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: 'The network that created Barbara Walters, Tom Brokaw and Matt Lauer will now forever be remembered for the $69m hire of Megyn Kelly'
NBC executives not involved in her hiring are furious over Megyn Kelly's 'obscene' $23 million salary for her tanking morning show and think it's a slap in the face to other established stars at the network, DailyMailTV has exclusively revealed.
Although it was rumored the former Fox News anchor was only being paid $17 million for her new role at NBC, Kelly will actually line her pockets with a total of $69 million over the course of three years for swapping politics for talk show antics.
Her hefty salary has drawn the scorn of senior NBC and Comcast executives who believe the 46-year-old shouldn't be raking in more than the network's veteran stars.

Is she doing the morning show in spaghetti straps too?
I think she’ll succeed wonderfully with an exercise show.
69 million is alot for getting “screwed”
I’ve had a lot better for a lot less.
(The lawyers got the rest!) (Ha Ha!)
All of those salaries are obscene.
After they bounce her, she can join Katie Couric in the “Wish I were relevant group”!
NBC went with the “Field of Dreams” marketing strategy.
If you air her, they will ....
LMAO! You are prolly correct!!
She sure raked it in.She has a great agent.
They are called tits, Parmy.
I bet they have blood shooting from their eyes, or somewhere...
Well waddda ya’ expect when you put petty, teenaged girls in charge....
These idiots only saw her hatred for Trump and just HAD to have her.
And I’ll say it til the end of time: She is NOT “hot” in the least.
Trying to portray Kelly as a warm, affable and empathetic person is like trying to re-brand Hitler as Mr. Rogers.
Ain’t gonna work.
