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.
Although NBC has thrown its weight behind the new show, Kelly's ratings tanked on Wednesday, critics have slammed the star for not connecting with her audience and she has found herself in a string of uncomfortable celebrity guest encounters.
One high-ranking staffer exclusively told DailyMailTV: 'This is insane! How on earth can they justify paying her $69 million for three years? It's obscene...

Someone here thinks it’ll be HSN. I think she’ll be doing late-night infomercials for detoxifying your bowels.
Good for her.
She was smart and lined her pockets with 69MM.
I think it is hilarious. I can’t stand the little snot, but admire her for making a fool of NBC.
As a side bonus......Lauer and Fallon are upset. Dissention in the NBC ranks is just a whoop whoop happy dance...
For your info NBC, you are overpaying all of them.
Stephen Colbert. He was tanking hard on CBS until he went full-on Trump hate and now they hype his $&#% like crazy.
It’s a payoff for her attempted hatchet job on Trump. She couldn’t pull it off but they still have to pay her.
They had a bunch of really awful women, and suddenly replaced all of them. The replacements appear to be better, so hopefully they wouldn’t be looking for anyone else.
She’ll have the money but she’ll always be known for the money going forward and as a punch line . . . not for her professional accomplishments. It’s be like being branded with a scarlet $ sign on her forehead.
I previously recommended the mid-level attorney opening at CBS.
Now I’m thinking Thursday Night Football field reporterette might be a better fit for Megyn. #sinkingships
What's s "nitie"?
You never know if they hired "hip" youngin's to negotiate. Or, people that eschew history, aka learning from the bombs that were "Chevy Chase", "Magic Johnson", "Joan Rivers", yadda yadda yadda.
I’m neither a Megyn Kelly nor a NBC fan but if she managed to get $69 million out of them, that’s not a bad deal.
Has anyone actually looked at her show? I’ll I’ve read was that there have been some awkward moments and she interrupted Tom Brokaw.
I really don’t think the 9 figures plus she’s going to have banked when everything is said and done, that she’s going to care much about being a punchline.. she’ll always have some fans and followers no matter what, and just engage them if she needs validation.
Machinegun Kelly’s rapid-fire accuse/interrupt bump-schtick isn’t working. Your ammo is useless, Kelly. It’s over.
she said bad things about Trump... that’s worth 69 million to liberals!
lol
Good.
No one will see her there........................
In this case she sleeps with the fishes.................
Glad to see fake news NBC take it in the shorts. They are still paying serial liar Brian Williams millions of dollars too, right?
That horse’s patoot from the Comedy Channel that has a late night show...................
THAT would be icing on the cake!...........................
