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.

EXCLUSIVE: NBC's '$69 MILLION mistake!' Network executives slam the floundering Megyn Kelly as they reveal she is making $23M yearly in a three-year deal for her morning show - rivaling salaries of Matt Lauer and Jimmy Fallon
A fool and their money are soon parted....................
Haha!
She looks better in a nitie
It sucks to be NBC
Right up there with NFL ‘knee takers’.
Where’s the Simpson bully pointing and saying “Ha Ha”?
That is an expensive mistake. Too bad, so sad.
Matt Lauer was the official “Girly Man” until Chuck Todd replaced him : )
And cable subscriptions are falling. Too bad for ComcastNBCEtc.
Perfect bedfellows. Bwahahahaha.
There you go NBC, blaming the girl.
"Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd." LMAO.
Not much.
There ain’t any rides at her amusement park.
It’s basically just an asphalt parking lot and some high priced ticket booths, and that’s it.
She’s willing to take a knee and they aren’t.
I, for one, am glad to see NBC make such a costly mistake. And Megyn, who will be sent home to collect the last $46 million after NBC tries to “cut their losses” on her, will be laughing all the way to the bank.
No one will like her, trust her, or even remember her, but she’ll have plenty of cash to wallow in, to ease her pain.
It’s called a CONTRACT. Not trilled with her, but they agreed to it, now eat it! LOL!
By the way I do not watch NBC ever!
So much great material, so little time.....great minds.
