absent from the ad roster of the anchor's new newsmagazine show. According to data crunched by TV ad analytics company iSpot.tv, the third episode of Kelly's show "Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly" featuring Jones carried noticeably fewer national advertisers than the previous two episodes. While the first episode had 39 national advertisers and the second had 36, last night's controversial episode had only 29. Ads for several big-name advertisers, including McDonald's, Bank of America and Kia,...

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...
